Hmmm... Interesting stuff...
1) Didn't know ye could do that - skip the levelling, so as to avoid single-class restrictions. Wonder if there are other applications...?
2) Why did you have 2-h. weapons with flail? Are you playing some Mod/whatever that has Mauls?
3) This is new to me, so there may well be a better way (without skipping level-ups), but what I did was -
Dualled at 9, with 5 Profs on Staff & 2 on 2-h W. So took Dagger as a Mage - v. handy (I can shoot!) except don't have a magic weapon! Got 2nd Mage Prof. shortly before re-Kensai-ing & tried Sling (coz can't have double Profs as Mage-only & was due Staff anyway)... But (of course!) can't use missiles as a Kensai, so lost it... Re-loaded in frustration & "wasted" prof on Staff, which disappears when K. again - no 6 profs, alas!
If I did it again, I'd pro'lly take Staff for 1st Mage prof, so as to be able to use my old magic weapon from the start, then dagger. But that still wastes one...
Any better ideas? Moreover, if dualling at 13*, ye'd lose *two* whole profs...
BTW, I had presumed the whole idea of "Darth Maul" was coz one couldn't use non-Mage weapons after switching - but that is evidently not the case.
Am surprised to realise that specialising from the start is theoretically *less* efficient! But it avoids putting profs into skills which may later be neglected and allows the use of really powerful weapons (eg. Staff of Magi - slurp!) which are otherwise under-used by non-specialists.
BTW, BTW, Staff may only do 1-6 compared to, say, 3-18 for 2-h Swd, but it's the "extras" that really matter. Just being a 2-handed weapon is the main thing - those frequent Criticals are just gorgeous & by the Gods you're fast!
B.
* = which I think I'd go for, since I always go the full ToB & expect a lvl 9 fighter will look a bit lame by the end. But it looks to be hard work getting K-again in SoA & this *is* supposed to be *fun*...!
