One thing i would say.
Try out various weapons and see which suit your style of play.
Once you have done that,then you can go for the skills of the specialist.
Enhchant weapons with charms is a very good skill too.(Under paths of warrior gods).
Ranged weapons are good,you can kill from afar,hit and run i say.
Still there are certain situations where melee weapons are best,sometimes you get into a small space with loads of enemies and bows arent the best options.
