Swiss PHD (Player Help Desk)

I've gathered here all information that I have. (Remember all this is IMO) This guide was made just to help new players and everyone else that needs help ^^

Notice
The following builds are all tested and working perfectly. No build is totally perfect, but if you don't know what build to make you can use this as a guide.
Remember also: All of the following is made by me meaning it is my opinion

Some things that are good to know when you don't have much of an experience

Skill levels
Mostly aim for skill lvls:
1

Just because these lvls are the most beneficial for your build.
When you have left over points you often see some skill with lvl:

"Yes, as you can see both sides are heading out, the SB, shadowblade, moves quickly for the OP. Yes, and that's Sparrisen spamming the chat with psychedelic messages."

[Persus]

Swiss you think you can make another video showing new players how to set up and start a server? A few in recent weeks have asked me for this info. if we had it as a sticky like your first excellent video we could really get things going.
