For stats, Scouts work differently.
DEX, CON, SEN, where DEX gives the most AP, to SEN with the least.
DEX being the main stat will give you access to weapons, high dodge and attack power.
CON will also boost your attack power fairly good, where the accuracy is necessary to an extent.
SEN however is mainly for criticals, and boosts your attack power the least to near insignificant.
Common:
Sprint: Required to access Rapid Twitch
Rapid Twitch: Gives 50% movement speed buff, which is the best movement speed buff a class has access to. (equivalent of boosters)
Quick Reflexes: 20% more dodge passive, this also helps you reach beyond the 4k dodge region.
Combat Mastery: More attack speed which is a passive.
Second Sight: Decloak stealth characters (Raiders or other scouts)
Requiem: Required to get the Accuracy Passive.
Since I assume you do not need the Bow Tree, I'll skip to the Scout Tree.
Scout:
Camouflage: Level 1 minimum to Level 2 maximum ideally.
Poison Arrow: As you increase the poison arrow to level 9, the poison dealt over time is increased as well as an increased success rate.
Point Blank Arrow: This skills is fairly risky, as a scout you're lowering your range to a minimum to where other classes might attack you, it's effective on lower defence classes.
Phoenix Arrow: Personally this is one of the best damaging skills of the scout, reason being that it is a Reliable Magic Attack, which is vs against Mdef or Magic Defence. Champs in particular have low magic defence which you can easily deal 2k damage to them where as Point Blank in comparison may deal 500s.
Entangling Arrow: Another handy skill and supportive skill to some degree, when PvPing other high dodge classes, the -36% dodge down is extremely handy in addition to -80% movement speed down. The only problem is the duration's length, but still it gives you time to slow opponents down before they can come within range.
Impact Arrow: This skill is 50-50, I have known some players who love it, whilst others do not want to waste that amount of skill points for it. Reason is that both Impact and Stun arrows share the same cooldown.
Although Stun Arrow has a much shorter cooldown, it has a very low attack power as to 10% lower chance of succeeding.
Backpack Training, perhaps +1 is enough, it is heavy in points where you need 9 to max it out.
As for HP/MP recovery don't invest too much as you mainly need to pot food to recover quick enough in general.
A side note, see if you have enough points to get Mirror Phantasm which is located on the Melee tree, this is helpful when buffing up with a 35% increase on dodge buff. (use dual swords to buff up)
Scouts in general have dodge as their main defence, followed by their movement speed, (where movement speed down skills come into play followed by camouflage).
this is my first char in Rose and I've had difficulty finding a guide that suits me. Just turned into a Scout and I would appreaciate some help with skill priorities.
should i max?
