I am currently leveling my first character ever, an engineer, level 27 I think. I’m having a great time, but I’m kind of a completionist and I make an effort to at least get all of the semi-simple skill points in an area before moving on. I have died about a dozen times since I bought the game a few weeks ago, playing varying amounts almost every day. I have a trait but I don’t really know enough about the game to know where the trait person is, much less buy them all the time. If you say it is because of my class, I can easily believe that because of all of these turrets. I don’t have any other experience to compare it to, but engineer leveling is very fun and pretty easy.
