Why is soul Taker so outrageously expensive??

I've just showed you for virtually every attack skill in this game, there's a better and cheaper alternative to ST that also addresses the mana issue. I also asked you to provide builds that you claim to benefit from ST. You haven't given one.

You link me overpowered 1000% legacy facebreakers which is consider one of the best builds in the game.

Considered by whom? but that's not really relevant. You dont need a 30 ex 1000% facebreaker for FB to beat ST. a 5, 6 ex 970% pair will whoop legacy ST anytime.

I can literally back the claim that rares of the same value of 6 link quillrain can outdps almost every single build using quillrin that is not explosive arrow or cast on crit. Unless your going to disagree with me.

I don't care about quillrain or CoC. Derail the topic at hand because you can't provide proof is a sign of weakness.

If you're looking for a deal, do your homework and make a decent offer. If I have to set a b/o via request, it will be non-negotiable.
You can use Dominating Blow in a BoR if you have Soul Taker, meaning it would be extremely powerful for a solo nemesis player like me. It would be the ideal end result of my current build.

50% less damage is not moderate by any mean. And 50% is already an understatement. I'd say about 1/3 of a mirrored rare weapon. And that's the damage of a 350 dps legacy ST. Try it when you have the money.


Wait, so you are claiming that you can get 3 times the DPS from a rare one hander. Please show me a 900 dps one hander. I haven't seen one.

And them you are contantly comparing mirror items (which cost roughly 150 exalts to get a copy) to a weapon that cost 50 exalts.

So you mean to tell me if I spend triple the price I can get more dps?!




lol this guy.

And that's the damage of a 350 dps legacy ST. Try it when you have the money.
Did I mis-type or are you blind? Did I not say I'm comparing a legacy ST to a mirrored rare?
And I'm not even talking about the weapon DPS. I'm talking about the final tooltip DPS.

No, hes comparing mirror items to legacy which costs 120 ex +. Mirrored 1H is worth the same as a legacy ST, and has 1.6 x the damage.

Not sure what is more to debate than seeing from experience.

I've sold my legacy ST and added more $$$ so I could mirror 1-hander.

Mana problems are fairly easy avoided if you know what you're doing, people usually don't have a clue how to sustain mana so they go for ST and their worries are gone.

Because one doesn't know how to sustain mana he gets his DPS halved.


But hey, if they're fine with it, it's fine with me

1. Give me a better and cheaper alternative for cyclone and dominating blow builds that uses weapons. Please don't tell me that it's cheaper for other skills in the game, I literally stated the item was not made for a dps boost for every single build in the game.

2. Face-breakers is bar none the most cost effective end game item in the existence of the game, please link me another build enabling item that is cheaper then that.

3. How is that derail the topic, I am literally using your logic. X item isn't good for a rare because it doesn't apply to the game in general? Link me a better item for explosive arrow or cast on crit builds for bows. Just because I can do more damage with lighting arrow or split arrow with another rare has nothing to do with why the current item is valued.

So you're basically telling me that the good example I just gave you doesn't mean anything because.... I don't know what you just used as you defense, but from what I understand, you want to "use a weapon". Oh, right, because facebreaker is not an item made for attacking. It's just there for the lulz, you can't really use cyclone or dominating blow with it.
I'm not gonna link you "another build". 1 is enough to wash away all your BS, bro. We're not gonna "scratch that, lets play again". This is not kindergarten.
Nope, don't care about quillrain, don't care about CoC. Talk about ST or get out.

This topic is derailing from my original post. It was meant to talk about why non-legacy is so expensive.

Before the nerf, legacy ST was going for 35 ex. Some how the new ST (which is much much worse) is 60+ exalts. This really doesn't make sense. Must be some psychological stigma: "I have a soul taker. Its so glowy and and and... GLOWY!"

Your not even talking about ST, we are talking ST vs equal weapons and you link me a build enabling glove?

If your going to refuse to see the flaw in your logic then go ahead we have nothing to discuss.

I can literally say legacy facebreaker beats out most rares in the game too of the same value in dps? Ignoring the fact that you buy ST for the no mana, being able to run extra aura, not needed blood magic or extra nodes on your passive tree for mana.

Unless you have a value for that then alright, stick with your mirrored items in standard that price is capped because mirrors exist.

When you have 130 ex for a piece of gear you should want crit. Or you are a sheep
To be fair, ST does make cyclone viable. BUT, a legacy facebreaker with bm linked does just as much damage as a 6l ST and both can have all mana reserved. Think about it. Now that reduced duration is out, you can use lightning warp with FB just like you could use leap slam with ST


Honestly lightning warp with reduced duration is not nearly as fast as leap slam unless you 20/20 them, vs level 1 for leap slam.

There is a big difference here between playing in standard and playing in the new leagues. In standard there is all sorts of mirrorable items as well as mirrors. In new leagues, that stuff mostly doesn't exist, the one that does had a 70 ex mirror fee attached to it. Very few people who dont play 16 hours a day and multibox can make that sort of currency in a fresh league. Not to mention there are no legacy facebreakers in a new league and 800 is *perfect* roll.

So, people paying 40ex for soultaker in a new league, makes perfect sense. People paying 40ex for a new soultaker in standard, gtfo.
