Slayer - Demon Possessed Swordsman

Slayers are the swordsman of the game. The slayers right arm is possessed by the demon Kazan so the slayer uses his left hand to wield Short Swords, Katanas, Bludgeons, massive Great Swords, or Lightsabers. Only slayers who become Blade Masters at level 18 can use lightsabers. The moves that will make life easy as a Slayer are Triple Slash (big damage and mobility), Summon Kazan (big strength boost for party in an area), and Gore Slash (causes bleed status, strikes 3 times).

At level 18 Slayers can become:

Blade Master - This slayer is the only one that can use light sabers, they attack very quickly and with more small blows. Blade Master gameplay really changes a lot depending on the weapon you choose to specialize in, mastering a class of weapon offers unique bonuses to skills. For example light saber and katana masters turn Triple Slash into Quintuple Slash at level 5 weapon Mastery.

Berserker - Berserkers thrive on causing the Bleed status effect to enemies, causing them to continuously lose health. They get big Area of Effect attacks like Blood Pillar and Blood Funnel. Some of their skills cost health instead of mana to use, and they get stronger when they are under 40% health. They usually use Great Swords to maximize damage.

Asura - These Slayers use strong magical attacks based on "wave energy" some attacks use one of the four elements, but most are neutral magic. Asuras have very strong area of effect damage skills and one of the most used is Frost Wave. Frost wave hits an area in front of the Asura and has a high chance of freezing the monster in place, it's great. Asura's usually use Shortswords, but some use Katanas.

Soulbender - These Slayers are also magical attackers, but they summon ghosts and demons from hell to empower allies and weaken enemies, usually in an area of effect. They get a couple of decent direct magical attacks but the ghosts are really what make this class, the buffs and debufs they apply are very strong and can turn a struggling party into a bulldozer.

That's all for Slayers, most slayer classes are highly dependant on the weapon they use, even asuras depend on a strong magic attack weapon to boos their skills. Slayers are decent all the way through the game from beginning to end, and i mean come on, who doesn't want to wield a light saber?

P.S. Blade Master is the first class I got to the current level cap of 40, his name is BenKinobi, if you're on some time gimme a whisper and we'll team up. =D
