PWI : Genie builds and skills

lets start with the guide. I'll only post the 3 genie builds I know of and tell which classes more adaptable to them.

These are builds for PK, I will try to make a pve guide for genie later but pve skills are quite simple, a quick example would be full Magic/Vit genie with (Expel, Absolute Domain, Tree of Protection, Tangling Mire, etc)

Lets go back to the topic.

PROPER BUILDS

First you need a good genie with at least +110 Lucky Points. You also gotta pick a specific genie for each build, why? Let me give you an example.

If you're looking for skill effectiveness then you need a dex genie, the skills are going to be dex based obviously and the proper genie for this job is "Discipline or Longevity (Discipline will work better though)"  Why? because of the initial stats, since you are aiming to dex genie, these ones are perfect because they have the initial dex stat raised over the other stats, "and why is this good?" You may ask. Because after 40 points added, every build point added will take 2 of your level/lucky points gained, HERES an example.

"Looking for Dex genie build"

Lets say you have 80 points free and you want to add them to Dexterity on your genie.


Zeal = Initial 5 str, 3 Dex, 5 vit, 15 magic = +80 build points into dex the stats would end at 5 str, 63 Dex, 5 Vit and 15 magic.

While adding these points to a Longevity is another story...

Longevity = Initial 5 str, 15 dex, 5 vit, 3 magic = +80 build points into dex the stats would end at 5str, 75 Dex, 5 Vit, 3 Magic.

NOTE:Why ZEAL has 63 Dex?? Because once you've added 40 points to any stat, to add another build point you will need 2 level/Lucky points.

Also I wouldn't recommend you to craft normal genie gear (the one that is not made from Warsong Medals aka Warsong emblems) why? 'cause they only add +6 points to an specific stats while the one from warsong medals add +8 points divides by 2 stats.

How to craft Genie's gear.

First go to the NPC "Watcher of the earth" there is one at every main city (Archosaur has 2 though)

You will also need Warsong Medals
You need exactly 12 of them (since every genie gear is 3 Medals) and pick the gear that more suits to your genie build.

The medals can be bought from Boutique @ 30 silver each or farmed @ Warsong City, players sell them as well too (check the current prices).

Now that you have the idea of how to make a proper build to your genie, we can move on to the skills along with the build.

SKILLS

Well, I'm not going to post all the genie skills, only the ones that are useful IMO.

Str Genie build = Damage I recommend to add up to 110 str number, the rest into vit/magic.

You can use either Infliction or Zeal

Which skills do I add?
First, keep in mind that this genie is str based, so a str genie skill suits perfectly to it. I will share what kind of skills I do add to this kind of genie. These are the basic skills a STR based genie should have. (I'll add alternative skills at the end of the topic)

Also, I only recommend to level it to LEVEL 2/4 only, it only last 4 seconds but this skill is OP, why only lvl2? because Max lvl sucks too much energy = 140 energy, and it would leave you with no chance to use any other genie skill.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS (can be used on any genie build)

Absolute Domain
