There si a delay, not too bad. For training you barely even notice. When walking, I "jump shoot" soul runner and then go to my mount for ~1 second then get off and do it again. I'd say the delay is anbout as long as SP, but perhaps a bit less. Not sure since I rarely play my infighter now.
First job: Looks pretty good
Second job: Personally, I LOVE soul runner. I maxed it first because it only took 3 levels. It REALLY helps trainign with soul blade too. Also, I wouldn't max final attack so early -- I maxed it last.
Third job: Needs a lot of improvement. Combo attack: don't go farther than level 15 for a bit (this is when you get 5 orbs). I am not sure whether it would have been better to go combo attack first but I know it was good at 15. I personally did soul driver to 21 (if that is the level that it hits 7 mobs) > 15 combo > 26 driver > soul charge > combo attack >soul driver. Then I stopped there. This let me save up 21 SP for level 100 to dump into 3-hit brandish (same for advanced combo at 110). Your build doesn't save SP for brandish/advanced combo -- big mistake. I NEVER needed to use panic/coma so you wopn't really need to add them before 110. I just got panic so I could have a "look at my e-penis" moment. I actually dumped the remainder points I had back into booster (16 to sync with rage) and some back into MP recovery (saves me in dojo occasionally) instead of coma.
Soul driver's range is about the same range as soul blade (except it goes behind you too). That is with max driver though. Its range increases with level (as I observed). It's a great mob skill and it helped me goby pretty well up until 100. Lastly, you don't need skillbooks.
P.S. I wrote these replies fast since I have a few other stuff to do as well.
modular Wrote:some of the (forceful) suggestions i read about 2nd job are that soul blade is most important because practically it replaces ps and sb so max it (or add to 21) first. 2nd, its always a fairly good idea to get booster right after 5 mastery. finally, get final attack last if you get it. soul blade doesnt activate it. youre thinking like a fighter. fighters are an inferior class to soul masters.
for 3rd job, tehmatt's is good although id max out brandish from 100-103 since you only need to save 20 sp for ac.
thank you both of you xD
here's an editted version of the builds
