Thread: If you can go only 1 tree, which skill would you get?
What are you trying to do?
Maximum damage?
PvP?
Creatures?
Crowd-control?
Knockdowns?
Name your goal and we'll pick your tree 
(Burstshot hits Health about 60% of the time, and Action about 30% of the time, and Mind about 10% of the time, in my informal testing)
For PvP situations. SinceI estimate only have enough skill points up to a 3rd tree, so want to make it worth while. Basically an attack that dealsthe most damage on a single target.
Burstshot2 seems to be good, or Scattershot2?
OK, I don't PvP, so I'll leave this open to others.
But BurstShot1 does pretty sick damage with a well-made sliced Laser Carbine, considering it takes just Novice Carbineer and Intermediate Counterinsurgency to get. Should be able to shoot for almost 1800 dmg with just those two skill boxes.
Knockdowns can be king of PvP (and to a degree, posture changes), so consider ChargeShot1 or SuppressionFire2. (Counterinsurgency gets you BurstShot, SuppressionFire2, and the defensive bonuses [and we'll hopefully get more of those soon])
I was thinking about Countersurgency 3to get Burstshot since it hasa 3 mulitplier, and some bonus against knockdown. Or Tactics 3 forScattershot 2.Does Burstshot still onlyhit Action pool?
Actually besides the Scattershots/Full Auto shots, are there other attacks that target health? When in a group, 90% of attacks are health.
