A question regarding the skills that a brigand has

[Faswojo]

<p>I noticed that when i look at my skills, under aggression there is something thats called focus.....Which on my brigand is at 16 which is low but I am not sure if focus is that big a deal for a brigand....Is that more for spellcasters? Im level 37 now  and my strength and agility are 8/8 and I have walk the plank but I am curious as to how important the stamina tree is for me? And when should I start putting points under the brigand skills as opposed to the rogue skills....To me it seems as if the rogue skills at least at the start are much better. Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p><p>Thanks</p>

Focus is the skill that allows you to prevent beeing interupted while casting spells...but cas can't be interupted from normal damage so for a brigand it's used when:You're casting gate.Use some items with a casting time (not all of them).Harvest a node or collect a shiny.an easy way to practice it if you want is find a big  green con encounter with triple arrows down and cast gate while they're attacking you while not engaging combat...they'll interupt you a LOT and thus your skill will go up very fast.

I just tend to harvest even when being attacked and move on... around low greens mostly. It still adds up. I'm about halfway to my max right now.
