Anyone else notice this? i am 2 skills away from having 2 decks complete yet my skills aren't even 10 for my first deck.

Warlock deck completed

hammer 10

Chaos 5

All talismans 10

Puritan Deck 2 Skills away from completetion

Shotgun 0

Hammer 10

all talismans 10

For me its the other way around ;)

0 decks completed and skills AR, Elemental, Swords, all talismans filled...

Id advice you to look outside of the decks as they are just clothes and a guideline :P

I agree with Chtuga. I am close to finishing Chaos and Hammers, plus all of the Talismans. But yet to complete one deck , I am close however.

Hmmm...

If that's the case then there's a bit of a problem with the vertical progression of going for a deck and nothing but the deck.

I've meandered all over the skill wheel mixing and matching with total disregard for decks: a hefty dose of horizontal progression. For my play style I haven't felt any imbalance and I have all the weapons I use (AR, Blade, Ele, Blood) in my different builds as well as all my talismans where they should be.

I can't say I'm too surprised though since decks were added relatively late in the development cycle. AP and SP gains are not balanced around them.

The decks really exist for two reasons

1. Give new players overwhelmed by the wheel a way to find a synergestic build

2. A multislot clothing piece for competing the deck

They aren't meant to be the best or more synergestic builds in the game.. just a guide line.

For example I think the Warrior deck for Dragon has horrible abilities but I still made a shot/AR build for the synergies.

It depends if you're buying both tracks of the weapon skills or not. After my first playthrough I found there's really no point to doing that. If you're playing a tank then get only the survivability lines, if dps then the damage lines. When I finished Preacher I'd bought both lines of both Sword and Blood as well as the Talismans and then realised I had a long way to go before I got any points to build the other skills up to scratch. It's at that point I realised I didn't need to have put the points in where I did. That's basically why I restarted, so I could give myself more freedom without having to grind for days to get more skill points.
