Hi all, I was using the character creator to plan out my future skills. As I looked over the various skills, I wanted to add all of them. But in reality, that would take way too SP. So, which ones are worth adding to?

-Autumn Wind. (Even though people say it's sucky and weak, it does launch the fastest out of all the single-hit bow skills, and plus, it penetrates. When I saw someone use Autumn Wind Snake in PVP, it owned They used it directly after Strong bow and 4 arrow combo, and dang does it hit fast.)

-Demon Soul Arrow. (Any archer would want to have more range, but when it's maxed, it only gives 5 meters or so on the last book. Is it worth it for the extra range? Or should I leave it at 1?)

-Fire Shield series. (It would save me from ice users, but monsters usually don't inflict poison/freeze on you until later on. Is it worth maxing later?)

-Fire Wall series. (It seems like it would help a lot against nukers, but is it exactly the same as Crystal Wall from cold mastery?)

-Concentration. (Some people say to max it, but others say that it's a waste. Is it worth maxing for the lower damage that you take?)

-Lightning passive. (Same as concentration, is it worth putting points in so that you take less damage?)

Thanks, if you want to help a little bit

just go look at the SP farming thread~~

btw, be aware of the 300 mastery lvl cap

JM seems not to raise them ToT....

Well it really depends on what ur build is, what Weps u plan 2 use. ETC.

Do NOT take autumn wind. The only usefulness of the skill is when you are fighting uniques, to take out more mobs at once. In every other area Autumn Wind is useless. Btw, it doesn't launch THAT fast; i've had it in my archer, and it was really a waste of SP.
Demon soul is very good, and definitely worth the SP. Very useful in jobs, or guild wars. (an archer can stay some distance away and still be very deadly)
Fire Shield is also very useful for level cap people. it renders you immune to ice. It is also useful in PvP at lower levels, but if you dont want to play to level cap, you can drop it.
Fire wall: USELESS (just wastes mana)
Light passive and concentration, used together give a +56 bonus to parry ratio. (maxed out, of course). This vital for nukers, can be left out if you are STR, but generally the less damage you recieve, the better.
Hope this helps...

Berserker is a better choice than Autumn Wind. Autumn wind only works in a row, but berserker hits surrounding radius. Plus, berserker later books hit higher.

Imo, yes =), but if no sp, just max 1st book

-Fire Shield series. (It would save me from ice users, but monsters usually don't inflict poison/freeze on you until later on. Is it worth maxing later?)

Get it =), maxed

-Fire Wall series. (It seems like it would help a lot against nukers, but is it exactly the same as Crystal Wall from cold mastery?)

No, it's not the same. crystal wall is physical defense, fire wall is magical defense. useless unless u plan on pvp a lot.

-Concentration. (Some people say to max it, but others say that it's a waste. Is it worth maxing for the lower damage that you take?)

Depends on how much sp you're going to farm.

-Lightning passive. (Same as concentration, is it worth putting points in so that you take less damage?)

It's a passive. Only 6 lvls to max, and doesn't take much sp at all.

Thanks, if you want to help a little bit

There are ppl who farmed a lot, and get 4 trees (weapon, fire, light, and ice). I personally think that 3 trees is enough. Unless you really want to pvp and is willing to farm a lot. So if you pick 2 force trees already, don't bother with anything in the 3rd tree.

All that information is in the topic title

Thank you Tiglari and Shimohime . I was planning on farming 50k SP, which will get me to level 52 with three trees. I have decided to drop autumn wind, fire wall, and fire shield until a higher level.
