Returning after a long absence: what to learn now? [Combat]

Kio

Hiyas!  It's been a while since I stayed around for a time, but it looks like I'm settling back in.  I bought a handful a credits and went to town (I LOOOOOOVE this new Wyrdenwood stuff ), but I don't know where to pop some of these lessons.  I'm looking to get into combat, and I think I have a bit more to go, but still - what skills should I work towards in what order?

(Note: I'm currently under a truefavor, but my guildskills are actually Trans)

I know I need to get tumble and green.  I also know I want to trans resilience for the resistances, combat for the shieldstun, and discipline for the power regen.  I also eventually need to learn some more beastmastery and tailoring (I've heard Splendour Robes are great).  I just don't know where to start!

p.s. I also LOVE this question thing!  I just hope I'm doing it right x.x

Make sure that you have Conglutinate once the favour wears off, that's a very nice ability for hunting purposes.  Especially as a Crow user, where you can use Rebirth for Prime and conglutinate for anywhere else.

Beastmastery bodyguard is also a very lovely ability, but it's up at the end of the skillset (50% mythical I think).

I'd probably start with Tumble and Green though.  Pick off the low-hanging fruit, it gets you further than focusing on transcending one skill at the expense of all others.

Well, if you want PvP, you're going to need plenty more lessons in Combat.  Stance / Parry are pretty much essential, especially as a tree with a weakness to cutting.

Rightio! I'll definitely have lessons left over after Tumble and Green.  I'll also definitely have Conglutinate.  Where should I start focusing after those?

Kio

Gotchya. I'll definitely focus there, then.  Thank ya!

Focus mind is probably a good thing to have as well.

Kio

Have it!
