dw, I'll give you info too b:cute

My tw genie is a 68/100 zeal. Like 75 mag, 50ish vit, some dex, and 6str.
Insanely high mag for energy restoration so I can spam cloud for more ultis. Also got holy path, fortify so I don't get stunned while using ultis, frenzy so my ultis do more damage, and ep for cata barbs or hard to kill targets.


My 1v1 genie is 72/100.
86dex, 50vit I think, 50 mag, 5str.
Obviously a dex genie. Wind shield for tanking ****. Expel for sin ganks. Badge/Fortify for the pretty animations. EP for charm bypasses. And holy path, which I use a lot, to run away from fights b:cute

*notes to himself for next week*

I hope we fight you next week tho <_< kinda bored of easy wars lol

So I was looking on world chat and i found this genie really cheap.

What skill should i add for the last slot? I was thinking Expel/CE/EP/Frenzy... but I'm more for Frenzy/EP because I won't need to level it up more. For the other 2 I will need to get it to 103 whch is a pain.

Nice genie. I'd actually recommend getting wind shield instead of any the skills you mentioned. With that there.. you'd have fortify + badge to keep you alive against aps classes, wind shield to keep you alive against magic classes, spark to go for the kill, and holy path/domain for anything else. I guess that's just my preference.

I'd also look at lowering your dex a bit. Right now it looks like you have 90 base dex.. you might consider dropping that to 84 (with 4dex gear it would bring you to 100dex) so that you could get vit to 45 and mag to 43 (the max vit/mag you can get without paying 2points/stat.. funny because your genie works out perfect so you can get the max AND 100 dex with gear and no extra points left over). I really think that after 100dex, other points would be more useful in vit/mag so you can use your skills more often.

Good luck!

Answered right in time (before TW).
I got windshield, if i won't like it... i'll go with Frenzy, but 27% reduction sounds pretty good

Thanks a lot Adroit!

haha np, just come back later and let us know how/if you like it. Even if you hate it and go back to your vit/mag genie, I still like to read about it (hopefully you do like it though) :P

Hehe... I can't say if i liked it... we've been almost rolled by the best faction on the server. Hard to survive with 50+ r9 in there.

It only has to save you from a triple spark plume shot once for you to decide it's amazing b:cute

^definitely not my alt b:avoid

lawl.. I was wondering who that was xD

can't you read? His name says notdakillsalt b:cute

Why would you use SS with genie spark (when you use genie spark on an opponent.. you should be cramming in as many fire skills as possible.. any water/earth skills are a waste) Or do you mean like triple spark?

Can frenzy and spark be stacked? thas really what i was wondering I keep thinking to try it when i'm on but always forget. (Pearl knocks on head)


And to answer Dekill's question; no, i found nothing odd about u genie if u demon cause i have no relative basis to judge that interaction. My first thought tho was that to spam enough CE to supply ultis on a regular basis would require more STR than that genie has. But, if it works for u then great!

I dumped CE off primary genie cause it too burdensome to fit with the other skills that are more important to the way i like to play. I keep it on secondary genie though mainly for NV to allow me triple spark an ultis. But, that's about the only situation i use CE anymore. And since i rarely NV i hardly ever use CE at all. But i did carry it at all times till 100. CE awesome for frosting pre-100 (for me).

I dumped enough into vit so that I can use 2 genie skills in a row like holy path and fortify.
The reason for the high mag is because I feel that being able to spam lvl 1 cloud at a cheaper energy cost is better than leveling it and using str points to get more chi from each one.
And ofc enough dex for my EP and fortify to be effective b:cute

But tbh I would keep CE on my genie even when I turn sage. The more chi the better b:victory

And my primary 1v1 genie doesn't have CE, because as you said, it ties up too much affinities

Does anyone use Whirlwind? If so, how effective is the immobilize/stun?
Sometimes your FoW and Sleep are both on CD and need something else to slow those mothers up in TW. Or what would be a useful skill instead?

Whirlwind:Deal small amount of damage to nearby targets. Briefly immobilizes and then stuns them. - from the wiki page

Holy Path
Absolute Domain
Leaf Dance
Frenzy
Cloud Eruption

Can't remember stat allocation (at work currently), and have no gears on it atm.

Sage.

ya, its for PVE/TW. Only have the one. Have another slot to fill atm so looking for something that is going to be helpful in TW. Adroit swears by badge, so i may look into getting that.
Last TW we had the other side had a lot of sins, that badge could have definitely helped with.
Used to have fortify but i didn't find it all that great. Maybe i was using it wrong b:thanks
