AOC: POM skill points

Your skill point distribution will be determined by your type of server and your playstyle.
Casting Concentration - This should be maxed early on and after about level 20(AOC powerleveling, AOC gold) or 30 you only ned to put points here when you find yourself being interrupted. You will find gear that raises this skill allowing you to spend some points in other places.
Renew Mana - It takes quite a few points before the effects are very evident but it becomes quite noticable around 40 or 50 if you dont have enough. For many this will be a skill maxed every level to 80.
Mana Attractor (may be broken) - Should sometimes increase the mana regen rate. I dont keep this maxed but I do keep it high. I can tell a difference in regen rate with it vs without but some are reporting that it does not appear to do much. The skill may be bugged or due to the chance based nature of it not as effective as it should be.
Run Speed - Travel speed. For some this is extremely important. I have found others that dont put any points in it at all. Your mileage may vary.
Climb - In the Old Tarantia Nobel disrict there will be a quest in the 40s which requires 300 climb skill to complete. (this quest may be bugged) There are several quests that require climb near 200. We dont know how useful climb is going to be in the endgame but if you enjoy shortcuts this may be a skill for you.
**Perception & Hide - May be more important if you are on a PvP server.
A Note on Hide - It is not necesary to max hide if there are shadows present. They greatly reduce the skill level required to hide If you are only using this as a means to get the drop on unsuspecting players in PvP 30 points should do the trick.
Perception - there are mixed reports on how useful this skill is. if you do want to find high level sneakers you need points here so that you can search for them.
Skills that improve health or stamina regen are probably not worth investing in because you have the ability to heal these using your mana pool.
