utility skills for leveling/PvE
It’s a very relative question, don’t even know where you’re putting trait points. If you’re using Deep Strike, for example, then ofc you’d want to unlock signets asap.
shouts, stances and signets are all pretty good these days. I’d suggest unlocking anything that you think would help you. You’ll end up unlocking everything eventually anyway. Just make sure to do skill challenges as you level to make unlocking skills quicker.
Buff your damage to kill stuff faster. For Great Justice! and Banner of Discipline (if you are willing to carry it around) are good choices.
For the lower level areas (under level 40) healing signet is way OP, I havent tested it with the recent buff to signets but it should now be even better. I literally engaged a mob with GS, had auto attack on, alt tabbed out to check something on wiki, and came back 15s later to find everything dead, me at full health.
Ofc a more active playstyle is recommended if you dont want to be bored to tears, but my point is healing signet for lower levels is an excellent skill to invest in. It doesn’t quite scale as well in higher level areas though.
u can own anything with GS #1 till 80 so pick what makes u happy…
i prefer signet build till 40 then sig of might, fury, rage and fgj… at 80 i swap out sig of fury for banner of disc and sig of might for shake it off for group play
Axe/x
Healing signet, power signet, precision signet, endurance signet, signet of fury
Incredibly boring but every thing just melts.
Be sure to pickup a minor sigil of bloodlust.
A couple of foods and consumables can make it even more boring.
Taking either an axe/whatever(mace is my fav for PVE) and a longbow along with for great justice, Shake it off, the signet of stammina(more dodges), and a signet of rage and you get perma fury, tons of might, a stun break(condi cleanse too), and you dodge roll for speed. Start traiting power and precision, taking precision to 25 of 30 and power to 30/30 and then the last 15 to Discipline. You will basically roll anything that stands in front of you.

It took you 15 seconds to kill something?…
Just a reminder that Deep Strikes was nerfed for lower levels (if it even works yet). That’s why lots of people tell you to use Signets while at lower level.
Signets.
Now this message isn’t too short :p
