Hello experts,


since I more or less messed up my first and main char, when I started with STO, I am thinking of respec its skills now.

When I started this toon, I maxed out almost every skill I thought to be usefull. Which left me with a few skills on maximum and a lot of skills with 0 points. When reading http://sto.perfectworld.com/news/?p=861531 I began to rethink my balancing and limit the point-spending to a max of 6.

Generally speaking you’ll want to put a maximum of 6 points (also called levels) unless you absolutely need to put more. The reason is due to something called “diminishing returns.” This means that the more points you put in, the less of a bonus each point is worth. The first 3 points of a skill will give you a +18 bonus for a total of 54. The next 3 points give a +10 bonus for a total of 30. The final 3 points give a +5 bonus for a total of 15. As you can see, the bonus drops every 3 points. The last 3 points give a very small bonus (+15) which won’t make a huge difference. By saving those 3 points, you can put them someplace else that would be more helpful to you.

So here is my new approach (I only maxed Space Weapon Spec and Driver Coils.):

What are your experiences in this matter. Love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks in advance.
