Your favorite skillcombinations

Just as some examples, especially for noobs.
Think, some use the same combination over and over again, don't seeing, that there are more very useful.

Scout:
Hide + Ammo + Regen + ? = This one is meant to survive a long time without any support behind enemy lines

Engineer:
On Flagmaps: Revive + Turret + Repair + Regen = Revive for getting fast new ranks, repair to build up your level 3 turrets fast
On Basemaps: Repair + Turret + Speed + ? = Helps build up your Base at the beginning fast, then having good turrets until Commander puts down his and speed to get fast from one buildind that need repair to another

Riflemen:
Accuracy + Ammo + Health + Regen = A long living death against enemy infantry

Grenadier:
Well, I havent played Grenadier enough to say, whats really good.

And what would you choose?

 

We've been putting a lot of this stuff in the wiki, it's got practically a whole dissertation on skills.

quick note, when as the rifleman, I like to go with dig-in instead of regen. More HP means more chance of living through ONE battle. I can always get an engie later. Also I don't really use the ammo upgrade, I use increased damage. If I get low, I just fall back.

Here's one I thought of but haven't tried, that might be fun. Scout; Hide+Melee Upgrade + Speed Upgrade + Weapons Silencer.

Hide and Speed will make sure you move quickly and quietly, and the melee upgrade means you can kill someone in one or two hits, and REMAIN cloaked, and the weapons silencer means no one will have any idea wtf happened.

 

Grenadier should get increased ammo 99% of the time.

 

sidenote: ALL offensive engineers should have revive as first skill, all defensive repair, this REALLY depends on the map.

Crossroads and errr small map, i always call it duststorm even though i know that's not it... small and dark... anyways, theese two are great examples of when almost all engineers should go with revive, even from start. All you really do is throw up a few refineries, wait for radar and then get lvl3's anyway plus the map which i fail to remember the name on has like 80 tickets per team so....

Maps like canyon and REAL duststorm repair until you get all the refs you want and can hold safely and a few fwd barracks and *poof* switch to revive and attack. A well coordinated team of a few engineers can take out pretty much anything except a whole squad of riflemen at once, or (a) tank(s).

 

I usually just take what I need most at the moment, so I'm always thinking about if I take a skill, what use it would have for me at that time and adapt to that.

But I do have some favourite combinations:

scout: enhanced senses - speed upgrade - silencer - melee skill (in a more serious game, instead of melee skill i take hide)

riflemen: speed upgrade - accuracy - damage - dig in

grenadier: ammos - armor detection - defusal - feedback

engineer - repair upgrade - vehicle cooling - revive - heal upgrade/regen (depends on if theres lots of teamwork)

engineer one is ofcourse when im playing a classic match, and would be replaced for level3 turrets on conquer maps.
Another note is that I usually do try to fit in speed upgrade in there if the game allows me to.

 

You have to remember, RPG, that these are inexperienced players that need a hard and fast rule to know when to take what skill-- I'd say repair/revive is a good rule of thumb until they figure more stuff out.

Also, that scout skill set sounds hillariously awesome, even more so then the skillset i suggested. I'm TOTALLY trying that out next time I scout.

 

Badland?

 

Aye, that's it :D

 

So, from now on, you'll never ever forget it's name again :D

 

it got cut from the play list

 

That's because it runs like shit and Gobanzo Man disappeared a long time ago.

Plus it was kinda ugly.

 

god, I've always hated that map.

 

Aw, it was a perfect map for few people

Tho i've learned to hate the buggers who snipe from the cliffs

 

and the cactus

glad to see it gone though

 

a gren ninja MUST have ammos upgrade, other wise he will be short a few mines.

 

In the order I get them for engie:

Urban maps: Turret + Revive + Repair + Heal
Open maps: Repair + Turret + Revive + Heal

 

The skill that heals you slowly over time kicks ass for engies. With that skill, they can both heal themselves and get ammo. Great for behind enemy lines crap

 

I find that to be waaay too slow for me. Maybe I'm just a horrible ninja.

 

I never get turret before repair... the idea of making a level 3 without repair seriously scares me.

 

it should
