Skill Trees

As of late I've been looking over my skill tree to see what I could improve upon. I found a few skills I should get and have new goals set but then I though. Does everyone else know what a good skill tree would be for their style of play? Who knows what skills are the core few to get and which are broken? The point is, if anyone wants me to advise them on their skills or skill tree, I'd be more than glad to help. Leave a post with your favorite few weapons and maps, and I'll take a look at your profile. The better skill trees we have, the better we play, and the better HYDRO will be!

Lately I've been thinking that the gunsmith 10+ damage is not really worth it (I could be wrong). I will only change it though until I have tried it. Though I want some of your advice for the future. Here is my info:

Favorite guns:

-SMGs: p90 devgru, PDR.
-ARs: AEK, ACR-C, AK 105, IWI X95R, AK 74.
-snipers: ORSIS, SKS, DT SRS.
-I dont really use shotguns any more
-LMGs: RPD, COLT IAR.

Favorite maps:

-Old saw mill 1-2
-Evac 1-2
-bay 5-day 7

I know I have a lot of favorite guns, but my skill tree just doesn't seem right for some reason. I mean I have what I need, but I guess its just not complete becasuse I'm still waiting for my main feature (permanent 25+ damage to guns).

So I think your tree will end up resembling mine. To start off, I don't think gunsmith should be your class. It's an awesome class especially once you get all the spec skills, but they're only really useful in TDS or Tactical Conquest, which are modes it sounds like you don't play.

Out of the remaining classes, I think that the best choices would be either assault or destroyer class. I say this mainly because of the necessity of armor. Without it you die on average two to four shots earlier than someone with armor. This is how armor works. The amount of penetration on the weapon your being hit with is the percent of damage that traces through your armor. So if a weapon has 30 penetration, 70% of the damage will be stopped by your armor until you run out. The remaining 30% will be subtracted from your life. Also, the bullet that "breaks" your armor (or reduces it to 0) Gets an amount of absorbed damage. If you have 5 armor left and your hit, you lose your armor but take almost no damage. This is because the shots damage correlated to the armor which was reduced to zero disallowing further damage. This only happened to the one specific bullet that breaks your armor.

Even though that it is possible to get armor while being other classes, for such a general and well-rounded player, I suggest assault or destroyer class. I have two skill trees as examples to looks at. They both have similar builds but the main difference is grenades vs. armor. If you progress further into the assault once you have more SP or into destroyer kind of determines your class too. I think that the assault class has much better skills, but if you decide on getting fire stabilization, that will most likely keep you a destroyer.

Anyways, take a look at these and feel free to ask me any questions about whats already written here or anything else you'd want to know.

Thanks. And yeah I feel like gunsmith isn't for me. I mean, the +10 damage sounds pretty awesome, but I have low penetration and low health, and those two are pretty important. If the gunsmith damage doesn't help me kill quicker and die less, I think I'll just stay with destroyer. It has lots of life and armor for free (clan skills), and I think its pretty good. And I really like firestab, because It makes me so accurate (I'm talking about god mode). If not, I'll just go back to assault. I really want that extra ammo because it is life saving sometimes.

Yea, I think to most notable skill that I've ever had, has been the +2 mags. You start going on a rampage on HC, and before you know it, your on the last mag for your primary. And yea, if you play with LMG's at all, get fire stab. Go be one if those guys picking off tons of people from sniping range with it.

I have tried my super OP guns and they kill so much quicker now. Only problem is, I only have 105 health. And 0 armor. It is still really hard to stay alive. And I need that armor and health. Here is what I came up with:

Looks good. Just keep in mind that they nerved the grenades (both buffed and non-buffed) in the last update. Im currently respecing my tree with no buffs on my grenades and no scout bonuses, but 100 armor instead. Go on! hit me a few more times. Who needs +9 mobility when we have 100 armor?
