Most useless skill ever

Post by Wyrmspawn »

I've been looking at the high level skills for some time now, and I'm beginning to get convinced that they're all useless, except for perhaps rejuvenation. So I decided it would be nice to have a second opinion.

when you meet the prequisities you can pick some nice looking critical skills, but you will not see benefits because any monster are toast after crit hit.

I don't die, that's why I went with failure mastery. Dodge / hard hit / Weapon Accuracy are weak, but not useless at all. Merchant and treasure hunter are about money which I have enough of.

I actually really like dodge\weapon accuracy, believe it or not.... a level up in dodge is like 3 levels of normal leveling, WA is like 2 and a half levels, and hard hit is just really bad. They need to scale that better to make it worth taking on its lonesome.... I much rather gain a level then to spend 1 skill point on 1 point of damage.

Out of all those skills (WA, HH, Dodge), dodge is by far the best. Getting a good amount of BC built up can take a lot of time. (But i still do not use them)

Well, the reason I added dodge, weapon accuracy, and hard hit into the mix is because I don't really use skills for them unless I want a high level skill. And, seeing that high level skills are more often useless than not, I don't really see a reason to use them, I guess... My builds seldom reach level 40 before I finish the game off and start a new build all over again. So, I guess all the skill points I get are put into stuff that you can't get through level-ups.
