I think the first skill point i will remove on staff is from pestilence. I mean who uses pestilence? At least I don't. I want to max flame since it is pretty powerful. Oh and I want to max Desolation. Desolation is not useless like everyone says it is. You can kill several lvl 25s in one hit of desolation. I know, it takes down your health. Then just take a tonic after you use it. Desoltaion is useful as a life saver because it can never kill you.
