Soul Maker Recommended Skill Builds

There are two builds that I recommend on using once you have decided to become a Soul Maker. These are the Full Support and Hybrid Build. No DPS? Yes no DPS build. For now, I don't think that DPS build will not benefit that much when becoming a Soul Maker. Most of Soul Maker build focuses on healing and support. Yes! they are more like priest!

However, that doesn't mean that they can't inflict good damage to the enemy. They still can do! But, if you do max out those skills that will inflict good damage, you will then sacrificing some of the healing and supporting capabilities of this class. So that is why it is better to go Hybrid if you're thinking of rolling a DPS Soul Maker IMO...

For now, I am currently using this build on my two Soul Maker.

Full Support Build

1st Variation: (Max SoulLink:Devotion Build)


In this variation, you will see that we prioritize those support and healing skills over the damager skills. The highlight on this build is the SoulLink: Devotion skill. What we aim to do here is to support the tanker while healing the party in times when we most need our healing skills (when the healer falls).

If you are planning to roll in a build like this, I suggest that you GET CARDS which has large amount of VIT on it or large amount of VIT on set bonuses. We need as much VIT for this build so that we can survive from the damage absorption we receive to save our TANK. But of course, try also to get as much INT and AGI. Remember that INT will help our healing skills do more heals and AGI will be crucial on the two SoulLink skills before SoulLink: Devotion.

2nd Variation: (NO SoulLink: Devotion Build)


In this variation of the Support build, we didn't take the SoulLink:Devotion skill. We focus on healing most of the time while dealing damage to the enemy. Instead of SoulLink:Devotion, we will try to max out SoulLink: Revive to increase the heal effect.

I really prefer this build when you are going full support. Why? It's because you can focus more on increasing your INT which basically increases your magic attack and your healing. In fact, I think this is a much safer way to be a support Soul Maker as you don't need to absorb additional damage and just focus on supporting your raid members.

Hybrid Build

1st Variation (Damage-oriented Build)


This build is pretty straight-forward... We will max those skills that will do good damage to the enemy namely: Mental Breakdown, Death Spell, Sacrifice and Immunity. And then, we will pair them with those skills which are basically for survivability namely: Awake: Soulmate, Restore, Restoration, Cure and SoulLink: Revive.

2nd Variation (Heal-Oriented Build)


In this build, we just reverse what we did on the 1st Variation (Damage-oriented Build). We first prioritize the healing skills and then we pair it with those skills that can deal decent damage to targets.

Soul Maker Suggested Stat Distribution

The first thing we need to know is the different stats of Soul Maker. For every:

1 STR= No effect
1 AGI= 4 CRIT, 2 DODGE
1 INT= 2 MAGIC POWER, 2 PARRY
1 WIS= 10 SP
1 VIT= 6 HP

Basically, we need to concentrate on AGI and INT.

The question now is, what stat will I prioritize: INT or AGI?
Well, it really depends on your personal perspective: what build do you want and how much is your gold in stack. Why did I say this? Let's just take for example being a Full Support Build. If you are going as a Support, you definitely need a lot of AGI for CRITS to receive the most benefit from the SoulLink skills of a Soul Maker.Remember that you need to Crit a lot to make all that buffs work like a charm. In my personal point of view, you need to distribute 60% of your points to AGI and the rest is to INT.

The second issue here is how much money are you willing to spend to make your Soul Maker IMBA. We all know that there are cards and as well as gears that could boost a lot of both our AGI and INT. Some of them are really rare that you need to spend million of golds to buy a piece or two. But, if you do have the gold, then you will have no problem at all. I suggest that in this case, you give priority to INT as if you have a great set with AGI bonuses, you will definitely have no problem landing critical hits.

How about WIS and VIT? 
Investing points on these two stat will definitely be a waste. It doesn't give that much of a benefit to your character when you do invest points on both or either WISDOM and VITALITY. Instead of wasting your points, just focus on the two mentioned stats above. Just leave the gears and cards (sets) to do the increasing of your WISDOM and VITALITY stats.
