    They're freaking lazy.

    Does anything else really need to be said?

    There might be an update in 5 years for genie skills, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
    101 Sage Sin*/Archer
    100 Demon BM*/Barb
    96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
    95 Demon Wiz/
    94 Sage Veno
    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    Actually they were updated!!

    They nerfed some of the skills a month or so after genies were released, if I remember correctly.

    ...Oh, that's not what you were talking about?

    Yeah, i remember the nurf...

    I still have a genie that cannot use ToP cuz they changed the affinities.




    IMO fishes are already overpowered, they dont need any personal skill.



    Since many genies skill are based on things such as APOs and stuff they should add an anti stealth skill like the detenction pots we have already.

    I think there was only one nerf. If they ever do magically decide to revisit genies they will hopefully add a detection skill.

    The funny part is that you still see a bunch of empty boxes on the second page lol.

    Even IF we needed a genie revamp, would you really trust the current devs to do something that complex? Especially considering they probably aren't the same devs who made the genie system?

    I mean, everything they touch seems to turn to ****. The genies aren't perfect, but they are more-or-less balanced (at least compared to other parts of the system). I say, let's not rock the boat. >_>

    nah, there were two, after the second one they had to make a quest for everyone to get free resets because they really munged some of this skills. Too bad the quest was only valid for a couple of weeks and then removed again.

    I liked holy pathing people into bosses when it was an AoE buff >.<

    Also the ToP thing was ****... but i guess it was Op with the affinity it used to require.

    And then thunderstorm... was made dex based? instead of str based? something like that

    But nothings gonna change, it never does

    what genie skills could u possibly add for the fish?

    I know, an assassin skill that makes you stealth mode and unable to be targeted even while you are attacking! It's brilliant!

    My point is, assassins and psychics do well enough without their own genie skills. I honestly don't know what more you can add to those classes.

    We're just hoping that dev wont make any new only-tb/eg skills since they are already kinda OP.

    You spoke in plural, like you were referring to the guys (like me) who disagreed to the OP.

    Yet, you quote the OP to make your statements.




    The OP (singular) is QQing about genies skill not being renewed for youngest races

    The community (plural) is saying that the new races are already OP and that we dont need to put hands into genie skills. Also cuz they might fak em up as they usually do when fixing things.



    So, you are right in the end...


    What you say is not what you are reading

    I remember that nerf (when holy path became self only and stamina costs were raised across the board), but I don't remember any nerf before then.


    here are the changes they made in that nerf

    Tree of protection was the first nerf. Went from full instant heal as well as the max hp increase to the heal over time we have now. Was around the same time they made lucky points the deciding factor in amount of skills as opposed to mag lvl.

    Both of those changes were mentioned in that patch I linked. Do you know of any genie changes that were not in that patch?

    I'm bad about clicking on links like that lol . There were a lot of description changes up to the patch you linked. There were actually more changes then I remembered back then. Like the ones in this.
    http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=364542

    Pretty much can just dig through the patch notes from the time they were added in the Age of Spirits expansion. TOP was the one that stuck out the most as far as my genie use was concerned. Ah the memories.

    I hate when ppl give others this info because you still get them from the genie NPC quests at 70 or 80


    and exactly what skills are for only sin and psychic?

    No, but it would be ****ing hilarious to see AD / Relentless Courage / Frenzy (Engrage) blocked from Assassin use. b:laugh
