When i was hunting with my SB, i noticed that i have spended a lot on BSS.. it costs me like 150a (3 BSSD ) to make a dmg that 30a (3 SSD) would do with physical hit :S..
i would like to know your opinion if its rly worths to use magic.. and an extra:hunting without magic is boring i think :/

It depends on your setup, buffs and type of mob. Sometimes it's better to just melee than that nuking, since bss are expensive indeed. On SE on the other hand... nukes just hit pretty hard and are a great aid in pve. Specially if you can manage to put element in your weapon.
Honestly, I have ALWAYS leveled up using combination between magic and melee and have managed to kill fast and effective. Where are you leveling btw? For the cost of the bss, you should be a B grader if I'm not mistaken... You will notice nukes power when you reach the level to hit VoS ^^

he's talking about a top D weapon taking 3 ss/sps so his 150a is actually 50a and his 30a is 10a
just use the nuke to pull or just melee, when you truely become a soulbreaker, your magic will increase greatly in power and speed.
One place I've found for magic to be really handy is the top of BS fighting overlords. They have a nasty dagger/rapier resistance and have two really powerful burst damage skills, especially when they crit. The good news is they have a magic weakness that allows you to usually 2 shot them with nukes or almost a guarentee Death Mark land for Checkmate, which despite the rapier resistance, hits them for a lot. For general hunting, magic is usually used to pull mobs. In FoG groups if we've got an overlord with us and his roots land fairly consistently, using Dark Flame becomes viable, you still have to watch which way you aim it to fear those not rooted into the corner. Like most SB skills, it depends on the situation on whether you wanna use nukes or not. Soul Strike at 76 is nice and is really cheap mp wise, the cooldown on it is rather lengthy, but it's a nice bit of extra burst damage.
