Must have skills

Hunter:

Bow Bearer - having a Hunter and a Light bow is very necessary for switching between long and close range combat
Chain Assassination - enables you to double assassinate two enemies that are close to each other
Enhanced light bow - becomes very useful for certain bosses, animals and especially when shooting at someone on a horse
Hail of arrows - even further improves the light bow

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warrior:

Parry - self explanatory enough, you can parry almost any attack from any enemy. Some bosses seem to be an exception, but that might just be me failing to parry them.
Regeneration - you get it anyways since its the first one in order.
Weapon bearer - very useful to switch between for ex. a health on kill weapon and a poisonous/fire weapon. Also good for switching between different overpower attack types.
Adrenaline 2 - great skill, makes it easier to instantly finish 1v1 fights that you run into by accident, or with khopesh swords you can deal a lot of damage to many enemies at the start of battle instantly.
Overpower fury - absolutely necessary for bosses, gives you easy HP regen when youre about to die, saved me numerous times.
Overpower chain throw - unlike overpower attack, this chain throw 100% kills the second enemy, so its always good to kill a regular enemy with OP attack and then throw their weapon at higher level enemy.
Attack & push -> a proper combination of this skill and regular attacks can keep almost any regular human enemy staggered (unable to attack back) until it dies. It can also sometimes break small shield defenses.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seer:
- Dawn & dusk -> first skill but very useful
- Sleep darts -> an absolute MUST HAVE - it makes sure stealth situations remain stealth. Even though Chain assassination exists, sometimes the 2 enemies can be too close, which means assassinating one will alert other and open a possibility to break stealth. It also allows you to approach enemies from their front, which happens rather often.

Useful skills

Hunter:

Assassination loot -> quite useful, but can be skipped if you are looking to direct your points elsewhere - though it leads to Chain assassination which is important
Enhanced hunter bow -> cool skill but you can get interrupted by other enemies before you get the chance to hit the enemy whose defense you've broken
Piercing arrows -> this arent as important as the light bow skills, since you are rarely going to use hunter bow in close range combat

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warrior:

Kill loot -> same as Assassin loot, but a bit more useful since you mostly dont have time for picking up items during combat
Overpower combo -> this could count as a must have skill, but I rarely experienced this skill dealing a lot of damage. You either 1 hit kill an enemy with overpower attack, or this skill helps you finish them off or at least stagger them. Great for bosses though.
Shield charge - even though it consumes a bit of adrenaline, it is a great skill that allows you to break heavy shield defenses without Charge heavy attack skill - you just get some distance, target an enemy and run into them to break the defense or drop them to the ground.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seer:

Smoke screen -> an okay skill, I've rarely found the use for it, but when I did it did its job very well.
Berserk -> can be a good way of creating a distraction, but in Origins in particular it is lot less useful as opposed to for ex. black flag, syndicate and others (toxin darts)

Achievement related skills

Enhanced predator bow -> The Arrow Whisperer
Pyromaniac -> (NOT NECESSARY) Boom!
Eagle harass -> Team Play
Master Warrior/Hunter/Seer -> I'm Done Learning (just spend 1 point on any of these 3)
Animal taming -> Roooaaarrr! / Set-up Date
Elite Ranger -> Archer of the Month
