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.
  • The bonus physical damage gained from sacrificed HP is boosted/penalized by Damage Type.
  • For Weapon Skills: The bonus physical damage gained from sacrificed HP is boosted by the Weapon Skill Damage stat, but not PDIF or FTP.
• 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.
