Hi

I currently have Exploration IV and Hunting IV and need to drop one of them to III. My intended skill template requires this as I also need Surveying III.

Now I need the surveying and harvesting skills as I have a master doctor and need to get resources. So which should I drop to III? I know I need to harvest meat but also moving on hilly terrain at speed is very handy so basically it comes down to which is going to benefit me most at IV. Speed vs harvesting.

Any advice will be greatfully recieved.

Cheers

Hats off to SOE. Not many companies could take the best MMO on the market and fu*k it up completely, that takes real skill.

If you drop Exploration 4 you will lose the Mask Scent Bonus...but if you drop Hunting 4 you'll get a few less units of meat. Think about which one is important to you. Honestly with vehicles I don't find that exploration is that handy anymore...except for mask scent.

Polished,

If you've got a speeder, you don't need to worry about Exploration IV. Drop it.

agreed! Scouting skills (Mask Scent, Terrain Negotiation) have become a joke since the introduction of speeders.

I dont know, I have a speeder, but I rely so heavily on my Exploration skills...

Maskscent is used all the time so that I can avoid aggro when I dont want it. Its good for when I am popping lairs, and dont have to worry about having a ton of mobs jump me all at once. And since Im melee, it lets me sneak in close to them without them going crazy, which lets me get the first hit in.

And terrain negotiation is really useful to me as a Melee person. Chasing mobs/people over hilly ground is a pain in the rear anyways, I can only imagine how annoying it would be if I slowed to a crawl.

And burst run effeciency is super useful too (again, melee and needing to catch up to something)...

Its the Camping/Trapping part of scout that sort of escapes me in usefulness.

you know...ever since i've let my inner scout out....i rarely use my speeder anymore except to travel to distances longer than 2Km.

Most of the time i just enjoy running around on autorun while i /tell people and chat with my guild.

but then again...that's me.
