I'm curious if a few of the Warrior Mages would mind posting their top survivals that they train for circling. Over in the Bard folder I'm having a discussion of the top survivals for our Guild and why. I'm wondering if that would be similar to Warrior Mages, as another survival tert Guild, or if there are some differences that show up because of the way most o the members train/hunt/whatever. Thanks for your help!

In order: Perception, Evasion, Skinning, Hiding, Foraging, Stalking, Climbing, First Aid.

Stalking's lagging because I gained the majority of my survival ranks before HUNTing existed (still recently reactivated). Back when it was a lot harder to train, it dropped way behind my hiding skill. Hunt's helped it a lot though, and it's only 5 ranks behind now; it'll probably pass hiding before too long since I still can't hide against my at-level hunting.

Perception I used to train religiously through juggling, more recently through collecting (why foraging is up there) and using hunt. Evasion and skinning just sorta happen.

Six used for training, in order from highest to lowest: Evasion, Skinning, Perception, Foraging, First Aid, Stalking. Climbing and Hiding are both also high enough to meet my circle requirement, however.

I'm actually kinda surprised that Stalking isn't more common and higher up among the people who have posted so far. Just from the glance at the Bard Guild and a similar post I did in the Paladin folder, Stalking has usually been one of the higher skills.

Evasion, Perception, and Skinning seem to be the top three on average for the Guilds I've asked so far.

Haven't been playing much, recently, but my highest 6 survivals (in order) are:
Perception
Evasion
Skinning
Disarm traps
Lockpicking
Foraging

After the skill combine, Hiding will become Stealth, and be my new 6th highest.

I pretty much gave up on stealths since it took forever to train, and backtraining took too long.
