    Venomous Scarab ,Ironwood Scarab scarab of choice,heal pet,metabolic boost,natures grace and soul transfusion are most common.

    It depends on what you are going to do be nuking veno or werefox.
    Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.

    read the guides, tis what they were made for

    quite surprised your 47 and asking this now O.o

    one obvious thing though - keep your pet heal maxed, obvious reasons, keep your pet alive.

    Most Veno's don't get FF skills unless they're LA/HA/PvP.
    Don't stare at me like that, I just might like it.

    You should get at least one level of Leech because it will make surviving certain AOEs trivial. e.g. Cube room 6. Without Leech, you're going to burn a ton of pots staying alive there if you're level 40-60.

    Priority on venomous and ironwood, those will be your main attacks.

    I solo a lot of bosses/TTs, so pet heals are my next priority. They occur every 10 levels on the _3 levels, e.g. 53, 63, 73; so when you're almost to that certain level, keep that in mind and save a little spirit for them.

    The rest of the skills are listed in no particular priority, and some are just tips.

    If you plan to PvP, Lucky Scarab is a nice skill for interrupting, it does nice damage, but a bit costly on the MP side for PvE. I spam mine cause i got lots of pots S:.

    I wouldn't place too much emphasis on AoE skills, unless you have a herc for AoE grinding. Parasitic nova is an ok PvP skill; it's a long stun if it works, but unlike other classes' 2 spark skills, Parasitic Nova doesn't hit that much harder compared to lucky/ironwood scarab.

    Blazing Scarab is a waste imo, but if you have the extra spirit/coins, why not.
    Freezing scarab is a waste of a spark, get it if you want, but I'd rather save the spark.

    For foxform curses, get Purge (almost exclusive to PvP, but very deadly), Amplify Damage, and stop right there, the other skills are a bit pointless until you get the sage/demon versions; unless you have the luxury of having extra coins/spirit.

    For fox attacks, I'd get Fox Wallop and Befudding Mist to lv1, so I can unlock Stunning Blow; anything further on the trees are kinda a waste. Leech and the Consume Spirit are not really worth it to be practical. If you don't plan on Stunning Blow, don't bother with the fox form attacks at all, just stick to curses. I use stunning blow vs mobs that kite me, so I find it useful.

    If you'll be playing with charms, make sure not to level the corresponding hp/mp recovery skills to lv10, save the extra coins/spirit for other skills.

    Don't level up tame beast too many times if you're not going to tame rare pets or the such, its a good pulling skill, but very costly on the MP side if you level it up. I know you can pull with a pet, but I'm a herc veno and I'm too lazy to resummon and rebuff <_<.

    Don't forget summer sprint + fox form, there's only 3 levels of them before 89.

    Max bramble so you can get bramble hood, while the reflection effect doesn't work in PvP, it works in duels, and the reduction in damage is a good life saver if you get ganked by melee attackers.

    If you don't really use a certain skill, don't level it up, save the coins/spirit, you'll need it later. When you get the spare resources, don't forget wood mastery.

    Lending hand is a must if you want to play support, although there's only 1 level of it, so not much to say about that.

    QQ, tl;dr

    I like Consume spirit+Leech...Makes you much more mp efficent soloing bosses, I can do a lot of my bosses without having to natures grace/transfusion with consume spirit and leech...
    Stunning blow is nice I find especially for fb79 which Im starting to do more often for BH, saves parties when the mobs might run into the next group.
    And in TT 1-x with the archer mobs.
    Befuddling mist is meh, It reduces reflect damage so I dont use it much
    Its an AoE though, even though it doesnt say, so I guess it could have its uses.
    You have to get it to unlock other moves though.

    ok well these r the skills u should max out as soon as possible in my opinion:

    Heal Pet
    Venomous Scarab
    Ironwood Scarab
    Wood Mastery
    Bramble Guard (this is the reason why melee classes want u ^^)
    Lucky Scarab
    Noxious Gas

    U should at least get most of the veno skills and fox form skills to lvl 1 or 2. Purge and Amplify Damage is two of ur main skills u should get for fox form. U need these skills if u want to start doing territory wars when higher lvl. b:laugh

    Then they are fail, and should probably be booted from squads for things such as FF, FB, TT, etc. I am pure mag veno and love my FF skills.
    Be kind: Help the GMs to depopulate the servers.
