Notes

  • Consumes and converts 10% of your current HP directly into physical damage, adding it onto your normal melee hits.
    • For Sub Job Dark Knight, 10% of your current HP will be consumed but only 5% will be converted into damage.
  • Enhances accuracy by 25 while active.
  • Muted Soul gives -10 Enmity per merit rank to Souleater activation and for the duration.
  • Many Notorious Monsters have an innate resistance to Souleater now, notably Absolute Virtue.
  • Commonly combined with Blood Weapon and Haste buffs, so HP is not lost, and large amounts of damage can be dealt quickly.
    • Attacking something with Phalanx or Souleater resistance can rapidly deplete Dark Knight HP in these cases.
  • Wearing multiple 10->12% pieces will still only result in 12% converted, but Dweomer Scythe appears to stack.
