    I'm still a novice at the class they not that old to say this skill should not level.
    Anyways i will give you my opinions on wat too lvl.

    Aqua imact Max it
    Spirit blast Max
    Black voodoo Max it
    White voodoo highly depends on you on whether u want that skill
    Soul of vengeance I personally think this skill is missing something-if its not don't max it
    Soul of silence do not max it
    Soul of stunning for the love of god don't max it
    Bubble of life i would max it well its up to you if you see this skill as essential
    Landslide do not hesitate MAX this baby
    Aqua cannon maybe someone could fill in this part
    Sand Trap Optional
    Diminished Vigor some say max some say dont you pick one
    Torrent Optional
    Glacial Shards Optional
    Empowered Vigor yes without a doubt max it
    Sand burst Blast Optional
    Disturb Soul Max
    Soul Burn a definite yes..max it
    Tide spirit This i'm not sure about if its like the soul buffs i haven't heard anything bad about them so max it
    Red Tide same for tide spirit
    Earth Vector same for tide spirit
    Psychic Will Max it
    Soul of retaliation Do not max
    Aqua spirit Max
    Earthen spirit Max
    Tide form do not max

    Info on skills
    Aqua impact your basic skill is a starter skill which does fairly good damage and slows the target(movement speed)

    Spirit Blast as someone said before this reminds me of a nuke going off

    Black voodoo raises your attack level at the cost of lowering your defense level. I personally think this skill is heaven

    White voodoo raises your defense level at the cost of SHARPLY reducing your attack level.

    Soul of vengeance Make the target reflect a Physical damage to the attacker.
    The damage is equal to 8% of the caster's Soulforce.
    Every successful reflection will reduce the damage taker's Mana
    by 0.8% of the caster's Soulforce.
    If the damage taker has insufficient Mana,
    no damage will be reflected, but the effect will remain until time expires.
    Lasts for 180 seconds.

    Soul of silence Make the target cause a Silence effect for - seconds
    to the attacker upon being hit.
    The caster's Soulforce determines the successful rate of Silence.
    Each successful Silence will cost mana of the damage taker.
    If the damage taker has insufficient Mana,
    no damage will be reflected, but the effect will remain until time expires.
    Lasts for 180 seconds.

    Soul of stunning Make the target cause a Silence effect for - seconds
    to the attacker upon being hit.
    The caster's Soulforce determines the successful rate of Silence.
    Each successful Silence will cost mana of the damage taker.
    If the damage taker has insufficient Mana,
    no damage will be reflected, but the effect will remain until time expires.
    Lasts for 180 seconds.

    Bubble of life heals all squad members in 5meters for short an aoe heal

    Landslide the mother of psychic nukes this baby is like a a nuclear warhead going of at your feet. Also has the effect to push back monsters some XX meters depending on skill level(which is only pve) its secondary effect is to interrupt channeling (which is both pve and pvp)

    Aqua cannon for me i don't like this skill because you have to go at close range for it to work and being squishy(thats if your pure) not a good thing to do

    Sand trap DOT basically even if you don't raise it it will be doing some tremendous damage

    Diminished Vigor Reduces the target's healing ability.
    Reduces the healing effect of skills by 11%
    Reduces the healing effect of potions by 16.5%
    Increases the cooldown time of Guardian Charms by 0.3 seconds
    Lasts 90 seconds.

    Torrent DOT sprays water at the foe

    Glacial shards AOE which has the effect of freezing the target for some xx seconds depending on skill level

    Empowered Vigor Increases the target's healing ability.
    Increases the healing effect of skills by 20%
    Increases the healing effect of potions by 30.0%
    Reduces the cooldown time of Guardian Charms by 3.0 seconds
    Lasts 90 seconds.

    Sandblast Burst reminds me of a barrage of rockets. its a very powerful aoe skill

    Disturb Soul im not sure if you cast on the foe or your self but it will disrupt the enemy channeling

    Soul burn is like acid armor so basically the more they hit you the more they get some serious burns if you know what i mean

    Tide spirit Increases your magic weapon damage by -% for 15 seconds.
    Also increases channeling speed after 6 seconds.
    This skill does not stack with the Rainbow Blessing genie skill.

    Red tide Deals base magic damage plus -%
    of weapon damage plus -
    Water damage to all targets within 8 meters.
    Has a -% chance to cause them to bleed
    for damage equals to your Soulforce over 9 seconds.

    Earth vector is cool and funny looking. Summons a big guy to smack you lol

    Psychic Will Removes any negative status from the target, and the target becomes immune to physical damage for 5.3 seconds.

    Soul of retaliation If you are afflicted with a negative status effect,
    the caster will also be afflicted with the same status.
    Reduces the damage you take by - of your Soulforce.
    Reflects damage on your attacker equal - of your Soulforce.
    This effect will reduces your mana by 100.
    The effect will end upon a successful damage reflection.
    Lasts for 30 seconds.

    Aqua spirit if maxed it will increase all water damage by 20%

    Earthen spirit if maxed it will increase all water damage by 20%

    Tide form Transform you into a mermaid/man plus raises your def ad swimming speed
    Psy builds
    Pure psy 9 mag 1 str every two levels

    Hybrid 7 mag 2 vit 1 str every two levels

    LA build if am not mistaken is 3 mag 1 str 1 dex every level



    Now pure build is the best build on the table right now because of TREMENDOUS damage output and we qualify for robes

    hybrid build is the weakest of the 3 but more survival rate cause every 1vit grants you 10 hp which to me its not worth it. I mean sacrifice my damage output for 10 hp points aint worth it. Qualifies for robes

    LA build is the second strongest and also be the strongest because you will be hitting critical alot more than pure or even hybrid BUT you will be doing less damage than a pure psy also you will qualify for light armor
    Its like when you look into the eyes of a cute kitten or puppy it silently steals your soul.

