Im increasingly of the opinion that any points into something other than your main trait is a waste. I put 10 points in sur because I have had bad experiences getting enough food when traveling to other places and biomes, and I thought it just made sense to be able to make your own dried meat and bring it with you, cause its hella expensive to buy. But now Im level 27 with only 7 points in wis and I do no damage. Sur also gives you mag def, but even then I think its a waste.
I know If you get high enough level you would get your investment, but it would take forever to just grind reapeatable missions for 10 levels, especially since you need a lot more xp the higher level you are before going for missions in other places. And if you dont grind for levels before the bulk of missions, you basically dont play as your build until late game, and there is a lot more buffer type enemies late game, and those are ridiculously tanky, so you basically are weak even then. And as timid lona, you dont even benefit from the coolest thing, dialogue option, they are unlocked at above 10-15 wis, and a lot of them are quite early.
It's weird, sur and stealth seem to be add ons in a build, or side traits, but putting points in 2 traits spells dissaster most often than not. The only exception would be tough lona, with attack and stealth, since the bulk of damage comes from weapons, you can put points into stealth, which also unlocks backstab.
Have you made builds that focus on 2 traits work?
