best way to spend skill points on cutlaass upgrades

[Basil Dreadflint]

I agree with Zep. I save as many of my skill points as possible. 1 point in each attack, 2 maximum. Even broadsides only gets 2 points per side. I do use the passives that give me increased health, recovery rate, etc.

When Purvis reached level 40, he was still getting over 400 points per kill off of Tim Dartan. He had about 86 unspent skill points when he mastered all weapons.

I did the same with Lars, and he had 94 unspent skill points when he full mastered.

It lets you get the max rep for each kill, and it also means that you are reaching full master level with your skills at the equivalent level of of 14 or 15, not 25.

The downside is that you will have a harder time with each enemy. Higher possibility of losing and going to jail. I think there is more "Skill" in trying to master when your pirate is fighting at a level much lower than he is in reality.
