Alright, in the previous thread I opened when I just started, Shamarah came up with a pretty extensive list of skills to get. It took me a while but I finally got those skills! And a few more out of curiosity too. I need help deciding what to learn next to improve combat ability and I'm open to suggestions. Many many suggestions.

Magic = more damage done, less damage taken ( I think that;s how it works)

and more discernent can never hurt, that's like my favorite subskill

I know getting focus mind in discipline is very useful (fabled)
Higher resiliance will lesson physical damage and will increase shrugging poisons
Higher magic will decrease magical damage done to you, as well as lesson the succumb tic from a shadowdancer, higher magic is really good when fighting bards.
Higher combat will increase your chance for a warrior to miss when targetting a stanced area.

I'm not sure about the mage skills yet so I can't comment on your guildskills

I would trans Resilience and Discipline next (If you are done training your guild skills). Also, I do not think Magic effects your magic damage, just your resilience to Magic damage. Can we get a guru to confirm this?

The power of some attacks, such as Nightkiss or Drawdown, is dependant on the total number of lessons invested in the skill (Night and Moon respectively). Since these abilities are gained at Transcendant, anyways, that may seem like a non-issue. Investing lessons in Magic, however, actually increases the amount of damage done by some abilities because Magic is a parent-skill for the Arcana Pool. It's a bit like how Trackers without Transcendent Environment cannot see traps owned by Trackers with Transcendent Environment.

No. Magic isn't as useful for a city dweller. Get other skills first.

Trans guildskills first.

Then trans discipline, combat, resilience and magic.
