Even though it is all worthless, which tree to pick up first?

Currently I am:

0/0/0/3, and 100k into Tactics IV. Now, the only reason I did this tree first is because I had an SL in the group at the time I had Novice. He had Mobility I and Tactics I, so I decided to pick up Tactics first then. BUT, is there a tree thats the "best" to go up first? That I can start on after Tactics? Or should I go up the tree with the coolest name?

well im a master now. I picked up leadership I believe (whatever the one with rally is) first. I did this because it had the bonus to ranged defense and to hit. THen I picked up the tree with the melee defense mods. At this point a group under you is pretty well defended and can hit more consistantly under rally.

I have recently tried all the other skills and they are neat. I like boost morale and form up myself. I also tried volly shot which made my flame thrower spit out 3 fire balls in one sec! very nice! Unfortunately everyone else was a brawler so I dont know if it did anything for them. Boost morale is cool though, its funny when I use it and people yell "hey my wounds are gone!" then others yell "hey... how did I get these wounds!" LOL

Its too bad I decided to follow the holos cause I kinda like being a SL, even though it sucks my mind away.

Tactics has Rally in it, which I already use. I'm probably going to go up the Leadership Tree next, for Form Up, and Boost Morale. Then I'll do the Volley Fire Tree, then Mobility. Thanks. =)

don't do the volleyfire yet. best one is the mobility tree, especially for people who don't have a single skill point in scout. they really start to love you when they realize they can run up a hill now. i dunno, if you stay in a static spot while you hunt (squill caves, tusken) then the trees are up to you, but if you move around alot (nightsister hunts, kimo, any other large hunts) mobility is definitely a plus.
