another way to back up what i'm saying is to search through EF hard enough.. you'll eventually come across a few threads (one which i wrote myself asking) if its more worthwhile not to dabble before u unlock eg coolness. eg i'm lvl 20 laser sniper, lvl 0 everything else. i wana skill up to get me some hp. should i go over to melee and get the easy gains now? or should i wait untill i hit lvl 40 laser sniper and then switch over, as i'd get more gains then wouldn't i?
answer is it don't make no difference. you'd gain the same skill either way, it'd just all come at different times. |
Actually, if I understand Doer's
scanning experiment correctly, unlocked skills are not "on top off" but really do "water down" the gains from the other skills. If you do not have all the unlocks yet, such that you can only gain in 86% of the skills, you get about 116% volume in those skills to compensate.
However, some of the unlockable skills are much more useful, at least for hunting, as they raise health and/or defense quite a bit. I'd personally be willing to sacrifice some LWT gains and replace them with Commando ones
