Second tier
Soul Linker
While the Star Gladiator begins the process of distancing themselves from their roots in Taekwon Do, the Soul Linker wastes no time, abandoning them immediately and without hesitation.
Much like in vanilla, Soul Linkers are a class that operates by calling the souls of the dead back to the world of the living to push characters beyond the limits of their class. Unlike vanilla however, where the Soul Linker could provide these powerful buffs to anyone but themselves, Soul Linkers here can only provide those buffs to themselves.
The Soul Linker skill tree is divided into two halves based on which Soul Link they choose to associate themselves with. Vicious Possession grants the Soul Linker powerful physical buffs, turning ordinarily magical stats like Int and Dex into powerful Crit and Crit Damage buffs, while unlocking skills to do physical damage, block physical attacks, and restore SP to allies (including themselves). In contrast, Arcane Possession does the opposite, converting Strength and Vitality into Cast Time Reduction and SP Regeneration, unlocking powerful magical attacks, a strong healing skill usable on both allies and themselves, and a skill to reflect any magic damage received.
Fledgling Soul Linkers may find themselves a bit perplexed at their skill tree, however. Though they gain access to rather powerful abilities very quickly, all Soul Linker skills come with heavy cooldowns that make leveling alone quite challenging. The gap left by these long cooldowns are filled by the unique weapon available to Soul Linkers: Souls.
Souls are weapons that give varied amounts of Attack and Magic Attack, but most importantly, they provide access to a number of skills from other classes. For example, a Soul Linker might equip a Knight Soul to gain access to the Knight skills Rend, Pierce, and Brandish Spear. Or they might prefer going a magical route, equipping a Wizard Soul to gain access to Storm Gust, Force Pulse, and Rapid Incantation. Keen eyed adventurers might even come across more unique Souls, granting access to skills only available to monsters , and sometimes not available at all, except for by those Souls.
The huge array of available skills and the ability to equip up to three of them at a time grants Soul Linkers an unprecedented level of flexibility, giving them the tools to take on any situation another class might handle.
Soul Linkers gain access to the following skills.
