Skills tree/template?
 

First off I'm new to the game and up to lvl 10 now and looking for ideas on what skills to get and avoid. Hopefully not too much damage has already been done.

I've searched the site and haven't found a good thread yet.

thanks for any links to info!

Try and keep it balanced, always use Passive skills when you can, they help a lot...If you level on a regular basis you will find it easy to master a weapon, I say at least try and understand what each skill does because come do enough damage with just one point spent on them...

It all depends on how you want to do your build. Are you looking for best bang for the buck or for future reps when trying to master everything?

Let me see if I can do a build-up for you.

I've seen a few of such templates for various weapons being shared in the Weapons section of the forums.
