New to POE. Bandits Act 2

What you take depends on what you want your build to do. The rewards are different in each difficulty, except for the default, which is to kill everyone and get a passive point.

Normal
Oak - +40 Life
Alira - +60 Mana
Kraityn - +10% to All Elemental Res
Cruel
Oak - +16% Increased Physical Damage
Kraityn - +8% Increased Attack Speed
Alira - +5% Increased Cast Speed
Merciless
Oak - +1 Max Endurance Charge
Kraityn - +1 Max Frenzy Charge
Alira - +1 Max Power Charge

Remember, you can always help Eramir (by killing Oak, Kraityn, and Alira) and get a passive point, in all difficulties.

For example, lets say we were playing a life based melee character who used, say, groundslam. We would probably take +40 life in Normal, +16% Phys in Cruel, and +1 Max Endurance Charge in Merciless (Oak, Oak, Oak).

Hope this helps!

Wrong, the AS% is far stronger because it beats most nodes in the tree for 1 point.
But again, if you can't maintain mana useage with higher AS%, the %Phys would be better suited option.

But for max efficiency, the AS% is just better.

This. He still offers the ,by far, best passive compared to one skillpoint.
