Hey guys

Just made TKA novice and was wondering which skill tree to train first?

I know the combat exp tree pretty much takes care of itself, but can anyone recommend which unarmed tree to go for first?

Thanx in advance

Hey what i was told was get the 0-0-1-x, then 0-1-1-x, then go up the meditate line so 4-1-1-x. Get the dizzy, then knockdown, combine that with a stun and you'll take down a lot of humanoid NPC's and some creatures. When they're down commence the whopping. But since I'm only 1-1-1-1 myself i'm sure some of the masters here would have other recomendations.

It really depends on your play style. Personally I went all the way up power first. unarmed hit 2 is very useful. I had tons of combat xp left over from commando and was able to snag most of teh last tree fast.

If you fight humanoids then precision striking 1 is useful, if you fight animals it isn't as useful. I would say meditation is nice, but not an essential part of the grind... unless you don't like to go out buffed and have no medic skills....

I would say power is likely the best bet.

I'd personally recommend going up the tree laterally rather than up a single tree. I personally went:

0/0/1/0, 0/1/1/1, 1/1/1/1, 2/1/1/1, 2/2/2/1, 2/3/2/2 and now I'm on 3/2/2/2.

Power boost really is a must and so is balance conditioning 3 since it's gives you the very handy melee mitigation 2 along with other defences. Power tech 3 and 4 aren't all that handy since the specials aren't all that focussed and the extra power is marginal. However rising up the meditation skills gives you alot of flexability plus Power boost in of itself is exceptionally valuable. Some people leave the meditation skills until last but that is a big mistake in my opinion.

Personally I went all the way up to power and then precision. Got buffed and took Brandyand killed as many savage quenkers that I could.

Good hunting

I went 1/1/1/1 then got the power tree and know i'm working on meditation so know i'm a 2/1/4/2 almost a 3/1/4/2.

From being a retired master commando i went up very quickly in the combat pts tree. so it day i got novice i went directly to 0002 moved on to 0112 the same day, after that i worked up enought for meditate 2 and power boost. Cleared the power tech and precision strike tree, moved on to clear the meditate tree and just finishing off the last 3 of balance. Mostly getting into groups hunting enraged Rancors. that moved me along Very quickly.

I went:

011? -> 014? -> 414? -> Master

But if I had to do it over again I would have gone up meditation to *at least* powerboost if not all the way to wound healing after getting 011?. I realized only once I got there how much it helped me keep in fights and keep grinding away. I also got a fair amount of my XP hitting tuskens so the dizzy -> kd1 combo was useful, but if you're figthing stuff that isn't as vulnerable to dizzy/kd1 i'd probably go up med first.
