Nightblade Attribute Points
I need some advice for a Nightblade and attribute points. I spent my first 39 points on cunning, I have since learned that people put the majority of their points into physique. I am currently doing that now, but will I be able to play this character into epic and even ultimate mode? Or do I need to start over?

I can't seem to figure out how to insert a screenshot image of my character. I am playing a level 62 Nightblade. I am at the end of normal mode (just have to complete Bastion of Chaos).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Shouldn't be a problem and you can get potions to reset your attributes anyway.

You are fine. Not only can you reset them, but attribute points don't make THAT much of a difference overall, provided you can equip the gear you want to equip. The total amount of stats is equivalent to like 3 extra items. So with 39 points into cunning you have 1 extra "item" worth of cunning stats.

Namely, around 160 offensive ability and +200% damage to physical, pierce, and bleed. Plus like 500 hp.

In contrast, those points into physique would give something like 850 hp, 160 defensive ability, and some hp regen.

Spirit is the one which is on the weaker side, since energy regen is very low priority and you don't get any offensive nor defensive ability. Cunning is still okay. Especially on a nightblade, which generally makes use of it more than most masteries.

I don't think it's a bad pick especially if you go for piercing damage. I think some if the most useful devotions for a piercing build trigger on crit, so having some extra offensive ability would be useful (hit and crit chance both use OA, the more you have thr more crits you'll see)

I appreciate the responses from everyone. This is my first play through, and I'm really enjoying the game. I was concerned I might hit a wall during epic or ultimate due to not enough health, or not enough physique to equip the best gear. If I had to start over I would rather do that now, than later. Reading these responses is great news. I wasn't aware there was a potion to even reset attribute points. It's a big relief to know I can continue on with this character.

Thanks all !!

If this is your first playthrough so this is completely fine to put all of your points into physique, just remember to left 10-15 free points to scenario then you find a cool ring or amulet but your spirit is low and not enough to wear it
