You receive a skill point each time you advance a level (plus you'll receive more from completing particular quests, such as the Den of Evil quest in Act I). It's important to plan your skill choices ahead. Some high level skills have multiple prerequisites meaning you will have to follow two paths down the tree in order to reach that particularly skill. Further, it can be a tough decision whether or not to add multiple points into a particular skill - and how many should you add? Where you place skill points is up to you - there's no right or wrong here. Some players may prefer the fire spells over the cold and lightning spells; you may wish to get to meteor and keep pumping in the skill points. Then again, you might select the freezing benefits of cold over the damaging effects of lightning. How you place your skill points is entirely up to you, and the game can be completed no matter how you place your points - just expect a tougher or easier game depending on your selections! The following section is simply a guideline, an example of what you could choose with 30 skill points (up and beyond level 30, not including additional skill points from quests and magical items). Obviously, this isn't your only or even best choice - it's highly dependent on your personal style. There are thousands and thousands of skill combinations; this example is presented only to illustrate a style of play and examples of how skills co-exist with one another. NOTE: The plan presented below is one of thousands and thousands of potential combinations. For the most part, the plan is presented to illustrate the reasoning behind skill choices and isn't meant to be the only, the best, or even one of the best ways to spend your points. Everyone will have their personal preference - which was certainly the case around Blizzard's development offices where virtually every member of the QA team had their own personal style! Warmth - 6 points Ice bolt - 2 points Fire bolt - 1 point Charged bolt - 1 point Frozen armor - 1 point Static field - 1 point Frost nova - 1 point Ice blast - 2 points Lightning - 2 points Glacial spike - 5 points Nova - 2 points Chain lightning - 2 points Thunder storm - 2 points Blizzard - 1 point Lightning mastery - 1 point
