I typically use Zombie, Stench, Far Out Man, Glass Cannon on the ranger, and Opportunist, Bully, and Leech on the two-hander.
Getting Bigger and Better and All Skilled Up was previously not a viable option, since you could trade those two Talent points for quite a few Ability or Attribute points, which was much more effective than simply getting the two Talents, but in Enhanced Edition, you can only trade them for one Ability point each. So after I get the necessary talents, I just pick up those two with any extra points I have.
If I have any points left over after getting the Talents I've described above, I'll just get things like Lightning Rod for Jahan or Elemental Ranger for Bairdotr.
Comeback Kid isn't useful enough for me to take it as a talent. I've played through Tactician mode a few times with Madora, and I think I've only ever had her use it one time. Similarly, by using Zombie, my health is never below 30%, so What a Rush isn't useful either.
As far as Smokescreen goes, I've had mixed results. Usually the archers and mages just shoot right through it, which doesn't really make sense. My party can't see through it, but the enemy can? And if they can't, then they just walk through it and melee whoever they want, whether they have Stench or not. I'll still try to use it occasionally, but for the most part, it seems to be pretty broken.
