Hi guys, I've made several classes now and still can't decide on what to go through. I know ultimately it's my decision but maybe you can help me.

I want to go through as an archer/assassin. I hate wasting points into perks that become useless...

I am thinking a few points into sneak to get the bonus in archery. and lots into archery and light armor? I am just confused and don't want to screw it up...

I dislike getting killed by bandit chiefs and the like...so I made a mace and shield guy, he is pretty fun but not my cup of tea right now. Wanted my first playthrough to be a archer/thief type character.

Sorry, thoughts are scrambled and didn't know how to get them out clearly, thanks for the help!

Alchemy --> Poison perk line

Also look at Enchanting perk lines because some things in there may work with the other skills.

Don't neglect Smithing, of course.
