The Soul Vulcan Strike build has a very fluid progression that will allow the user to be strong throughout all parts of the game. Among the Arch Mage skills, Soul Vulcan Strike has the shortest Fixed Cast Time at 1s. Along with its short cooldown, high damage, and 11 x 11 AoE, Soul Vulcan Strike is a very effective ability for leveling and farming. Additionally, with the Warlock Telekenesis Intense skill providing a 3x damage buff for ghost damage, the Soul Vulcan Strike scales very well into the late game allowing you to MVP even the toughest MVPs.

However, due to the nature of Dim Glacier Weapons providing large damage bonuses to specific abilities and the strength of specific elemental MVP cards, you will be mostly gated to having Soul Vulcan Strike as your main magic damage ability. As such, you will be weaker against [https://muhro.eu/flux/?module=monster&action=index&name=&mvp=yes&size=-1&race=-1&element=Neutral&p=1 Neutral], [https://muhro.eu/flux/?module=monster&action=index&name=&mvp=yes&size=-1&race=-1&element=Holy Holy], [https://muhro.eu/flux/?module=monster&action=index&name=&mvp=yes&size=-1&race=-1&element=Poison Poison], and [https://muhro.eu/flux/?module=monster&action=index&name=&mvp=yes&size=-1&race=-1&element=Dark&p=1 Shadow] Elemental MvPs and mobs (The main one to note here is Betelgeuse). Even so, you will still be a highly effective MVPer!

For other classes and builds, the gear progression and concepts should be fairly similar other than a change in weapon and gear.

Note: The Bug Fix as part of Patch #79 reduced the SPL scaling from 15 to 3. As a result, the SVS build continues to be strong, but other AM builds are viable as well!
