I've edited the original question since I posed it a couple days ago and moved on... I'm level 30ish now...
I'm a Duel Wielding... Dark Elf... Dragon Knight... level 30
1. Is it smart to have a ton of passive abilities since we only have limited space for active abilities?
2. I am a stamina based player, so is it common sense for me to use a bow rather than a staff for a ranged weapon? I have a ton of stamina/health points, few magica.
3. I've noticed that I die rather quickly... Lower level players kick more butt than me and die less...
To what extent do these reason contribute:
A) I'm currently 15 stamina, 13 health and 2 magica.

I have 14 unused skill points in the bank.
C) I have only one defensive active ability. (in fact, I only have purchased 7 active abilities not including ultimate...)
thanks
