IMO not taking the only combo finisher you get (pre lvl 32) is foolish. If you skip it and do low lvl TFs/SFs you'll really be hurting your build. Might as well skip Staff Mastery.

Eye of the Storm adds a lot bonuses when used with Staff Mastery. For those that havn't figured out the bonuses... check this out.

That video was most likely made during beta and is therefore outdated (read: wrong) from the current version.

-Does Form of the Soul grant +regen and recovery when used with either Eye of the Storm or Sky Splitter? I was under the impression that buff is only attached to Sky Splitter.

-Precise Strike is only a single target attack, not a cone.

-Serpent's Reach is only a single target ranged attack, not any kind of AoE.

-Does Sky Splitter hit more than one target? I was under the impression it was a single target attack.

If Serpent's Reach was AoE (or at least the Knockback) and if Mind and Soul forms granted their buff tied to Sky Splitter with EotS too, I'd certainly wouldn't have anything to complain about. Personally, I don't want more damage from this set, just better, more reliable, *useful* utility. Currently, the forms are kind of just fluff to me...but you gave up Build up for that fluff! And BU isn't fluff.

Dude we have people here that would not take the healing aura on an EMP and "justify" it so you have to just ignore people that think it makes any sense to skip EOTS.


The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Soul Form only grants the regen/recov bonus on Sky Splitter. In general, Sky Splitters form bonus is a buff, EotS' bonus is a debuff. The bonuses are very minimal and if you're looking for endurance management you're better off keeping the Perfection stack on Soul Form and NOT using a finisher. Also, Sky Splitter is not AoE.

I like Staff but my biggest gripe is that the Perfection bonuses seem very lacking.

Is EotS the one where you spin on the ground? Cause if so that was my favorite ability in Soul Calibur 4 often people woudn't expect that online and just get demolished by it
