The ideal mod is a very cynical person who will anticipate the hate that can happen . Someone who expects worse than nothing . But it hurts me to watch mods and users alike get punished for their naivety and optimism . I hate this idea that anyone who posts online is fair game for you to harass simply because you have the ability to harass them . <| sep |> Hey ! I may or may not be able to correctly answer your questions . If you click on the sign like you were about to upgrade it , you ' ll be able to see which stats are increasing with the level up . Those increase tends to be static , meaning if your skill goes from 50 % 100 to 50 % 200 , that 50 % is NOT going to randomly increase when you rank that skill up even further . So if it ' s the static portion of your skill that is increasing , its better to not invest in that skill . Summon and Buff skills will be similarly worded , but the % will increase , usually by 10 % Shield increase such as Loki , will increase in both # of hit guarded and in duration . If youre asking about a compilation of skills thats good to increase , I believe there is a list out there , but it ' s safe to assume that most Damaging skills wo component of Buff will only give increase to the Static portion . While most ShieldBarrierSummonBuff will provide you with better return through increase in Duration or %. The ONLY exception to this is I believe Clea ' s shield . Which does NOT give you an increase in Duration . While I don ' t have the data for all characters , generally damaging skills with lower % damage gives you more damage increase for your buck . That said , if you cant Barely beat a WBSLwhatever with a certain character , upgrading skills still gives you a pretty decent damage boost . Which is why a lot of people who write guides have them maxed out .
