Where should my points go?

[BattousaiX]

For lvl 8 and 9 what skills should I lvl up? Im going to be a warlock.Im 9 and I already have a point in arcane missile but if thats not a good idea then I can just reset skills right?

Yep you can reset with the command /reset_powers
That way you can learn what skills fit you best.

So don't worry about making mistakes

Yes, lvl 2 arcane missile is good...At lvl 10 you get another 2 skill points, so get vampirism and another skill.

I´ll quote myself =P
I´ll also add a few things in blue and deleted some obvious stuff

At lvl 8 pick either of these and raise it to lvl 2

Curse: worthless (does anyone use it, really?)
Fire magnification: can work well in combination with a lvl 2 barrier
not really woth it in a warlock. At least not until the very last levels i think

lvl 10: enjoy your very first warlock spells =) they rock
lvl 17: max out mana control, get energy borrow (also vampirism, both lvl 2) leave as it is until lvl 21*
lvl 21: max it out again, get ambitious sacrifice. You will never have to sit again. Become a mana junkie
lvl 25: (optional) max out necromancy, get soulkeeper, annihilate everything.

*You get the most of your mastery points by raising the mastery to the lvl where you get a particular skill you need. Example: mana control lvl 1: barrier, lvl 2, nothing, waste of points, lvl 3 mana burn yay

All this while you try out all your super duper warlock skills. Remember you can always use the command /reset_powers to reinvest your points so you are not stuck with a bad choice you may have made in the past.

Oh and another thing, if you come across a fast staff, stick to it.

hmm that was longer than i thought.
