TW as veno

Advice is fairly good and all, but she meant besides the obvious.
I saw her videos and my advice was about how to improve, not the obvious advice. I saw her genie skills, if she has pots etc. and made my suggestions on it and on top of it I added my own experience and observation as I usually do so others can see things from my point of view.

1. It'll take most likely months to get the morai skills, and most likely more money to get Chi Burn since it rarely drops. Actually.. it'd cost money for everything since manually getting the books take forever (so ppl buy them instead or ask someone to get it for them) and then learning the skills cost even more money.
It will take approximately 3 months (or less) to get the three Morai skills and the only AEU skill she'll need is Chi Burn; Soul Shatter isn't very useful and Bewitched Tiger is optional. I'd say to run a couple of AEUs every day while doing Morai quests for the orders' skills and Chi Burn will eventually drop.

2. Venos can't do anything else but suicide purge/amp. In a tw, no one has time to buff (with the exception of the designated cleric base buffer) especially when they're going up against a faction full of r9/g16 players. So that advice is out of the question too. No one can afford to stand around and wait for a bm or barb to buff them.
Umm...Venomancers can do more than just suicide purge and amp. Lucky Scarab is nice for quick stuns, Zooming Powder + Parasitic Nova is also a nice combination to stunlock a group of players and AA build Venomancers should be able to deal decent damage on HA classes so they can always attack and assist DD their squad (coordination and teamwork comes into play) while debuffs are on cooldown. There are also our Myriad Rainbow skills. Arcane Antinomy is quite nice too (physical damage + great channeling debuff). She can farm it via Treasure Maps if she has the patience.

As for the buffing part, that's up to the squad teamwork and overall coordination unless the opposing faction is much too powerful and yours is turtling (but in that case you might not have a chance to go up against said faction to begin with).

The pots mentioned are good advice though. But any advice that could suggest longer survivability, such as being less of a target, being able to go all ninja to get the deed done, etc.? Is there anything that she hasn't done already that she could possibly try out?
There's nothing you can do besides have IG/Sutra/Feral ready and work on your gear to improve your survivability. Flying and being out of sight could do the work but it won't be very effective since you need to get up close anyway.
