so i just started playing and honestly everything in the skill tree looks like a foreign language to me. I chose Openclaw because people said they hit hard but now I'm looking at all these options and I feel like I'm already ruining my character before I even get started. like, am I supposed to put points into the Bleed stuff or is Raw Impact better if I just want to kill things fast? i was thinking maybe I should take that Swipe move but then there is another one called Gash and they both sound the same to me lol.
my logic was that more speed equals more damage but then I read a post saying speed doesnt matter without power? im so confused and kinda worried i wasted my points already. I only have about 2 hours a night to play after work and I really want to catch up to my buddies who are doing the level 30 raids this weekend while I'm still struggling with basic mobs in the starting forest area.
does anyone know what the actual best skills are for just pure damage? like no defense or healing just straight up hitting stuff as hard as possible. sorry if this is a dumb question but I have no idea what I'm doing and I really dont want to have to restart my character from scratch because I picked the wrong buttons...

Honestly, the skill descriptions in this game are pretty poorly written, so I get the confusion. Unfortunately, the speed builds people talk about are mostly a trap for new players. I tried a high-speed Bleed build last week and it was really disappointing. The damage over time just doesnt tick fast enough to beat raw impact on normal mobs. You end up wasting time waiting for them to die when you could have just smashed them. If you want pure DPS to catch up for those level 30 raids, you need to ignore the Swipe tree entirely. Its just not as good as expected for burst. Here is what you actually need:
- Focused Gash: Take this over Swipe. The scaling is 2.5x better once you hit level 15.
- Crushing Blow: This is your bread and butter. High raw impact.
- Blood Surge: Only take one point here to trigger the attack speed buff, dont max it.
- Kinetic Link: Essential for chaining hits. Speed without power is basically just tickling the enemies. I had issues with my clear times until I swapped my gear and focused on raw power stats. Also, if you are struggling with the timing of these combos, having a responsive setup is basically mandatory. I use the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL OmniPoint 2.0 Switches and the adjustable actuation helps me hit those Gash windows perfectly. Stop worrying about defense, just pump everything into the Impact nodes or you wont hit those raid requirements by the weekend. Its a steep learning curve but impact is the only way to go right now.

Like someone mentioned, Lunge is a trap! Shred has amazing 240% scaling. Use SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Keyboard for that 0.1mm actuation and youll totally crush those raids!!

What's your current crit rate? Avoid the Lunge skill tho, the animation lock is a death sentence in raids.
- Primal Instinct
- Maul Try those instead.
