Apparently you haven't played 1.10 -- there's a very good reason to pump up lower supporting skills, because they synergize with later skills, and vice versa. Some low level skills receive so many synergies, that it's tempting to add points in high level skills to make the low level ones even more effective.
Sorry, forgot about 1.10. I created MANY good chars in 1.10. I used the synergies to good effect too. After maxing out my primary skill however.
As for the rest. I will have to play some more and get back to you with my approach to <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />.
I know for definate I will find something else to use now I know that the lower level spells ain't so hot.
Peace people. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
