Overview
Soul Linkers give up the ways of the TaeKwon Do in order to develop and refine their spiritual powers. Calling upon the power of the ancestors, they can use various Spirit Link skills to enhance the ability of other players as well as use fancy looking offensive and defensive magic.
Soul Linkers, despite their base being a melee class, are magic casters. Compared to Wizards and Sages, their spells are severly limited on what they can be used on, however, thanks to Mild Wind they can use Holy, Ghost, and Shadow magic attacks, something that Wizards & Sages don't have. Depending on their skill build they must sacrifice something in one aspect or the other of the game, limiting them to only two choices out of PvM, PvP and WoE options.
They have relatively low HP, but better SP than average. Despite the high SP pool, their spells cost a lot of SP, so INT is often a high priority. On the other hand, many skills do not have extensive cast times (usually at higher levels), resulting in a lower need of DEX compared to other magic-using classes. With some VIT and their defensive magic, coupled with TaeKwon Kid's Tumbling, they can be quite good tankers.
Jobchange Guide
- Find the tavern at 10 o'clock in Morroc (morocc 55,259).
- Speak with the "Kid" inside the tavern. She will ask you to bring her some items:
- After you give her the items, she tell you the end of her story. Then, speak with her again, and she will guide the player into their own mind. Speak with each of the NPCs (Monk Spirit, Alchemist Spirit, and Sage Spirit).
- Then, speak with the Kid again.
- The player will be promoted to Soul Linker after embracing the requests of the spirits.
Builds
PvM Battle
MvP / PvM Esma Dex Bolter
This build is obvious for linker to deal the highest damage using Esma combing with Mild Wind within the shortest time. As shown, this setting allows the linker to be the primary damage dealer within the party. Due to this reason no Agi and Vit are needed as they would not tank anything but only standing behind the tanker quickly casting Esma over and over to help get things going. For the 9 Str is merely for increasing weight purpose to carry whatever items is needed to be carried with you.
Because this build will pushes Esma casting time to the shortest, thus the sp consumption would be relatively large in time wise. To overcome this shortage it is the best to have the skill Kaina to increase maximum sp and cut Es-type skill cost with also having a priest to cast Magnificat within the party, or using sp related equipments (Ex. Morpheus's Shawl), cards (Ex. Sohee Card) and potions (Ex. Blue Potion) to endure longer from prolong casting.
PvM Esma Vit Bolter
Mainly the same as the Dex Bolter type, but they can tank big monsters with heavy skills and completely heal with normal hits after. They don't need high Dex, because Esma Base-casttime is pretty low anyways.
PvM Esma Hybrid Bolter
This is a mix of Dex Bolter and Vit Bolter combining fast casting and tanking middle level skills.
PvM Esma Agi Bolter
This build is an extraordinary one. They level - like the other bolters - with Esma only. But instead of getting hit and automatically get healed by Kaahi, they dodge 95% of normal attacks and don't "waste" SP. They got both disadvantages of Vit- and Dex Bolter (slow cast, low HP), but - depends on your level spot - got alot less problems with SP regeneration.
Agi Bolters usually skill Kaupe, because they can dodge the 5% hit (non-dodge), too.
WoE Support
This build focuses on WoE with Ka and Spirit Link Skills. They get only a few to none Es skills, as those are usable in PvM only. Their most important spells are Kaite, Kaupe for support and Bard and Dancer Spirits and Soul Linker Spirit for buffs. The rest are chosen from the remaining Ka spells and arguably some of the spirit buffs that include Assassin Spirit, Rogue Spirit and Wizard Spirit. Their leveling methods are either leeching or supporting parties with Kaupe, Eska/Eske and the Spirit Skills.
WoE Support (Vit Type)
(Stats including Bonus)
This build is just like the normal WoE Support Soul Linker, but this one doesn't have to fear the battlefield. During field battle, this SL fights with Swordbreaker/Mailbreaker and Blast/Envenom Clip.
Equipment
Class Data
Skills
Once a TaeKwon Kid changes into a Soul Linker, kicking skills can no longer be used.
Es Skills
Es spells are offensive magic. This type can be cast only on monsters. Casting them on players causes the skill to fail and the caster to be stunned (even in PvP/WoE conditions).
Ka Skills
Ka spells are defensive magic. By default the caster can use this only on themself, their spouse or their child, or other Soul Linkers. Unless the user is linked with the Soul Linker Spirit, using these skills on anyone else causes them to fail and the caster to be stunned.
Spirit Link Skills
These skills imbue other characters with special abilities for a time depending on skill level. Each class has their own Spirit Link that can only be cast upon them.
- Transcendent second classes can utilize the Spirit Link of their original second class.
- Soul Linkers cannot use the Soul Linker Spirit on themselves; they must have another Soul Linker cast it on them.
