Which tree should I start working on first as a novice pistoleer?

Always from the days of old men has it been this way
And none born can escape this thing.

from what I have read marksmanship is good. It has no skills, but lots of mods. Should make getting the xp for the other trees easier overall. I just trained the int. marksmanship skill and it does make a difference. I am going to master it and then start my way towards stopping shot then body shot 3.


Also, I have ranged support 3 and qualified for 4, but am saving that precious combat xp so I can get pistol melee 1 aka pistol whip. That skill is suppose to be a real ass stomper, it give you a close range knockdown attack so you can push them over and shoot them while they are down. =)

My suggestion is Wound Treatment Speed. The ability to heal FASTER seems logically the FASTEST way to get the medical exp, is it not?

Sounds like it is but actually it is not.. its a trade off..


heal faster get xp quicker


heal slower but heal better get more xp


So each one makes up the difference in the other..


I say grind your crafting to max. then get wound treatment because of the range at which a heal pack can do you have a better chance of healing for more xp and those peak highs may put you in the lead for xp over healing small amounts quickly.

A doctor becomes valuable at Master Surgeon because he can revive. Narrow your focus to just what you need to revive - treatment and medicine use. Everything else is gravy.

Master Surgeon. Buffs and res offer a nice amount of experience.Buffing experienceis also nice to fall back onin medical centers that are heavily staffed with novice medics.

Alrighty then, just ignore what I said....my med exp goes fast enough that it will take me longer to grind crafting than it will all three other trees combined LOL...did I mention today that I hate med crafting?

Hi all.

I'm steadily working up my skills, and had a question. Right now I'm 0/0/1/0, and have skillpoints to get either Watfaring 1 or Tracking 2. Which would you choose first? Tracking tree or Wayfaring tree? I'm still unclear as to exactly HOW Camo affects mobs. Is it better or worse than MaskScent? Does it stack with it? How does it interact with the Rifle skills that require you to be under cover or concealed?

Thanks for any help, the FAQ didn't really answer these questions for me.

Tracking is the main one... you get more harvest per creature that way... the rest... well.. i guess the camps would be next, just cause they look neat.
