I am a level 91 White Knight on Mardia; max fire, max ice, 4 points in charge blow...
The question is, what is the real utility of charge blow and exactly how/when/against what is its best use? Pretty much a noob question but I haven't been able to find the detail I need in any posts. Can't be that obvious, can it? I know it's powerful and want to be able to use it to its fullest, so I come to the pros.
The best time to use Charge Blow is when your charge is about to end. Of course you could macro whatever charge you want and Charge Blow, but that would be slow.
In the 4th job you get Advanced Charge Blow which powers up Charge Blow by 10% damage each level(making it 350% at lvl10). It also gives 10% chance of keeping your charge when using Charge Blow each level. This means that Charge Blow will take the place of Slash Blast as mob attack in the 4th job, and in the 3rd job when your charge ends.
Charge Blow will be a finisher until you get Advanced Charge Blow, after that it will be your mob attack.
EDIT: Does anyone know more about Soul Master(Cygnus Warrior) already?
