Hello all,
It turns out I need some help with my skill/ability allocation in this game. You see, I have never been one to even glance at defense abilities in any game. For some reason they just aren't interesting to me, so I always try and maximize damage figuring that if the enemy is dead, I won't need defense. This usually leads to me having a much harder time with games than my friends who tend to pick more defensive abilities.
Well that just isn't working out in Avadon. I pumped points deep into all of my characters trees, getting their top tier abilities as quickly as I could. As far as skills, for my Blademaster main I filled him full of strength and Endurance without touching dex or int. My Shadow walker is the same, while my Sorcerer and Shaman are int and end. I have checked out a lot of the stickies and such, and I've realized that I need a lot more dex for my BM and SW for defense.
My question is: How should I allocate skill points? For instance on my Blademaster, should I do a rotation? 1 in Str, 1 in dex, 1 in end, then back to strength? I've found that I am having some serious problems pretty early on (as far as I know). Also, having just completed the Shadow Beast questline, should I just reroll and make a new game, or am I close enough to the respec trainer that I can tough it out until I get there? Thanks in advance.
