I recommend taking ''Legendary Skills,'' which will start all new skills at tier 3. For your uncommon perks, I suggest ''High Skills,'' which will give each skill a 5-level head start. With both of those, your skills will start at tier 3, level 5. Take your time and browse through the lists. There are millions of skills to choose from.</td>

These unlock at tiers 2, 3, and 4, and your perks will affect their progression as well. I think that''s enough skills for now.
