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.

Army Magician

Pros:

  • Extremely high raw damage output. (4th highest in game at 155% damage dealt)
  • Excellent DoT damage
  • High, Specialized Affinities
  • Strong Skills
  • Potent AoE


Cons:

  • Poor HP
  • Poor access to armor
  • Low defenses
  • Low accuracy
  • Has no natural healing mechanism


Recommended Secondary Souls:

Avoid:

  • Cover souls (Fighter, Crusader)
  • Fire souls (Lightning caller!!)


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!!

Recommended Dedications

Optimal:

  • Sphinx (Damagebuff + Technical on the Answer)
  • Phoenix (Healing + free Revive)
  • Elementalist (Tank pet or Healing pet)

Ok:

  • Elemental Dragon (Some resists)
  • Siren (AoEguard in party to take less damage)
  • Cerebrus (DoT attack + some resists)

Avoid:

  • Kraken (AoEmod capped at +1 target. -damagebuff hurtful)
  • Kirin (Cover)
