I've decided to become a Dark Knight on my Fiona, and due to the fact that I haven't played since early access beta I am clueless as to how to allocate skill points in my DK tree.
:T_T:
Some help and/or advice would be lovely.
(Currently I have my single point stuck into ATT, is this bad?)

Stage 1, I'd go:
HP 3
ATT 3
Steal 1 (only if you're a hammer Fiona)
Aura 5
Fatigue 3
Potential 3
2nd Stage 1
Rest in Resistance
For Stage 2,
Longevity 3
Fury 3
Stamina 3 (or 4)
Vigor 3
Fissure 1
Regeneration 1
Destiny 3
Encroach 2
1 more into Resistance if you got Stamina 3
I wouldn't recommend Steal as a sword Fiona since swords don't smash as much as a spin2win hammer Fiona so you won't get much out of it. Also, I wouldn't recommend Resistance as much as a hammer Fiona since if you want to take hits without flinching, that means you'll probably just want to spin2win at which point you should use Slashing High for the flinch resistance. For Sword Fiona, since you don't use Slashing High you may want the resistance.
As for Stamina 3 or 4, I'd go for 4 on a hammer Fiona because of how quickly hammer eats stamina now, but not so much on a sword because Stamina's regen peters out at level 4/5 (only an additional 1 stamina per 5 secs instead of 2 like in levels 1-3) and won't need it as much with just Amaranth kicks.
Regeneration is pretty useless so I wouldn't bother with that at all other than the 1 point as a pre-req.

Thank you very much for the detailed response, I'm going to copy it down for future reference.
I've been trying hammer since they were not available during the time I originally played and so far it's quite fun, so I may end up sticking with hammers.
Also, thanks for the tip on Slashing High usage with the hammer, up till now I didn't really find any use with that skill.

Yeah, we recently got a hammer tweak that drastically changed how hammer Fiona's play now. Spamming Butterfly Swing is now one of the highest DPS moves in the game, which makes Slashing High extremely valuable to a hammer Fiona.

I disagree about Sword + Steal.
Fionas have a hard time soloing any large group of mobs and Steal is a welcome addition, especially when Sword Fionas pull missiles each smash in their combo.
