Playstyle and priorities

Build an opener around the target and preserve an escape tool if a pull turns dangerous.

Stealth, positioning and Energy management let you select encounters and limit downtime. Weapons affect your playstyle.

Leveling 1–60: what to plan

Build around the abilities already unlocked at your current level. Keep your most important survival, control or recovery tools available and adjust your talent order for solo play versus coordinated dungeon runs. The full level-60 allocation can differ from an efficient leveling order.
