Every soul is a good soul. But some are better than others at doing their job. This is an attempt at systematically classifying every combat soul, and contains some tips for proper optimization. Some general Do's and Don'ts for optimization:
- DO take complementary secondary souls. For instance A 'squishy' (low HP, low defense) soul can benefit from a secondary soul that lets it use better armor, or offers some medicine proficiency to let you heal.
- DON'T overlap proficiencies when you dual-soul. Since you get half the ability of the secondary soul at a given level, redundant proficiencies are wasted.

Army Magician
Building souls for Army Magician is very simple: avoid high fire/air magic overlaps and focus on shoring up the extreme weaknesses of this DPS centric soul. Cover makes you take damage for allies--avoid it!

Fighter
The name 'fighter' is a bit of a misnomer, as this soul excels at providing defense and cover more than inflicting damage. Make sure to add damageresist to better soak up enemy damage.

Golem Crafter
The Golem Crafter has two flavors: offensive and defensive. When you get the Golem Crafter soul, you will have to complete the 'A Golem Maker Introduction' webmission to gain access to the Basic Offensive and Defensive Golems.
At Level 30 GC, you can do the 'Advanced Golem Models' mission to gain an Advanced golem, but you can only choose ONE advanced model and will never be able to have the other type.

= Best for builds running support and elementals, though the energy cost is heavy it can proc off of elementals.
= Let's be honest, this ded is nuts on anything with a HP bar.
= Cover or healing minion. If you already have an elemental, Fire -> go with healing, Water -> go with cover is a safe bet. 'Free' minions are insane. |
= You do not want to cover for everyone. That will get you killed. |

Windrunner
Windrunner is a very specialized class. As a light weapons class, it never runs into cooldown issues. As of such, avoid picking classes that have many active skills to deal damage as they will not fit into a strong light weapons rotation. It has a niche role providing defense debuffs with guided longbow and hand crossbow that no other class can provide.
