Second spec was quick and easy to spam, at higher levels I had rare occasions in which I wanted to use a spear vs. porcupine so I picked up things like pierce or thrust and didn't master them but used them. Most passive skills flew up on their own and I couldn't quite finish evade to 100% no matter how hard I tried, but with parry anything, flow, 24 dex, trust me, I evaded a TON.

When I wanted to pick up brawling, which is also sort of passive and increased on its own, the elbow, knee, kick was quick and easy and I think imperial tactics helped with this.
