Skill point recommendations?

[Shinazueli]

So here's what I think I should do with my skill points. Please offer your thoughts on what you think a good strategy is.

By my math, you get 600 skill points from 200 levels. Plus another 30 odd points from leveling each map to 5. (And growing as they add maps).

So, because someday when I can finally level up again, I'd like to be able to Pve without making my eyes bleed, I'm putting a full 400 points into 200 hero strength, for endgame w/a farming.

That leaves 200 points. I'd then want to have bare minimum 20 stamina (as that appears to be the effective limit on attacking people) plus it refills in exactly one hour. That's 40 points.

Which leaves me with 160 points, plus 30+. (Let's call it 40 for easy math). I'd split that fairly evenly into attack and defense skill points, giving them each 100.

The final tally looks like this:

Hero Strength : 200
Stamina : 20
Attack : 100
Defense : 100

Thoughts?

just buy alot of gold and you will be unstoppable.

Forget about Hero Strength. All attack no defense. Good for boss events and may even deter some gem rivals if you are a free player.

So ... put all skill points into hero strength until level 133. Okay.

[Winstrol]

Why do you even bother with attack and defense ? just put all stats into hero str.

Yeah mare most of my info is based on that thread and the CCM quote. I was hoping for some more thoughtful discussion, don't know what I was thinking.

Anyways, I'm just going to go with the original plan. Let everyone do what they want. Without access to code it's hard to do more than guess anyway.

I would recommend more than 100 defensive skill points. At 250 skill points, some have reported being able to frequently, although not always, defend against rivals with 50% more attack then your defense (havent confirmed this, just read it a long time ago). I have 160 in MW and have defended against players with 150% attack stats to my defense. They may have only attacked once, so I do not know how well it works, but considering endgame everyone has dragon armies with more attack than your max defense with all dragons, it is an invisible defense booster! Also, in endgame leveling up wont matter so if it takes a little while longer to farm w/a so what? You cant reallocate skill points once their spent unless you are super lucky (someone had it happen in MW)

Part of my endgame strategy involves farming the best w/a from the last maps. As a result, I'd like to be able to two (max three with RNG) shot the lowbie monsters on those maps. Any idea how much hero strength that requires? [I know this depends on your hero's w/a, I'm just looking for a ballpark number]. If I can stop at 100 hero strength then I'd be able to get up to 200 a/d skill points apiece.

Thanks.

Edit : finally, an invisible boost that doesn't suck.

The thing about attack skill points is you can always check stats. Unless you are a heavy gem spender you would be better off applying most of the skill points on defense rather than attack (referring to skill points you are prepared to allocate to attack or defense, not hero strength)

Not being that high or a heavy gem spender, I don't understand why they would want high attack but I wouldn't?

The reason I personally like them is because when I attack someone that has less stats than me, I would rather like to win.

How does the attack and defence skill points work ? I dont know because I'm spending all of my points to Hero strength.

The reason a heavy gem spender would want high attack points is that their stats, including defense stats, are usually so much higher than non-gem or light gem players that nobody save another heavy gem spender can successfully attack them so their stats are high enough to defend 99.99% of all rivals. However, a player with a ultra high amount of defensive skill points might be able to successfully defend against this player every once in a while. To combat the high level of defense skill points they go high attack skill points.

As for you not needing them, if you check your rivals stats before attacking you will know whether you can win or not. I have 54k attack. I can easily find someone on the rival list with 30k defense or less and I will win. Problem solved. You can't choose who attacks you. That is why I recommend high defensive skill points. allocate your skill points as you see fit. It is your game and there is no right or wrong way to play.

It's not going to deter anyone since they can't see it.
