I think I mentioned it in the other thread, poly isn't always straight up better, if the skill system works the way I think it works.
For example, you are a pyro/geo mage that needs damage in these 2 schools, you have 60 int, 6 pyro, and 6 geo, and you have 4 skill points to spend on a lonewolf character.
Spending the points in pyro/geo, will make the damage for each school rise from 130% to 150%, equivalent to 15.38% more damage.
Spending the points in poly, which gives 8 int, will make the total damage go from, 350% to 390%, result in about 11.43% more damage.
In this case, going full poly is not a superior choice.
