What you want is trickster/soul blade. Good defensive abilities and offensive tricks. Soul annihilation does around up to 300 damage after you get deathblows.

Omg guys stop it i don't want to go another Forbidden fist/Soul Blade run but i think i have to

Did you test Oathsbreakers End btw? It has scales of justice ability maybe that work too.

You should most definetely get community patch for riposte, it makes riposte %25 for miss and grazes, which proc very often.

What about food bonuses? In my current run mohora wraps stacking with might insparation, this is the first time i used this food is this normal?

This guy knows the game mechanics better than the developers at this point.

It's not a good spell but since you dont have much in level 3 slot you can use it. It's raw damage after all, you get 0 damage when your enemies has %100 health but when they drop below like %50 health you can see 30-40 damage per tick.

This is the perfect weapon for a Sorcerer imo.

I always thought Toxic strike was doing way more damage than description says, thats why huh.

Another way to infinite use for whisper of the wind ability is to using Voidwheel, every attack gives 1-2 wounds. But spamming same ability over and over gets really boring.

Beguiler/Blood mage seems like a good choice for evil run.

Wow didn't think of that nice find.

I think only the abilities directly boost weapons damage affect SA. For example i tested Barbarians Blooeded ability doesnt work because its universal. I am only speculating btw the game mechanics so weird.

I am almost %100 sure the abilities i list boosts SA damage, you can easily check creating level 19 rogue/soulblade vs something like level 19 priest/soulblade and see the damage difference.

Arguably best burst damage ability in the game, but after 20 full game run i am not sure what boost its damage or not. I want to make a full list of it for new build ideas. Also its helpful for new players who might read this topic. I'll add some things i tested, please write the things i miss. Ability effected by: - Power level - Might modifier - Weapons quality enchantment - Sneak attack, deathblow, streetfighter damage bonus when flanked or blooded, Soul whip, Human blooded damage bonus, Fighter weapon specialization - Sworn enemy, Inspired beacon, Take down combo Stalker's patience's ambushing ability doesnt seems like working sadly.

Sadly the last time i tried it wasn t working with aoe weapons.

Is anyone tested Streetfighters 'on the edge' crit bonus works with spells?

Forbidden Fist - SB combo so powerful, especially in harder fights when it matters. You can also go with biting whip(%20 raw lash with Community patch) watchers blade combo which i found better than Stalkers patiance.

I actually have a spellblade build you can find it useful. This is optimal for solo btw you dont have to go this much defensive.

Hi, just focus to stay below %50 percent health with blood sacriface and you're fine. Bonus recovery is huge, you dont wanna lose it.

I suggest you to try Soulblade at least one of your run. Soul annihilation + Disentigration destroys tough enemies. You can try Helwalker multiclass for +15 might and +10 int boost, but you need serious healing from a companion, you can go with paladin-chanter Pallegina.

Also disengage attacks has pretty huge accuracy bonus, you can get terrify with trickster.

I find helwalker/soul blade combo with Voidwheel very powerful. Weapon itself gives you crazy focus abd wounds every attack. If you have health draining via chanter draining chant or furyshapers draining totem you re basicly unkillable(as long as you keep damaging).

Single class barbarian very powerful indeed. If you think the best abilities comes very late, what you can do is starting with bounties and the quest doesnt involves fighting. You can get to level 15-16 very easily, and than you ll still have like 70-80 percent of gameplay left.
