Ok, how long has the "devote tree" been a thing? There are a few in there that can be real gems for certain classes/playstyles. I was thinking of using the SOUL dedication for a bit of EQ freedom on any character that can wear two sets. Only real combo that comes to mind though is platinum might, and heart of eternity. If you can think of any you really like, dedications, or set combos, please comment. Thanks!

You can fill the whole tree. I do in every toon.

What I tend to do is one of the following as my first six devotions in the tree:
Path 1 (casters and hybrids):
Service->Serenity->Sacrifice->Hope->Strength->Growth
Path 2 (fighters, rogues, etc.):
Service->Confidence->Vision->Hope->Strength->Growth
In both cases the idea is to get triple gold from sacrificing loot ASAP. Serenity is useless on its own if you can't cast any spells, and belief is situational in terms of benefits (rogues also don't have much use for it period) but vision is very useful to have if you rely on consumables for detect invis. Vitality is only a temporary benefit (for use against the dhampir in the Mansion) and I haven't found any other use for it.

It's so easy to get 20k gold, and then go get 5-10 low level rares to give you a boost and get you moving.
