9 times out of 10, issues with dying early in the game has very little to do with build. in fact, you should be able to run an empty bar and roll threw at least the first two thirds of newbie island. more important issues are hero usage as well as their builds, hench usage, quality of PUGs, and armor and weapon levels. a few questions:

how far have you gotten?
are you using your heros or henchies or PUGs?
if heros, what levels and what kind of builds?
what level armor do you have?
what are the stats of your weapon?

this information will be much more important than skill usage. as you've said, since you dont have these skills unlocked, you cant use them yet. only other advice would be to roll a pvp char, gain some baltz points to unlock the skills you want, then purchase them at any skill trainer available where you are at. but i dont think your skills are the issue here.

yeah, at lvl 7 your skill bar really isnt a big deal. you gotta learn aggro techniques and henchie control. and not to PuG.

The build I use on the noob island:

[skill]Mystic Sweep[/skill] [skill]Wild Blow[/skill](not really necessary yet) [skill]Victorious Sweep[/skill][skill]Faithful Intervention[/skill] [skill]Heart of fury[/skill] [skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill] [skill]Conviction[/skill] The last skill doesnt really matter, depends on the area, if I'm your not going out alone, bring rez. Otherwise use a skill that doesnt require any or little energy. Cause the energy in this build isnt really a problem, but you dont really have energy left because of these 7 skills. But that "problem" will be solved when you get a Zealous scythe, like [wiki]Mhedi's Vow[/wiki]


When I used this build, I never died on the noob island, matter a fact, I have almost reached the survivor Rank. But I actually used this build too reach First spear right off the bat, so I didnt have to wait to do some missions (alone, for some nice inscription farming for my scythe).

(sorry for my crappy english)


Hope this helps you a bit.
