Another Training help thread

[pREDDY]

So, i've recently returned to GS4 like many others and i can't quite remember my training path for my empath. I have a lot of unused TPs and i'm not sure where to use em. I do plan to heal, but its a secondary function to being able to hunt. i don't really intend to bolt at all(thats what my wizard is for.)

I'm currently level 46.

from the looks of it, i seem undertrained in MjS and MnS although i'm not really sure what i'm going to gain from further training those. lores seem to be relatively nonexistant. i'm overtrained in HP for a larger mana pool which i don't think i'll be training any more of until i hit level 80 and then continue as 1x -1.

thanks in advance for the help

One great thing about empaths is the ability to triple train in Physical Fitness, which is your primary skill for SMR (maneuver) defense. If you have extra points now, and do plan to hunt regularly, I'd go ahead and pick up 2x PF.

[lexbubba]

I would drop to 1x-1 HP (you are paying a ton for 1 mana each rank after that), 1x FA (I haven't found a need for more). Instead you can use these points to get your empath spell ranks up higher to improve cs, get a bit of lore, and 2x pf. What society are you in? If gos, I would aim for blessing lore for stamina recovery with 1107.

[pREDDY]

i'm in COL currently, half my characters are in GoS and i wanted something different. i kinda just 2x'd FA cause it was cheap and COL, and as you can see, a ton of unused TPs.

[Velfi]

If you don't care about bandaging people or foraging, I would drop the FA altogether, and drop the HP down to 1x, and probably drop the MMC down some too as it's not a lot of benefit when you can use the TPs elsewhere, like for your spell ranks.

edit: Also, 2x PF at minimum (3x is better), given its cost and utility.

[pREDDY]

thanks for the suggestions so far. i've 2x'd PF, haven't dropped anything, i still have 200+ unused TPs. lol

should i just pump more empath spell ranks for the CS?

Have you considered spell aim for 111 and web bolt?

[pREDDY]

[Taernath]

Have you considered spell aim for 111 and web bolt?

[pREDDY]
