This is a suggestion, and in serious need of feedback as i don't do PvP

I am fairly ok with ChS and it's synergies, i assume this includes maxing LF? Some pvp zons don't use Valk at all, but some have 1 point in her so they can cast one if needed, the Slow Missiles is a must i assume, so it's whether to add to decoy/Valk? And i assume one in CS/Pene/Pierce is ok?

Also what about the P&M tree? One in each sound ok as a base, i know the D/A/E tends to get pumped quite high.

The reason i ask these questions is that i am making Megamek's Zon for him, as part of a leveling trade, and atm i am going base everything, with no skill points spent, and it would ofc make my job easier if i could spend some stat points.

I have permission to invest in Vita and Dex (for max block) - tho dunno what shield mega plans on using, my guess would be SS, but either way i assume i can safely spend 109 in dex so i can level her using titans.

FYI she is level 15 atm - just starting Act2

Well i'll go ahead and post what i'd do if it were up to me to spend the skill points:

J&S
Jab: 1 point
Poison Javelin: 1 point
Plague Javelin: 1 point
Power Strike: 1 point
Lightning Fury: max
Charged Strike: max
Lightning Bolt: max

P&M
Inner Sight: 1 point
Slow Missiles: 1 point
Dodge: 1 point
Evade: 1 point
Avoid: 1 point ==> from what i have read, getting D/A/E all up to at least 50% is the way to go, but most of this will come from +skills.
Critical Strike: 1 point
Penetrate: 1 point
Pierce: 1 point ==> CS/Pene/Pierce are for PvM i think, not sure if they have use in PvP, obviously they would make leveling easier for me but i wouldn't want to spend the points if they were a waste as far as PvP is concerned - opinions would be nice.

Thats a total of 69 (or 72) skill points, and that will leave you a decent amount of skill points spare to customise her after you have PvP'd with her.

lmk what u think mega as she is lvl 40 now, with Base Str and Dex, and i she has 100 in vita, tho i will put some points into Dex when she is lvl 42 so i can atleast use titans.

finally found a PvP based L zon guide:

Seems i wasn't so far off the mark, but if i had just followed Hardcore Virus's advise i could have saved myself a lot of hassle.

Mega thats what i WILL follow unless you have any alternative plans?
