So I'm nearing my 2nd class change and I'm incredibly weary about becoming a Soulbreaker, I would like to be one because they seem like my style, also I like that there aren't a alot around, however, the reason for this could be quite obvious.
Basically, I don't want to be stuck with an underpowered class, can anyone here sway my opinion?
Cheers

P.S. could you tell me how to change my display name? I couldn't see it in my profile thingy...
But... Debuffs are awesome. REALLY awesome. The crit rates are quite good too. Skills like voice bind, blink, death mark, checkmate... steal divinity... curse of divinity... Go look at the skill tree on the site and you'll know what I'm talking about :)
What do you mean its a normal root now? I remember seeing the AFK players killing orfen. LOTS of sorcerers nuking while the kamael had her nerfed... :eek:
Yeah they nerfed it into a normal root. It's not that nice, yellow energy that would bind even Orfen. Unfortunately. It's a normal root just like the Dark Avenger's ones for example.
Sounds like a nice class to dabble in, Could anyone enlighten me on how your average fight/grind session would go? Do you use all of these skills often or are you mainly running around hoping for crit with your rapier?
Well i was Soulbreaker at first that was why i started to play lineage 2. At first i think wow soulbreaker rocks and stuff and it does and if you like the style of playing soulbreaker i dont see a reason why you shouldnt play him. Well kamael lacks of Hp because of their low CON but later on you get cool skills which lets you steal your enemy buffs or damage them based on how many buffs debufs have they on. They also have this great skill Checkmate and Shining Edge and its possible to deal a lethal strike , he also have some awesome debuff skills like root and it lands a lot. But in the end its supportive class and can be deadly if played well. And in Gracia you will be able to use skills without souls except for Final Form and Dark Seeds skills i think but if you wanna make them more powerful for every skill it will consume 5 souls, you can also buy soul bottles to keep souls there.
But in the end i stopped playing my kamael because they are little nerfed like some other classes out there so no complaining( And i found out that deadly roulette skill of Arbalester class is uselles but it looks so cool when male kamael with sub uses it) So if you like the class and kamaels do it and play it. Good Luck :)
By now you've already chosen your Kamael class. I'm just now getting my soul breaker to mid-B grade and I must say that I like the wide array of situational skills. You get root and silence-type skills; a mortal blow-type skill; empower and might-type skills; you can steal buffs from others; and a few other "concert" skills that work well together.
So far my favorite skills are deathmark+checkmate. When it lands, even a multi-XP mob, like the Oel Mahum Witchdoctor, drops in the blink of an eye.
What I don't like about the class is the low CON and the recycle time of some of the skills. I also don't like the fact that you can't use "Change Weapon" on an augmented weapon. I am one of a few people who actually likes the look of a Dama, so when I'm around town I'd like to change the rapier back. But oh well, this is a minor ordeal until I finish crafting my second Dama.
i dinlt have time to test this ....so
Can someone tell me if the max power of the skills is at soul=40 or the max power is if you get at least 5 soul with a skill!!!
Well, It is really fun to play a SB you can play mainly in two ways...
- Dagger Style
- Half Nuker style (my favorite)
If you go dagger style, name says it all, ofc you have a lot of debuff choices to help you with your hit and run tactics (Slow, root, blink, rush, hard march) some of them have cool reuse. But it's just to buff up and hit stuff.
Half nuker style is my favorte, coz you have dark attack power, just buff up with mage/warrior buffs, carry some bss and the tactic to follow is to target/nuke/finish with rapier. SB's nukes are few and with terrible reuse time, but THEY-HIT-HARD specially with souls charged to top. Usually you can remove half of HP of a mob on ur lvl range with one nuke, you can take about 90% of total HP with a combo of SoP and Anihilation circle and then give a quick stab. Or 1 -2 shot mobs which are weak to dark attacks ^^
There's also the support role which is good to, assisting ppl but MP consumption is too high... SB are DD. ^^ Hope this helps a little bit.
