as i experienced in using the kamael, i noticed that the kamael's soul mastery works in a very different way than what the people here told me before...

most of the people here told that it consumes/takes away some exp when the char absorbs soul...
but it was not like this...

i confirmed that the exp requirement for soul absorption is not as what others say...
this means that the exp gained will not have any reduction due to the skill...
the exp requirement that is stated in its description, for example is 100exp...
this means that if the monster killed gives exp amounting to below 100, you will not get/absorb any soul...
meaning, you have to kill mobs that gives equal to or more than 100exp to absorb a soul...

These kamael servers aren't precise. We can only know if somebody here plays offie.
But what you said is the main condition of the passive. You don't get souls on low lvl mobs.

well ncsoft INTENTIONALY did it to avoid overpowerment

@icarus sorry for not mentioning, but i am playing on a retail, offie server...
so i think that my tests are accurate...

He is right. NCsoft didnt want the high lvl kamaels to go at lvl1 mobs and collect their souls for fun. So they said -e.x.- 68lvl kamael you need to kill a mob that you gain 3k exp or more to obtain his soul. Usualy to obtain a soul you must hunt white or at least green mobs (x1 HP) to obtain their soul.

FROM SOUL GATHERING YOU DO NOT LOSE EXP

This is confirmed 100%

Perfect. Now we know exactly what's the point of that description.
I agree with Sekkurel.
