-This talent tree is the most unique of the classes since it has a single branch line rather than two separate ones. This makes decision making a lot simpler, both lines being your usual stat and stat training increase talents. At the same time, if you want tier 3 talents you'd have to max out your stat training talents first. I consider the left tree to be the recovery while the right tree is the offensive. Both trees have utility and talent-based abilities. You can reset anytime. but just note the cost to reset (after the first free reset) increases every time you reset.

+*It takes 5 points in a tier to gain access to the next tier of talents, but only for one side.
-You shouldn't worry about the Talent Tree early on as you only start with one point, gaining more every ten levels. There side quests near the second half of the game that rewards you with a total of 5 talent points. I will list all the talents you can learn and the order you should learn it.
+**For example, if you level up Improved Cosmic Blast to 5 you can begin to level up  All Knowingness and Brain Freeze, but not Balance.

 It's your primary ability and has a 2-second cooldown but requires 2 seconds to charge. That means it'll take a total of 4 seconds between attacks, which is longer compared to Assassin and Titan’s Stab and Bludgeon respectively. This can become a non-issue considering you have Mental Exhaustion and Mental Agony to cast as well. If you press another ability or move before the ability is fully charged it'll end the cast early. This means you'll have to be careful not to press anything else until Cosmic Blast completes casting. Mentioned that Philosopher is similar to Assassin in the sense that both have an Improved talent that increases crit chance.

-The heal is basically Mental Agony or a combination of a Priest's Salvation and Spiritual Rejuvenation. It's your only healing ability and can pose a problem as it also a combined cost of two different abilities. It's not an ability you can always use as recasting it resets and wastes your dot (heal over time). If you can afford the mana it should be no problem. Again, do not use any other ability or action while it is being cast or it will cancel it out.
