Good guide Jibby. However I find parry to be quite useful. I have rank 5 parry and its about 10% chance to block... not a bad chance, plus with my musketeers sabre it can increase it to 13%. Its pretty handy if you ask me.

Totally agree with endurance. I have rank 5 endurance, and I have 3440 health, pretty sure thats the max.

Ill add a Staff guide i guess...

Blast: forget it, its the most useless skill ever, as a lv 1 who just got their sword can probably do more damage with that than a lv 30 can do with blast. Make it rank 1 or 2... its not really worth it...

Soul Flay: Maybe before you get your other skills its handy, but in the long run you wont use it much. Its worth a 1 or 2.

Pestilence: Can be quite handy because of its poison power, make it rank 2.

Wither: Now this is a good skill. Probably one of the most helpful skills to train with. I made mine rank 5, but until you are mastered, keep it at rank 3 or so, so you can still gain descent rep.

Flaming skull: King of the staff moves! When you move from training at KH to Tormenta Bridge, its a must. Not to mention that you can take out waves of Jolly's minions during invasions using this skill once or twice. Make it rank 5, but like wither, keep it around rank 3 until you are mastered, so you can still get good rep.

Banish: Meh, its OK, but there arent many good places to train on skeletons for staff, maybe a rank 2 is worth it after you mastered, and in pvp.

Desolation: I have mine at rank 2. I occasionally use it in battle, but not often. When I do use it it tends to be to show off. Its not very handy in battle considering it takes forever to charge and it can take away over half your health.

Passive Skills

Concentration: This one will increase voodoo recovery rate if Im correct. If you ask me, voodoo recharges fine, so dont bother with it. Keep it at rank 1.

Spirit Lore (Doing this from memory, thats what its called right?): This increases the charging speed of your attacks... I have a rank 2, because most people tend to train with wither and flaming skull, which charge fairly fast. Unless you use banish and desolation a lot, its not worth making it over rank 3.

Conservation: RANK 5! This skill makes it so you use less voodoo points with each doll and staff attack! Its needed for training staff, so you dont run out of voodoo surrounded by 4 angry brinescum. Make it rank 5 so you can go longer using voodoo weapons without running out.

Spirit Mastery: A good skill to retrain for after you have mastered. Because it increases damage for doll and staff, wait until you have mastered them to make it rank 3-5 so you can still get good rep while leveling it.

There is my staff retraining guide, hope it helps!