    But cmon THEY'RE CUTE!!! [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]


    Cute punchy kitty. Please don't punch me with your cuteness. >_<

    I play Archer (4 Dex 1 Str; Pure Build) and LA Mage (1D, 1S, 3 Mag).

    And I'm not gonna recommend LA build for a mag class, simply because it doesn't critical as much as you can depend on it.

    Ask any LA Mages around to ask them if their crit are dependable that they can rely on it to kill.

    Crit once in maybe 30-45 shots and frankly speaking, that's is not reliable

    ROFL PurpleBomber, you're actually telling him NOT to skill Soul of Stunning (which I find very useful) and Soul of Retaliation (come on man, a buff that absorbs and reflects the damage AND any possible negative effect someone can cast on you ? What's not to love ?)

    Red Tide and Earth Vector are not the same as Tide Spirit, they are very powerful AoEs with very strong effects (Tide Spirit by the way is like Sutra, so max it too..). Glacial Shards and Sandburst Blast are the same, only a bit less powerful. Maxing Landslide is a mistake to me too, takes up too much spirit that you could put into much stronger spells. It is nevertheless a needed skilled, so you should skill it until level 4-5.

    Regarding Diminished Vigor and Fortified Vigor, those are to max too.

    .

    He's saying don't max it.
    Infact, leave ALL of the soul skils at lvl 1.
    Because, if you've paid attention to your skil dicription, you'll see that lvling the soul skils does nothing but raise the mp cost

    It's a no brainer to get soul of stunning, it's the one skill along with Landslide that will save you when in a tight situation.
    Landslide definitely should be maxed for PVE; for pvp i find that it really doesnt do much dmge.

    It's abit like WotP from a wiz. Only no AoE, and it can cancel channeling to.

    So yes, it's worth it. It's the only skil you have that cancels channel, might aswel do some decent dmg with it while you're at it

    Do you know the difference of stunning and cancel channeling.....no i don't think you do.

    Landslide itself if it is maxed will be one of top 5 strongest skills until you get earth vector. When i use landslide in pvp or a duel one thing i notice with it with one shot BOOM i take down half of your life plus interrupt your all reliable nuke.

    Stun - as the word suggest it stuns you rendering you hopeless for some xx seconds

    Cancel Channeling - as the words suggest it interrupt/cancels channeling which means if they see the system notice that says "interrupted" then they won't think its a stun. Which I find funny

    Alot of people think its a programming error and others think its a waste to level them cause the skill does not change when you level it it reminds the same BUT increases mp usage and the in some cases the range

    FYI -->

    Soul of Retaliation is AMAZING!!!

    Example:

    IF an Archer attacks with Stun --> It stuns them not you
    IF an Archer's bow debuffs you --> It actually debuffs them

    b:dirty

    <--- Wants to try it with Nix bleed b:shocked....Could you imagine b:chuckle



    Soul of retaliation
    If you are afflicted with a negative status effect,
    the caster will also be afflicted with the same status.
    Reduces the damage you take by - of your Soulforce.
    Reflects damage on your attacker equal - of your Soulforce.
    This effect will reduces your mana by 100.
    The effect will end upon a successful damage reflection.
    Lasts for 30 seconds.

    The reason why i said not to max it is because it does not change whether on increases the skill level. Only thing about that changes is the mp usage. I myself find the soul skills VERY useful but whats the point of leveling it if the effect remains the same at each new level.

    SoR isn't that good in PvP since the other guy can see that you have it and use a weak 1st skill to cancel it.

    Another thing.. Earth vendor is weak... -.- +55% wep damage at level 1 so probably +100% at level 10... not a very strong skill only good for stunning.

    Btw, interrupting works on bosses, stuns don't.

    And yeah... never use soul of stunning against range mobs because they get a extra hit on you if you kill them when they're stunned
    Soul of retaliation
    If you are afflicted with a negative status effect,
    the caster will also be afflicted with the same status.
    Reduces the damage you take by 0.1 of your Soulforce.
    Reflects damage on your attacker equal 0.1 of your Soulforce.
    This effect will reduces your mana by 100.
    The effect will end upon a successful damage reflection.
    Lasts for 30 seconds.
    WEAK! lol


    1 more comment o.o

    max in this order for PvE til like 70-80? lol

    Black voodoo
    Spirit Blast
    LandSlide
    Aqua Impact
    Earthen Spirit
    Aqua Spirit (depends on how much you use aqua impact)
    Sand Burst Blast
    Earth Vector
    Glacial Shards

    Yes the water skills all kinda suck
    Everything else can be level 1 lol
    -Bubble of life is not needed that much unless you fight ranged mobs
    -Empowered vigor = not that important difference between lv.1 and lv.10 is 9% in for healing skill so it's not that important to max at early levels.
    [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] yay :) ^.^

    I think its a programming error, because otherwise it wouldnt be able to upgrade it after lvl 1... It only makes ppl (who didnt notice it yet) waste spirit... And Coins.
