Overview

Soul Reapers acquired great knowledge and energy from the dead.

It was a soul linker with a lot of support system skills to strengthen the fellow, but it came to be able to manipulate the soul further by becoming a soul reaper, and it got a powerful attack means. When combined with the Taekwon skill Mild Wind, you can respond to opponents of all attributes.

Builds

Note: Equips whose image show up broken (<some-id>.png), are not released in iRO yet and should be released in upcoming patches.

Curse Explosion Build

• This build is fast to get started with as compared to other possible builds and works best with almost any magical gears.
• The actual Soul Reaper items are also not as expensive.
• Restricted to Shadow Element.
• As this skill does Shadow Element damage, it works against all other elements except Shadow and Undead elements.

Skill

Stats

Stat	Amount	Notes
STR	1+	Depends on you, you only need STR for Weight Limit
AGI	50 - 100	You want to reach 193 ASPD
VIT	70 - 80	Depends, again, on you - you want at least 100 with bonus, for stun immunity
INT	120 ~ 130	Now we are talking, this is the MAIN stat of SR, increasing this will increase your damage you want at least 120 but dont spend too much, 120 to 130 is very expensive
DEX	120	120, nothing more to see here
LUK	70 - 80	This for my part is a filler, if i have points to give after stating every other stat, I put them in Luk, because a bit Perfect Dodge and extra Matk does not hurt

Eshwoo Build

• This build requires some investment in terms of skill points to be fully viable and hence I'd recommend switching to it after some initial leveling as a Soul Reaper.
• Recommended to switch after Job Lvl 39.
• Item wise it stays same as Curse Explosion.
• Difference to Curse Explosion would be -
  • Slower to dish out comparitively, since it requires you to execute Espa >> Eshwoo.
  • Has a higher damage ceiling than Curse Explosion.
  • Changes element based on Mild Wind.
