Hi I am a novice CM and was wondering if anyone had any tips on what to start out on.

What should I learn first and why for: Quick leveling... what skill do I need to grind on?





Go Support 4, Distance 4 then Speed 4. Personally I'd get some AE Poison A's (Any stat) and go to a durni lair (or any low HP mob lair will do).Poke the lair till about 10 or more come out at once, holster your weapon, peace and spam the poison.


At CM0002 you will get the xp equivalent to the rated effectiveness of the poison pack plus your effectiveness bonus. At CM0004 you can start using better poison packs, like AE Bs. At CM1004 your damage on the packs will start gaining more of a bonus to damage and distance. At CM4004 your bonus to damage and distance will be maxed until you reach Master. At this point you will fly through the Speed tree in approximately 30 minutes or so.


Now you may ask "But won't mobs die with so much poison being applied to them?" No, thanks to the +1 nerf the Devs have introduced the easiest way to Power Level a CM.


Another question you may have is "Will I still gain xp for applying a poison pack to a mob with only 1 HP?" Yes, you will gain full XP but it just won't do the damage. Spam the pack like mad. I recommend you buy or make some poison packs made with Rancor biles to maximize the charges. A good pack made with Rancor Bile can have upwards of 90-190 charges on them.








Most useful... what skill(s) is most useful without being master to keep me occupied?





To get the best damage and range out of dabbling CM, you could just master the Support and Distance trees. You will be able to use the best single poison and disease Cs. However you will only be able to use AE Cs at the Master level (unless they are heavily experimented on potency). Dabbling will reduce your range and your damage so there is alot of incentive to Mastering CM.
