Personal Training
Many of the new soldiers without battlefield experience often have
problems training their skills to a sharp enough point that the harsh environment
that Rubi-Ka demands. This area is devoted to helping such soldiers
in their personal training efforts. Contained are tables detailing
the core soldier skills as well as breed maxes for those skills. Secondary
skills are also available. Study wisely young grasshopper..
*All numbers based on level 200 with maxed abilities. As
far as I can tell they are accurate.*
*THIS IS ONLY FOR LEVEL 1-200. IT IS NOT ACCURATE FOR
SHADOWLANDS.*

Primary Core Skills
These are the most commonly raised and useful skills to a soldier. While
all are useful, you have to choose carefully. IP at lower levels is hard
to come by. Later on you'll have plenty of IP to spend around.

Tips
Just a couple things to help you out so your skill choices will be as good
as possible
- Have a plan. Have a plan on what kind of soldier you want to be and
stick to things as close to that plan as possible in the early going. If
your planning on being a rifle soldier, don't go pumping up skills like
fling/burst/full auto so you can alpha monsters. For what you get out of
it, its not worth it and there are better places to spend IP.
- Although the numbers here for skills arn't all that different for the various
breeds, remember that the 15 pts an atrox is short in nano skills means he
has to wait until Tl 6 to case his best nano programs.
- If you don't care if your using the absolute best nanos or about looks.
Pick Atrox. The extra health you will enjoy.
- If you want to be proficient in everything (as well as look uber :P) pick
solitus. They have no real problems to deal with.
- If you want the best weapon skills and highest attack rating for many types
of weapons, pick Opifex.
- If you want lots of nano and nano skills pick Nanomage. You'll be able
to cast everything easier and earlier (especially with shades/vests/etc)
at the cost of HP.
- Make a plan. Its important so I listed it twice. No point wasting IPR points
if you don't have to. Never know when you'll need them.
