<p>Hey guys i need some help with my achievements. What tree should i put my points into,ill be mostly soloing through the game  n PVPing too (i play on Nagafen).</p><p>Also Crusader tips aswell thnx.</p>

Well, for soloing, the reaver spells are awesome as they increase or add HP taps to your spells.  Definitely max the Harm Touch line with a life leech and infernal blessing line with extra HP gained (probably the most reliable way to get HP back up soloing).The other two trees are decent, but I think you'll use the reaver tree much more often for your gameplay style... especially in PvP.For the Crusader line, I would say the INT line is the best no matter what you do.  Increased spell crit and increased heal crit are just too good.  The stamina line is also a good choice for soloing, but the faster you kill stuff the better off you are.  Both of these are also PvP friendly, especially on one-on-one fights.The str line is... ok, but you just don't use melee haste that much as a SK.  The reuse timer reduction is ok, but still INT seems to be the best line for SKs right now.  Wis, you probably won't ever use, as it is mostly group buffs, increased hate gain, better spell mitigation, etc (good for groups and raiding mostly).  Agil is only good if you are on a horse constantly, and even so... it doesn't really provide that much more DPS as the INT line would.

The increased crit chance already affects the heal crit. I read somewhere they didn't stack, but I never checked to verify.

So I just returned after 1.5 years off.  When I left Wis. was supposedly the way to go.  Is there a way to "undo" the points I put in the Wis. line and put them in the Int. line?  Should I completely max out Int. or just the "minimuns" and put the rest somewhere else?  I know there are different opinions on this, but I just want a good basic answer, and don't want to have to put TOO much thought into it lol.

<p>Just like we tell every other person that asks for AA advice first and formost 4-4-8 in the int line that will get you 69% spell crit chance.</p><p>Next you get reaver.  There is no need to max the heal on the harmtouch if you are on PvE.  If you plan to PvP then max the HT heal..Reaver gets you a 25 heal every time you cast a spell.  CAs will not trigger a heal.  In return every tick you recive a 1% drain to your health.</p><p>After you get those 2 items it is truly up to you in how you speck your self.  Fro mthe diffrent SKs that post here you will get a diff spec from each one of them.  Each with its own pros and cons</p>

<p>Ty for the info, but what about "undoing" the points I spent on Wisdom?  Is that possible?  If so, how? </p>

I forget where he is exactly, but if you do a search for "respec", or "reseting your AA" on these forums, I'm sure you'll find it.
