Well, this is quite objective (or is it subjective?). No matter, as there are some reasons to digress:

Say you like the Doll as your weapon of choice. You seem to not be able to get any other weapon right. Well then, what do you do? Well, you max everything that may help you then! With the Cutlass, a point in Thrust does you nothing. 5 could, however, go in Parry, and 5 could, however, go in Endurance, and possibly prove useful as you use the Doll.

As well, there are many reasons to disagree with other points, arguing mainly on function (the previous argument was an argument for a weapon with no respective fuction). For instance, people may use the Asp, Throw Dirt (which you forgot btw), and Vipers Nest for their Doll/Staff/Pistol disrupting abilities, and for them only. Others may use it as their weapon of choice; others as a weapon of choice for close combat. It's all varied.

Personally, I will spend money when I have too much all on redistributing points for the sake of having fun via combat. I'll try all sorts of different builds.

Some of these things I have changed around, and basically nothing close to some of the stuff you have here. I am basing this on end product, as it would be a completely different build to work skill points. This would be one point in many lower skills to do less damage and get more rep.

First I would argue why off so much on the blade instinct, barrage, and spirit mastery, when they basically do the same thing, just different skills. Still with no change in regular combat, 4 points in any of these or 5. Actually did more damage testing with the 4 point character in staff. Pvp may be a bit more difference in damage not sure on that yet. To the side I will put some things I have done.

Several places you are lacking what you could have in damage. Spirit mastery for one, shoot another in pistol. Cannon is optional, fury, or explosive, if you prefer.

the reason why i dont put so many points on these is because first if maxed it only raises the damage of each attack by 25% and thats the equivalant to 1 skill point on an attack so i see them as a waste of points and not worth the 25%

Well, think about it: does Spirit Mastery increase the damage of voodoo attacks, like stated, or does it boost the base damage of voodoo attacks? It when maxed boosts (or at least should boost according to statement alone) the damage of any attack by 25%: so 5 points in it is like putting 2 extra points in a skill with 5 points in it. As well, they all boost more than one weapon: the dagger isn't to be used like the Cutlass, right?
