passives or morphs first?

Mhylton44142 · December 2015

Playing a new dark elf DK. more important to unlock morphs first or the passives (medium armor, 2H/DW, racials) with some early skill points? I'm playing a melee DPS with 5 medium and 2 heavy. Weapon choices are 2H/DW. Thanks for your input.

Whilst you're playing look at what areas you're struggling with and pick up the skills which effect/fix that most first.

If you're not using part of a skill line (say sneaking in medium armour) then don't pick it up right away.

Couldn't agree more with this and would also recommend following this advice.

When I first started playing, I struggled in the same way. Couldn't decide, which to place skill points into first. After a couple days of not using any skill points, I decided I would place points into passives for skills that were allowing me to use said skills more frequently or effectively, then morph skills I was using and knew I would be using long term.

I didn't bother leveling other skills I knew I wouldn't use until after I hit v16. By then, I had (still have) plenty of skill points left over and just grind out those skills while farming Tel Var Stones or other items. Once those skills are leveled, I respec to refund those skill points (gets expensive, but I like having everything maxed out for versatility).
