When playing as Lucas, what are the best proficiency/talent points to have, I'm assuming that you don't get enough points to max them all.

You will be able to completely fill up 5 assuming you do everything. If you grind, you might be able to reach the 6th, but you will end the game somewhere between 25 and 30.

 

Proficiencies, I highly recommend Life Steal on Gracious Repose and Endless Wrath on Unbridled Wrath. Life Steal is really helpful to heal up in combat (especially on big AoE abilities), Endless Wrath makes the thing regenerate 300 focus total (10 per second). Between the two you have literally infinite sustainability in combat for health, power, and power orbs. As long as you have 1 Power Orb you can fully recover from 1 hit point and zero focus in a short order in the middle of a fight.

 

The rest is up to your taste. Personally, I recommend pumping Executioner's Charge on Heroic Charge and Lightning Precision on Blade Dash. Those two give you very good damage for bosses/groups and very, very good mobility.

 

All other skills are mostly offer some sort of disable either naturally, through proficiencies, and/or through being Empowered; so put points in whichever you like most. Note, both of Earthrending Strike proficiencies are rendered moot if you will want to abuse its Empowered version because it naturally has massive range and knockdown. Both of Vanguard Strike's proficiencies can also be considered moot because the Empowered Version already does knockdown and doesn't cost any focus. I would consider those two skills as expensive, slow, hard hitting nukes.

 

Wind Shear and Shield Bash can offer relatively quick AoE crowd control, though their damage is not as impressive as EarthVangStrikes and they don't offer the mobility of Charge/Dash.

 

 

Talents is easy. The entire top row is fantastic; 3 damage boosters that all 3 of Attack, Agility, and Will great for increasing Lucas's damage; the 20% chance to heal per kill talent is the perfect addition to Graceful Repose's Life Steal to allow you easy healing on the battlefield. Both Focus generating talents are fairly redundant and useless if you are using the 300 Focus generating skill buff. Trade Maser is useless, you will have far more gold than you will ever need to spend.

 

The bottom row has some decent choices. Death Defying can help you save on the reloads when you screw up, Cull the Weak is pretty good if you don't want use my suggested Charge/Dash combo, and Rejuvenation is just plain decent to speed up your healing.

I have the guide for this game,there is some custom basic builds for each character 2 for each.I can post some later which stats r best to use for the build,Best chaos addtions what points to use every level up .If anyones interested let me know it will be alot of typing though.

Im using anjali burn and ignite,does lots of magical damage but is open for being attacked.This build is focused on will and attack stats maxing .It quite challenging to say least on normal mode,I bout died vs the witch boss in the cave.

Cuz you sacfrice armor and block with equipping,for maxing out will and attack it either will or attack with some equipment.
