My battlemage is still level 31, been leveling my Soulbender with a friend, currently at 27.

Soulbender has been much more fun than I thought it would, which is nice. Ghost slash hits like a train, comes out super fast, and has deceptively nice y-axis range, and I get about +50% damage from either Bremen or Kazan on it (and its a nice finisher to my short combos).

Looking forward to getting Saya and Ghost Step at 30.

I have a bunch of characters, I quit my asura because they use too much mana to do damage, but then the mana pots came out, so I may play it again.

yeah, and sky tower parties are way worse than before I found out, since most people good are 30+.

I don't think you'll have the SP to max both moonlight and ghost slash, at least not for a long while (and certainly not before the cap is raised to 60). You need to get both to level 5 at some point (ghost slash for drive, you need 5 in drive for Kalla; moonlight slash for full moonlight which makes it not suck).

I'd get wheel wave slasher 1 so you have a grab skill, and it does magic damage anyway. I think some people would get it to 5 for the cancel, up to you.

Keiga is absolutely must max. I hear Tombstone is pretty good, and I'm pretty sure you want to max Ghost Step. I think you'd want to max either katana mastery or short sword mastery too, depending on which weapon you use (+20% damage on everything and +hit rate? yes please).

How much you put into the ghosts seems to be choice. Putting more points into the ghosts can mean up to triple damage or something if you're standing in Kazan/opponent is in Bremen, but it means fewer points in other stuff like ghost slash/drive or moonlight slash. If you get Rhasa, you want to max it, or you can ignore it completely; I've heard both ways. Some people max ghost slash, some people don't.

while i dont have a specific build. I know that you absolutely max the buff that shoots out black flames. 5 for ghost slash + 1 ghost slash drive sounds about right. This move isnt used very much later on really. Moonlightslash is the bread and butter combo starter for soul bender. Get teh cancel but might wana hold off on taking it higher until your sure its worth it. Also, ghost step is like amazingly good, but i duno what the benefits of maxing it is. If benefits scale well max it. The grab move while ghost stepped sould probably be maxed cus thats like one of the most imba grabs ever. I hear keiga is important to max too. tombstone does amazing damage. Probably max.

brennan saya and that poison guy, they can be useful when stacked on top of each other.

oh from other trees, get 1 in wheel, 1 in triple slash. 1 in ash fork. max katana mastery. Use albert's quest to get the projectile sonic boom attack.

No clue if the stuff here is right, but worth a look maybe?

You need 5 ghost slash drive for Kalla, which is the ghost that lets you shoot fireballs.

edit: Also the benefits for maxing ghost step are +move speed and +invince time. At level 1 it actually looks pretty mediocre just from the stats; maxed out it looks amazing.

Would it be a problem if I already have 11 points into ghost slash?

Well if you're not maxing Rhasa, whale summon is 85 sp (rhasa 1 plus the awakening itself) for something that is apparently completely unusable in pvp.
