Skill Point Distribution

I was just wondering what the best way to distribute skill points is. I play as a 70 assassin.
Can someone help me please?

 

There is no best way.

 

Really you can choose any, now. Just depends on what you like more:

strength gives a consistent damage boost and is usually related to poison, high damage and slow speed,

dexterity gives the chance to deal double damage, thunder gear is usually fast or very fast with sometimes random damage values (for instance 1-100 damage range),

intelligence reduces mana cost of spells and boosts water damage - these items usually have mana regen, mana steal, or high spell damage,

defense gives a consistent defense boost and increases fire damage, this gear usually gives health boost and health regen, and sometimes lowers walkspeed slightly

agility gives the chance to dodge attacks entirely and boosts air damage, air gear is usually fast speed with consistent damage, armor and weapons are based around walk speed or fast attacks

honestly it's up to you to decide which investment you like more, there are plenty of weapons for each class of all types, for instance water spears for warriors or poison earth daggers for assassin.

Personally I love intelligence, the ability to cast many spells in a row is amazing. As an archer I have 20 dexterity, 20 agility and 75 intelligence with water based bows, which also gives me fast mana regen.

 

To be honest I love the idea that there are actually legitimate different choices when it comes to builds.
Also, I heard that the VIP and VIP+ classes have the old mana costs for spells, can you check? I'm a non donor :P

 

Piggybacking on Snowing, I will say that as far as ratios go, it's primarily best to focus on 2 or 3 skills rather than spreading them out to all 5. You have 198 points to work with at max level, and most builds will benefit most from something akin to 100/98 or 100/49/49, though the exact values are up to you. Also don't mix strength and dexterity nor defense and agility. They counteract eachother and your points are better spent in other places, plus their play styles don't work well together, with strength and fire supporting slower bulkier builds and dexterity and agility supporting faster more agile builds.

 

It just depends on your play style.

 

Actually with the right gear, you have more like 250 skill points to work with xD

 

Right, but I'm just talking about natural skill points here.
