Do I have to take an ability I don't want/need such as Spiked Armour as a DK, in order to get my Draconic power levelled high enough to take an ability I do want such as Dark Talons?

    Nope, you just have to continue to level the skill tree, which means you need atleast one ability from that tree on your bar, but no you don't have to take skills from the top down to get what you want.

    Nope, you just need whatever Draconic abilities you already have on your bar. I'm a nightblade, in the shadow tree all I have is veiled strike, shadowcloak and summon shade, I skipped everything inbetween.

    Thats what Im getting at. You had to take Shadow cloak to get Shadow skills to lvl 4, before you could take veiled strike.

    just curious if there was another way to get to lvl 4 without taking that first skill

    Oh then no, my bad I misunderstood the question. Well I suppose you could go hunting for books that increase your skills.

    You can get it leveled up by reading books throughout the world.
