Skill point question

[tamarack]

I'm playing as Nisha and found a Celestial Lawbringer Mod. So some of the skill groups have 5 as the top but now I have 7 on some. Do they continue to improve over 5 or should I lower those groups to be 5 and reuse the points elsewhere? Thanks!!

Some will go to the level shown by the math for skills with up to a max of 11 skill pts (5 + 6) whereas others can't give you more than about half = 5 no matter what the math shows. You'll learn which ones deliver the full & which give just the half strengths by trial & error ~ I don't recall seeing it written down or listed anywhere, though I could be wrong.

I also have soloed Nisha legit from 1 up to the max game level of 70 UVHM but Nisha's skill chart has three branches which have a maximum tier of only 6 deep being the three single point capstone skills of The Unforgiven, One For Each Of Ya & Thunder Crackdown. That's 70 playable levels by 6 deep skills ~ so, you've lost me with your comment "now I have 7 on some" ~ what does this "some" stand for or refer to?

Yes, you can have a value of more than 5.

You can't put more than 5 points in however (and in some cases, only one point). So.. the additional value will come from a Class Mod.

Note also that you only get the skill points from the class mod if you already have at least one point in that skill. Otherwise they remain unrealized potential.
