i believe elsegundo's just trying to clarify the meaning of skills in that context meaning your toon's learnable and trainable abilities and not skills as in your personal level and style of play.

and i agree that as you level, things will pretty much stay the same as it is now like how you do it. that's if you're dealing with normal mobs along your level bracket. you would only need the drood to cat/bear or go feral if and/or when you decide to tackle elites and instance mobs (within your level bracket ofc).

edit: play nice :P p.s. this post was intended to be in between posts 3 and 4
