Skill Point Placement

Pencil · #1 07-29-2010, 12:21 PM

So where do you put your skill points and what is good amount in each section by level 200? I've been pretty even mostly but now I'm leaning towards defence.

Lvl 33
atk: 42
def: 46
spirit: 10
mana and health are both original amount... Buy I was wondering when I should put points in mana and how many? Mostly just for the imperial ice sword.

it all depends on how you want to play. offensive-attacker, or defensive and not much attacking, or someplace in the middle. I started out heavier in defense to not be farmed earlier on in the game.....now I am adding more to attack and have more attack than defense by 30 points or so.

anyhow...IMHO-----

with 10 points in spirit...i would suggest putting more into attack, because you have already put 7 additional points in being able to attack.

as for the mana....unless they add in mission mastery....i think it is a waste to add much if any into it. the imperial ice sword does have the highest defense points for weapons (currently)...but it cost 12k for upkeep...plus how many will you truly be able to loot knowing how infrequent the drops are? Also 55 mana is an awful lot of extra points that could be put into attack or defense and better used.

but if you decide to do it..then 1 point per level plus 1 extra every 6 levels should get you to the 75 mana needed.

My thoughts. (lvl 149, 18.2mill)

Decide if you will be online alot, or a little, or average. If you think you will be on alot, then I would suggest putting about 30 - 40 pts in spirit, and everything else into attack. Like I said, if you are on alot, you can use the 27hp critical as your 'defense'.

With the super-highlevel 300 cap now, and no new lands, it's gonna take forever to make the run to 300, and it's gonna cost unimaginable amounts of money. A full Def kit or full Att kit will now be around 29mill/cycle upkeep, instead of the previous 18/19mill number.

Putting skill in Manna is worthless, because there's not that much difference in an Ice Sword and the top store items; and you can't loot 1500 ice-swords to make that big a difference. I'd only put 19 in Manna so you can do the spider quest for max exps. Don't put any into health...so you stay closer to 27.

By putting all your pts in ATT, you will get strong enough at the highest levels to crack anyone without having to buy possesses....which have reidiculous upkeep....I'm hoping to be able to crack any defense with Tidal Waves or at least Death Curses by 300 so it will save some on upkeep.

If you won't be on all the time, and you want to focus on Defense, then do all defense, (19 manna still for exps). Also, keep your army count low in all defense mode, so you don't appear on the battle-screen of the larger armied people. You really don't need to start maxing army members until after lvl 60 and you've emmassed a ton of gold by camping there....if I could do it all over again, I'd do all my camping at 60, then when I got to 28/mill or 50mill/cycle, and could equip a full lvl 300 army, then start to make the run.

It's much tougher camping at the high levels, than down in the double digit lvls.

Why is it tougher to camp at higher levels than at lvl 60? I am currently level 80. Dont they give the same ROI after level 60 since you unlocked all the lands?

There are a whole lot less people who can attack you while camping at lvl 60. At lvl 150, everyone in the entire game can attack you.

Oh... so army size no longer works? I have 9 armies now, and shouldnt I only be visible to people who has between 1-9 armies?

hazarameveth · #7 08-01-2010, 11:06 AM

no that safety valve stops as you go higher because there arent enough small-armied people to be paired with.

i ran "1" army member to just past lvl 80, and had to upsize cuz i was showinh up on the bigger armies battle pages.

doing it all over, i would do all ATT, 19 manna, and 15-20 spirit, and camp at lvl-60 until I had enough gold to buy both max-Att and max-DEF for lvl 300.
Leveling would then be much easier.....not to many lvl 60-150 folks will attack and get on the bafside of a leveling 60 player who turns 40-50mill/cycle.
Wheaty is a good example of building early then breezing through levels.

Then what defense should I stop at? I just got to 50 def now and I'm now putting everything in attck. I think I'll be an active offensive player so should I max my def at like 75 or 100?

xfer · #9 08-01-2010, 11:24 PM

Regarding def, personally i like to increase def, because you choose who you attack, but not who attacks you.

I've got a good ratio, because of the way i play, i want minimal losses, probably standing at 20:1 atm.

Interestingly, I dont see many 1-4 armies guy in my list, probably just once every few days, that is why i am assuming i should be safe. Also, there could possibly be less of these people around which i'll never know.
