Ask a Soul Master/Dawn Warrior Thread

Question, if I'm going DEXless I should maybe get 1 Soul Blade then max Mastery ASAP right? (Or get it to lv19) Cause I see lots of people in the other Dawn Warrior thread maxing Soul Blade first, so I'm wondering if they're gonna have more base DEX so they can actually hit stuff or what. I mostly want to max Mastery first for the ACC boost it gives.

Another question while I'm at it, how far would these equips get me if I want to go DEXless:

I also have a 7 ACC Bandana, and a 17 STR, 16 DEX, 15 LUK, 21 ACC Zakum Helmet to Karma over from my other character. The beginner top+bottom are just for before lv35.

Uh... I'm not sure how much more you can squeeze in, since I haven't been in GMS since January last year, but without a Zhelm, I don't think that's going to get you far. With a Zhelm, it MIGHT be enough, but you might want to try getting better earrings, a better face accessory (if possible), and anything else you can squeeze in that gives dex/luk/accuracy. With my equips, this is my calculated end-game accuracy for my Soul Master :

 Spoiler

10 dex 10 luk 10 accuracy helmet = 23 accuracy
10 dex earrings = 8 accuracy
1 dex 15 accuracy mask = 15.8 accuracy
5 dex nose = 4 accuracy
15 dex 5 accuracy pants = 17 accuracy
9 dex cape = 7.2 accuracy
1 dex 1 luk pendant = 1.3 accuracy
4 dex 4 luk belt = 5.2 accuracy
1 dex 1 luk medal = 1.3 accuracy
15 accuracy (blessing)= 15 accuracy
20 accuracy (mastery) = 20 accuracy
2 dex 9 accuracy shoes = 10.6 accuracy

total accuracy: 131.6

So, once you get your Zhelm, if you're missing out on accuracy, you might want to look for other ways to improve your gear.
