Ask a Soul Master/Dawn Warrior Thread

I said Max Soul Driver.

It just sounded like you stopped at 11 Soul Charge to save for Brandish, when you actually can stop at 14.

It just sounded like you stopped at 11 Soul Charge to save for Brandish, when you actually can stop at 14.

If you stop at 14, you get 27 Brandish at level 100.

The combo's formula is 100% accurate?
Is AC% + 20% + (Orbs-5) x 4% correct?
So for Dawn Warriors it would be 140% + 20% + (10-5) x 4% = 180%?
Can someone tell me?
Erm Russt, you said in Post#224 that the Dawn Warrior's Combo% could be found in the Skill.wz. So assuming what you said was true it is 180% for Dawn Warriors?

So when using Brandish : 230% x 180%(AC) x 120%(Soul Charge default +20%) x 125%(Soul Charge elemental advantage against holy weak mob is +25%, not +50%) x 2hits x 3mobs = 3726% ?
OMG that's a heck load of damage.

Can any kind and experienced forummer clear my doubts?

Am I right?
And Soul Charge has a 125% elemental advantage against Holy-Weak mobs rite?
So when fighting Skeles it would be 120%(Default Increase) x 125%(Elemental Advantage) = 150% ??

yes.

If you stop at 14, you get 27 Brandish at level 100.

Ah, I just realized that Brandish takes 30 SP. Most Cygnus Knights take 20, which usually leaves a skill ending in 4. Thanks.

Any word on exact millisecond timing of Brandish + FA? I heard that Final Attack activates at the same time as it does for Power Strike / Slash Blast, but is that true? If so, does it use stabbing timing or all other combo timing?

yes.

Oo ty.
How abt the 3726% on 3 mobs with Brandish? Is it rite? Coz the damage is like... SO HIGH

That's not high.

That's not high.

But its a total of 3726% on 3 mobs rite?

Yes. Is it that hard to do multiplication?

I haven't seen the whole thread but I did do a bit of digging. Other than himes/gobies, what are some good training areas at 101 with level 24 brandish and 157 (with sniper pills) accuracy? I might start to skele at 105, 108, or 110 but I'm looking for some ideas on what to do until then.

You're stuck at himes till you can hit skeles 100%, which i couldn't do until 111 with the exact same acc you have (with pills).

Well then let me rephrase, what are some not-so-great-but-acceptable spots. I figured nothing really compares to himes, but there's got to be something soloable that gives decent exp without putting me to sleep. Sleep = 0%/hour. I'll probably just goby if there's no alternative that gives maybe 80-90% of that exp per hour.

Wyverns? Green guards or one of those things? Stormbreakers/night shadows in the hall? Kents? Anything? xD

You can always go the those places you just listed and test out for 10min with a speed pill and see how good is the exp...

Gobies or black wyverns. (never tried wyverns, but i think they're weak to holy, and the map layout isn't so bad, so it might be worth a shot)

Dark wyverns are not weak to holy.

Gobies it is then.

Switch to Supreme Pizzas. Cost the same as Grilled Cheese but heal more. You should have Iron Body instead of Cheese, but if you don't, keep a stack of Cheese for the defense and use Supreme Pizzas for MP.
