Knight of Cygnus: Soul Master

Until Soul Blade is level 21+, I wouldn't completely count out Slash Blast and Power Strike. They still have their uses in certain situations, namely Carnival PQ. In CPQ, I usually used Soul Blade to gather mobs, then Slash Blast them away. If there was one or two left, I'd cut them down with Power Strike. Power Strike is also good for boss monsters. You wouldn't be using Soul Blade over Power Strike on a single target. That's just plain dumb. That's like using Iron Arrow instead of Double Arrow on a boss. There's no point to it, since you can kill it much easier and much faster with the single target skill.

exactly what i was trying to say.

@Modular, Maxing the sprite is just plain out dumb. It's utterly useless. It hits maybe a third of the damage you can normally hit in a third of the time. that's 1/9 of the damage you can hit. (At least at my level, that is.) Iron body is pointless, you dont need that extra defense. Until you get Brandish, it's important to have Power Strike. (Read ShiKage's post)
