Why save skill points?

October 14, 2009 11:54:13 AM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

I see many builds say to save a skill point.  Why bother?

Is the point to pop them out while in the middle of a fight? Suprise?

Do you give more experience when dying if you use those skill points?  It seems like you just deny yourself a higher level ability/damage.

its to get two or more skills that you can attain only at higher level as soon as possible.

 

e.g. you have skill a and b that you can only get at level 5 or higher. when you get 5 and have already spent all your points up till now you only can get a or b and have to wait another level for the second one.

i don't think this is such a complicated thing that with a bit thinking you couldn't get the point yourself. especially not if you looked on the skills they picked in the examples your question based on.

Mercerb, consider how do you get both rank 2 ooze and rank 2 spit as Unclean beast, at level 4? Once you answer that, I think you'll figure it all out.

Why do you think they call it 'save'? you save it up and then you get 2 skills at a certain level. With rook I always want boulder roll and shoulder tower asap so I save it up. And you really dont lose that much pushing power. You just gotta level fast so this is not a problem.

OK, I get it.  Im used to Warcraft where new levels dont open up until you have enough points in a tree.

err, it is the same here. new level of a skil does not show up until you have the previous one. the point is that if you want to skill to trees (lines here) at the same time you need to safe points in between. many of the skills are only aailable every two levels.

I haven't played WoW in like 3 years, but I recall a significant difference.  In Warcraft you need X points used in total in a tree before the next tier unlocks, and has nothing to do with your actual level.  In Demigod, it is entirely level + previous skills based.  You can upgrade to level 4 requiring skills even if you do not have 3 skill points already allocated, which is the difference.
