Its not that i dont know what to rank right now, its more like im indecisive.
See the problem is i dont know what to rank right now, i have r1 in quite a few skills now, all range and everything except fh is maxed offensive combat wise, and i dont want to do skills like charge or carpentry yet because there boaring.
Because i dont feel like using words to describe my skills, ill post a screenshot once i get on the game in a bit.
For now though, im wondering what would be a better choice for a melee character.
1. Working on defense then pumping my hp and mp up to tank with manashield and kite shields.
or
2.Working on defense, then branching into magic to gain int and thunder for rafting for easy exploration exp, and magic bolts for melee combat.
Or should i just skip defense and go into magic. I could save ap for future ranged skills but i only really use that for luring or melee resistant enemies sniping behind spikes now, and magic gets better in the future and seems more interesting to me now.
So, any ideas?

Since you seem to be good in the combat department go for magic AFTER defense. Defense is very good for anything. But...Why magic? Why not alchemy?

I'd say go Defense, then to magic.
Rank 1 Defense is very helpful because of all the defense gains you get from ranking it~ I'm glad I have it 8)

Defense then Magic, because the Int helps making Mana Shield more Mana efficient. Once you get that 300 base Int at age 10 (meaning at 17 years old, having 305 Int as a Human, 317 Int as an Elf, or 301 Int as a Giant), then you can start focusing on Mana Shield and MP. That way, your Thunder damage won't suck as bad as it would if you just went into Mana Shield and Thunder after Defense.

I don't think alchemy and melee go together as well as melee and magic, r1 bolts could be usefull to inturupt archers or stun enemies for a smash, or knockback things that get too close, but alchemy would take too long for those with the cylender switching and all that. But i think ill start working on defense now, its been something ive wanted to do for a while. Ill figure out if i feel like finishing carpentry after, if not ill be branching into magic.
