Over maxing soldier skills?

[Everyone_s_Grudge]

Tried to research but came up with differing opinions.

Is there no point in over maxing Overguard, Fighting Spirit, Military Conditioning, Field Command, Squad Tactics, or Decorated Soldier? Are the returns at max not worth going over?

Only Field of Command and Military Conditioning are worth maxing. I usually put around 4 points in Fighting Spirit. I always leave Overguard at around level 9 or 10. Squad Tactics and Decorated Soldier are one point wonders, at least to me.

So Squad Tactics damage increase is less than stellar? I have yet to read up on how damage increases work in this game (just don’t have enough time), because at 12/12 45% damage increase seems great. But, is that 45% of weapon damage then?

Overguard is worth it. The others less so. Especially if you go Markovian Fortress that almost 100% uptime damage absorb from Overguard is very good overcapped or not.

I would Overcap it in crucible Gladiator if I could afford the skills.

You have around 1000-1300% damage bonus in ultimate, raising it to 1045-1345% isn’t doing much. It is around 4% damage increase overall. Though there is the attack speed also.
