I have a Dawn Warrior and I'm wondering whether or not I should max Soul Blade. I heard it's pretty good but will I be using it a lot? I'm not sure whether I'll be using Power Strike or Soul Blade more. If I do max Soul Blade though, then I can't max Dagger Booster. Any suggestions?

I believe Soul Blades your mob skill and it takes over Slash Blast

Soul blade is your most used mob attack in 2nd job. Don't max FA if you want maxed booster. Power strike is a 1v1, while soul blade is a mob attack.

Soul Blade is 180 180 180 180 180. so 900% damage total, but it has range too so it takes over slash blast. slash blast is 130 130 130 130 130 130. this is 780% damage in total and the range is shorter then Soul Blade. Its clear which is better. Also. Leave booster at level 11 thats when its +2 speed. Leave rage at level 19 and mastery at 19 too. Max soul rush/blade. Put points into Final Attack if you want, but i think putting it into sprite is better.

Max Soul Blade and drop FA. You won't be using finishers in 3rd job, so FA isn't needed to charge orbs faster.

Soul Blade hits 5 at max and isn't Holy elemental without Soul Charge (so it's *900%).

Just leave booster at 11, and soul blade is a really good skill, takes over SB anyday. Don't listen to EternalSader, he has no idea what is he saying.

Wrong, Soul Blade is 180% damage, and hits 5 monsters, and not to mention that it is ranged and does not have an element. Honestly, don't post unless you know what you are talking about. Wrong information will mislead readers. Anyways, not maxing Soul Blade is probably on the same line of stupidity as not maxing MaxHP Enhancement.
