    That would depend on if you were stunned more or frozen more in PvP and has nothing to do with it being a dex genie or not. At least, not for the sake of utility.

    If you're looking for something to put together genie skills and really have a build for said genie that compliments all its skills, or anything at all genie related, this http://aster.ohmydays.net/pw/geniecalculator.html#skills= is a very nice tool to use aka genie calculatour.

    As to your question, badge of courage is dexterity based while remove paralysis is also dex based (/or/ strength based, it would also work on a strength genie.) Badge of courage increases the effect every two dex points and remove paralysis is every four dex points.
    The movement ailment related cure that relies on strength only is Lawbreaker, and that's for silence effects, if that's what you were thinking of~

    And yes context is very important; it may be worth noting that the paralysis status ailment(the purple swirling circle) isn't counted as a stun so if you have an anti-stun skill like Fortify, you can still be paralyzed.

    Except it's a pain to work faith into a versatile genie unless it's very high level due to the affinity requirements. It also uses a great deal of energy. Don't get me wrong, I think faith is a great skill, but it's not the most practical either.

    Agreed. Faith is one of the best skills but requires a highly specialized genie with a crapton of lp.

    Ofc if u can fit tht in ur genie with some other nice skills then its a keeper. Try for 190 Energy+ and a high regen rate

    Exactely, only 3 Genie skills i need are Faith, Holy Path, and Tree of Protection, faith only requires 160 energy, so i got it on a Disicpline Genie. At lv 101 it can learn these 3 skils, put enough into vit, and rest into mag, great pvp genie

    Ah... I have had Belief/Faith on my genie for close on a year now. Its great, don't get me wrong, but its high energy cost does a lot to offset its usefulness in a long fight. Against a taltented opponent, if you don't use an apoth or anti-stun skill after the 6 seconds of faith, he'll press the attack strongly, aware that your genie is kaput for a little while.

    This is where skills like badge of courage and fortify come in. If you are getting strongly attacked, all hope is not lost while you still have those skills ready, which a 200 energy, 2.5+ energy per second genie can easily do pretty quick after using a belief.

    Tree of protection is great against arcanes but sucks mightly against sins who'll kill you before it finishes going off most of the time.

    prob is with that much energy and mag/regen, it's hard to get dex high enough, even with orbs to make badge effective. not completely pointless but still disappointing when it fails like 1/2 the time b:surrender

    The problem with faith genies is that after the 6 second grace period, theres around a minute where the skill is in cooldown. This makes a huge window for your opponent to incapacitate you and turn the fight against you. Plus the huge energy cost prevents you from using other skills when your genie's energy is regenerating. But anyway, Faith is not a viable skill on a high dex genie, it requires a lot of vit to work.

    As to the original question, badge of courage has always worked well for me. A stun is more dangerous than a paralysis, in my opinion (im an archer, i can leap out of the way in case i get paralyzed).
