Thread: Which Skill Tree to give up?
So here's the scenario, I'm master Artisan and Master Architect. I'm on my way to Master Pistoleer. Now this hasnt happened yet, but lets say I get my Holocron, and one of the 3 I have is already correct (of coruse I dont now that yet) so which do I give up.
I can see it now, it tells me - Become a Master Dancer! So i give up Architect, and once I've got Master Dancer it comes back and says - Too become uber you must be a Master Architect...DOH!
Give up the one that you've maxxed out your XP on, but don't use those skills again. In this way you will retain that maxxed out xp and will be able to mosty retrain that profession very very quickly. Take a look at the skill trees and compare them to your maxxed out xp. You'll probably be suprised to see that your maxxed xp will get you most of the way up those skill trees.

I dunno, I'm kinda under the impression that they will not tell you to master a skill that you have previously mastered. But, who knows.

I think that your MAX xp will drop when you surrender skills, so you will lose whatever XP is over the current limit for your skill level.
Nope. You keep that XP. The only thing is, you CANNOT gain any more of that XP type. The second you do so, you lose a LOT of XP (the amount your left with is double the base training xp requirement).
So, if you give up pistoleer. Just take that pistol and put it in the bank so that you have NO chance of ever using it again, and hence, no chance of gaining any XP. Then, when it's time to train pistoleer again after you finally got your FSCS, you just go back and use those accumulated xp points.
HTH!

That would suck so bad. I just became master weaponsmith tonight. I would break something if i surrendered it and then a holocron told me to get it again.
Seriously, I would look towards Footwork. You keep the defence of both Stances & grips as well as the damage mittigation of Techniques. That and I think 1hd exp much easier to get than Combat exp when you want to get it back fast. Besides, you should have a decent amount of 1hd exp to use to get it back fairly fast.
Just a thought,

Thanks for all the advice.
From the footwork I will miss the bleed and area spin attack. they come in handy
when fighting three 10K ham animals at the same time.
hmm what to do? 
I am keeping nothing else. Combat medic takes 169 skill poins to master, therefore I have to give up
one complete tree from fencer, and yes I will come back to it as my main unless I have to do BH for the grind.
