Thoughts, Strategy and Tips[]
It might prove useful to mix and match certain talents and invest in different trees while along a path.
For example, the Feline tree offers a great stun (Pounce) that can help you win a fight, the Demoralizing Roar from the Bear tree can reduce attack damage and help your heal from the Balance tree work its magic.
The Bear tree offers increased health if you invest some points, while other Feline bonuses are deep inside of it. Balance offers some nice side buffs. (Master Shape Shifter and Thorns.), though the heals are deep inside.
Consider this guide as a "model" on how to decide to shape your character and take these side talents according to your need (Low health, recieving too much damage, healing can't take full effect...).
