What skills do you guys take?

I'm just curious as to what skills people take, and when they usually take them. Here is what I do:

Infantry Engie:
Revive-->Speed (I know I *should* get repair, but it's annoying to play without speed upgrade :\)-->Repair-->HP up/Accuracy. Sometimes, I'll interchange speed and repair depending on the situation; if I'm defending, I'll take repair, and if we're attacking, I take speed second.

Vehicle Engie:
Repair-->Vehicle cooling-->Speed--> HP Regen.

Infantry Grenadier:
Speed-->HP Up-->From most common to least common: Accuracy/HP Regen/Ammo upgrade-->From most common to least common: Ammo upgrade/HP Regen/Armor Detection/Defusal

Vehicle Grenadier:
Armor Detection-->Defusal-->Increased Armor-->Speed/HP regen

Rifleman:
Speed-->HP Up-->Dig in (For Microcrouching)-->Accuracy/Damage Increase (Rare)

Vehicle Rifleman:
Vehicle damage-->Speed (for stickying tanks)-->Ammo Up (for more stickies)-->HP up

Scout:
Speed-->HP UP-->Accuracy/Hide (rare)-->HP Regen

Vehicle Scout:
Vehicle Speed-->Radar Stealth-->Speed-->HP UP

 

Always speed, unless engineer (revive or build) depending on squad.

If driving always a vehicle perk (defusal, cooling, speed or damage) all of which make a noticeable difference.

 

In order of slots used

Engineer:
Repair | LVL3 | Revive | Speed(or Aim)

Scunt(smg2):
Hide <- title duh? | Ammo | Speed(or Aim) | Radar Stealth

Grenadier:
(Defuse | Ammo) swappable | Speed | HP

 

24/7 engy bitches.

On pubs, I like to take repair, then revive, then health upgrade, then whatever (regen, speed, turret, aim, etc)

On a more disciplined game, it varies a ton. I typically find myself going for speed to grab territory and then revive to keep it.

 

As engineer, I usually go revive / repair > repair / revive (this depends on map, mostly revive first) > sprint > anything that fits the situation.

Any other class, it's always ammo > sprint / defusal (if vehicles at this stage) > HP regen (if no medics) > anything that fits the situation.

Other than that, I tend to use the skills that help me adapt with the combat. Varies from map to map too much to pinpoint which skills I use.

 

@ Viro and Spartacus; why would you guys ever take repair skill first? Spartacus's build is a bit more understandable, because he at least gets revive at 10 points, but Viroman, you seriously don't have revive until 30 points in?

 

With repair on a pub, you can get 10 points pretty quick by building early refs/raxes/vfs. Before that, you have to remember that it's a pub, so you don't sweat it if you can't revive some noob.

If I'm working in a squad in a more serious match, I typically take revive or I make sure other squad mates have revive so I can build our rax/armories with repair.

 

Well, to be fair, I do take repair until I get the forward rax up, and then switch out to revive.

I find that it's much easier to reach 10 points with revive, but I guess I see your point.

 

Now I know who to talk shit about ,when its the 20th game in a row i die on the front and noone has fucking rev.
Revs during first few minutes=serious business.

 

If I take revive, there's no way I can get a rax up by myself (and I can't count on any help in a pub), so I have to be damn good at reviving noobs that die out in the middle of the battlefield and other bullshit. I'm just not a good enough player to be a good substitute for a functioning rax.

 

THIS, and I am tired of wasting my time on a rax all by myself while other people who have revive go by me. F U engies with revive who won't build.

 

It depends on the map. If I' know that I'm going to be building a barracks before reaching the front line, I get repair. If I know I'm going to hit the front line before a barracks goes down, I get revive. Once that barracks is up, I get revive unless I know I'm going to be building more shit.

Then I get the other ability > speed > health or turret.

Gren: Speed > Health. With enemy tanks on the ground, I'll get Detection and then Ammo. If I'm in a tank, Armor instead of ammo. If there's a strong mine chance, Defusal instead of health. On an infantry map, I'll get melee and defusal or melee and ammo, depending on the situation.

Rfile/Scout: Suck with both of them, almost never use them.

 

engy- repair-revive-speed-lvl3
gren-speed-armor detection/melee-ammo-or a combo, I dunno whatever i need at the time i swap.
roflwhore- accuracy-damage-ammo-speed
scunt- speed/hide-melee-enhanced senses-ammo ^

 

Lately I've kind of stopped playing with Speed upgrade as much as I used to. I've found that I'd prefer to take another skill and try managing my stamina more efficiently. I guess my style of play has been influenced by Arma/DayZ a lot, I'm finding that I use cover a lot more effectively now.

 

Engy:
Infantry combat is important (xroads etc)
Rev->Repair Up->Speed/Acc->Turret upg
Infantry combat is not as important (duststorm etc)
Repair->Acc->Speed->Revive/Turret upg
Commander build (I rarely play commander but it happens)
Repair->Health->Regen->Turret Upgrade
Lets me build shit fast, and survive sneak attacks on me because I have extra HP and regen in the CV.

I lone wolf a lot on bigger maps grabbing refineries and harassing as engineer so I don't need revive.

Gren
Speed->Accuracy->Health->Regen
Defusal replaces my least important skill when required.
Ammo upgrade rarely, mainly when I'm on mine duty. I tend to die before I run out of ammo as grenadier (intentionally, it's better to be aggressive and use every round I have available to deal damage than it is to be defensive and not deal as much damage as I could)
I'd use ammo upgrade more if it gave me bonus ammo on spawn.

Rifleman
Tanky build
Accuracy->Health->Regen->Digin
Aggressive build
Speed->Accuracy->Health->Regen or Stam upg

Scout
Rifle Build
Speed->Accuracy->Stam upg->Regen
High mobility and I engage at super long range, regen lets me keep fighting at long distance, where getting hit is rare so I can shrug off an extra bullet or two over the course of a long fight.
Harass build
Speed->Senses->Accuracy->Regen
For sabbing bases and lone refineries. I'll put hide on instead of senses if I need to kill a turret farm but other than that I don't use hide.

 

Engineer:
Repair upgrade--change-> Revive(1st) --> Repair upgrade(2nd skill)-->Health upgrade --> Vehicle Cooling or Accuracy upgrade

Repair upgrade--> Revive --> Health upgrade --> Vehicle cooling.

Vehicle cooling sucks, but it's the only useful skill at that time.
(infantry map)
Revive-->Speed upgrade->Heal upgrade -> Health upgrade


Rifleman:
Health upgrade(accuracy upgrade) -> Accuracy upgrade(Health upgrade) --> Ammo upgrade --> Speed upgrade

Ammo upgrade --> Speed upgrade -->Health upgrade --> Accuracy upgrade

Grenadier:
Speed upgrade-->Health upgrade -> Ammo upgrade(Defusal) --> Defusal(Ammo upgrade)

Speed upgrade -change-> Armor detection -> Defusal --> armor increase(only useful in late game)-->Ammo upgrade


I evolved this shit continuously in the past 6 years.
Also this is just for reference, still situation dependent.
Though some are not, if you don't go Rep/Rev as Engi 1st/2nd skill, I would never want to work with you.
