Priority Skills in random order
1. Magic Mastery [HIGH PRIORITY]
2. Int Mastery [HIGH PRIORITY]
3. Smash Mastery (Requires Combat Mastery) [HIGH PRIORITY]
4. Blink Mastery [Medium Priority]
5. SP:Insane Reaper is nice but situational [Medium Priority but help you solo better]
6. Mark of Death useful but gets useless once you hit 40 for Bloody Thread [Low Priority, get E or D at most]
7. Bloody Threads [Max asap or till 4 targets allowed] [Level 40]
8. Golem Mastery / Alchemy Create Golem [Level 42] [Max asap to help solo]
9. Mana Pistol [Helps for soloing, max asap too]
10. SP:Reverse Gravity [Max out]
11. Combat Mastery [Luxury, but max out]
12. Cloth/Light Armor [As needed only]
13. Scythe mastery [As needed only]
14. Magic Crit mastery [MAX OUT]
15. All the other crap is up to you. Some say not to touch Critical Mastery and frankly, I agree. I've noticed that crit'ing a mob in boat 6 doesnt apply my magic damage so they literally get knocked away taking physical damage which is weak. This allows them to get distance and be annoying as hell.
Scythes rely on smashes, nothing else. And at level 24 when I got my first scythe, I noticed huge burst damage from maxing magic mastery + int mastery. It really helped escape the pre-vamp staff evie stages.
