Ask a Soul Master/Dawn Warrior Thread

Okay, I am stuck between which to max first.

Combo has to take time to gain orbs, and Soul Charge has some elemental effect on it. They both seem to give 1.2x damage, so which is the best choice? It seems I should choose Soul Charge since it has no wait time and also has a bonus effect? However, everyone seems to be choosing Combo instead. Why is this?

Also, which one of these builds is the most efficient:

#1
max soul driver
max combo OR soul charge

#2
max combo OR soul charge
max soul driver

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure some weird numbers add up so that combo actually gives 133% at max (120% with 1 orb). Some of the smarter people on this thread can tell you all about it. Oh, and Soul Driver should always come first, a measly 4/3 damage isn't going to add as much awesome as Soul Driver's godly range, number of targets, and nice damage.


I just watched ShiKage's video (missed the live broadcast) and am totally blown away by the speed of Soul Driver. I though it attacked way slower than regular attacks, like 1.5 second cast instead of .75 second cast. Is this change copypasta'd into GMS too?
