Leveling Question

[another pirate]

Thanks Angel & TobiasOhawk.

So activating a skill does use a point. The point going into the first dot of the activated skill.

So in the case of Cutlass, you would have 26 dots after activating the skills you choose and placing the remaining points to level the skills up.

(24 points for leveling plus the dot you get in hack and the dot in slash at lvl 1)

OK. So far, so good.

So the combo skills look to be fairly simple to me. From what I can tell, the higher level combo skills give you the most damage. In order to get to that higher damage skill, you have to pass through all the lower level ones you activate by completing the combo in combat.

Does the damage simply stack or is it multiplied in some way by the number of combo hits you make? I think it just adds up without some mulitplier but I am not sure.
