Well, the weaker the class the more powerful the gear they would need.

I've used Esma bolter and now currently do a Battle Linker just for the heck of it.

 

As far as gear the RWC items from the Kafra shop are really good. The RWC Memory Knife is a great weapon for the class.

It provides a good amount of MATK when combined with the RWC pin and pendant (Spell enchant-able) but it really needs to be +9 or higher. You can also do another pendant or add in the ring for ATK (your call).

 

Check the wiki here for the specific build you are looking for: http://irowiki.org/wiki/Soul_Linker

 

Just know the Esma bolter will use quite a few skill points on other areas to gain the skill. Plus it has 10 levels so there will be less points for KA (self support) skills such as Kaahi, Kaizel and etc. Be sure to get Kaina though. Any spirit skills will have to be decisively selected based on who you support.

 

The good news is the Mesmerist in the center of Prontera does free skill point resets for as long as you need them.

The class can't go above base level 99 so you can keep resetting your skills until you find that sweet spot. You have to reduce your weight to zero though for the reset. Be sure to let them know the stat points are not an unlimited reset.

 

GEAR...

Headgear- go for MATK headgears and cards if you want damage. Vanaguard or Rideward Hat for leeching since you will really need it. Esma is 80 SP I think for level 10. This does not count the Eswoo and such you have to cast prior to doing Esma. You will burn through SP. Incubus pets help with SP leeching too.

Body- a SL can wear any elemental armor you need. They can also wear one of the WoE gears as well if you go to WoE Training Edition. There are also cards for the armor which add to your MATK. 

Shield- Valkyrja shield with appropriate card for the situation.

Garment- FAW with Spell enchants. You can go with Raydric or Deviling cards for protection. There's a MATK enhancer card (forget the name) that gives +5 MATK for every 10 INT.

Footgear- here you can go E. Variants with more HP/SP or you can card with with SP recovery cards.

Accessories- RWC pendants like I said are good with the knife. If you want more resistance go for a Glorious ring or try to snag a KBC while they are in the Groove Boxes (people will hate me for saying that).  Scaraba cards add +20 MATK which isn't much at all but it's your call. The KBC would be better due to low HP pool on SLs. 

 

Damage...

I know you can get into the 20K-30K range per set of Esma bolts. Anything higher and I do not know. Just let your friend know that if they are really hardcore on getting top tier gear for a lower class it will cost into the billions worth of zeny. With that said, the class is versatile even if on the weaker side.

You'll be using spells from a distance so you don't have to get up close and personal. Otherwise, party with a tank.

 

Overall, the class can be fun to party with and is a sought after by classes who need it.

 

Hope this helps.

This is more than Helpful! Thank you for the great little guide there it's great and has i tough the 20/30K dmg looks really sweet we were Hardcore in the past but i think that lvl 100-130 should be our limit these days so the linker will actually be a heck of a huge help if he does manage to get the right equipments. :)

I am pretty sure that is it. They'll correct if not. The 20% increase on wind and ghost is good if you find yourself attacking those kinds of monsters. I did not mention Mild Wind since it's a first class skill and it's essential any TK char get it. Both good points from Ash.
