Knight of Cygnus: Soul Master

Whenever I'm making my Soul Master, I'm going to be maxing my 'Soul' sprite and not Power Strike. Reasons?

-Played a Warrior before (and got it to PADK, at that!)
-Power Strike < Slash Blast, mobbing > 1hitKO per target(s).
-It'd be nice to have a USEFUL summoning anyways, even if the damage is crap, it still lasts long, and it looks cool.

Unlike the 2nd job build listed here, I'll be getting lv 6 Sword Booster as soon as my Mastery lets me, which I think is EITHER lv 3 or 5 Mastery iirc, been a while since I got booster on my last Warrior.

Slash Blast becomes useless in early 4x (45 ish, give or take). Soul Blade replaces it completely by then. Even earlier if someone chose to max it before Mastery, I guess, which would be weird...but whatever. Point is: Slash Blast is only useful to carry you to Soul Blade.

Power Strike may not be very useful in the early levels, but it is certainly a necessary skill. There will be many times where you need a quick hit to deal with a straggler or something. Or if you wish to do the BPQ/area bossing. Simply, it's just GOOD to have a single hit skill, rather than bogging yourself down with mob skills only. I'd rather be able to handle more situations.

Soul is ABSOLUTELY, NO DEBATE terrible. It is NOT useful. It is ONLY helpful (and even that is slightly) during 1st job and kind of early 2nd job. Level 11 (hell, even 1) is enough to serve its purpose. It quickly reaches the point where you wonder WHY you're still casting it. Trust me on this. It's a massive joke of a skill, which you will definitely realize by 4x, at the latest.

Not saying you can't do it, of course. Whatever you want and whatever you think is fun. I'm just saying it's a terrible use of your points.
