Thanks for the head's up Micbran. I'll keep your advice handy for my next Skeleton Brawler.
Truth be told, I leveled up my Brawler going in blindly, just assigning points at whatever skills I found interesting or I thought was needed at the spur of the moment without plans for the end-game. So yeah, it was quite horrible..
The only reason I sustained Precise Strike was because my Attack Speed was well over 100% from some equipment (Mighty Girdle + Snow Giant Wraps set I think), so even with the penalty from PS it was still over 100%. I though it was worth it, even though I had to remember to drop PS whenever I swap my Wraps for something else.
I
was rather conflicted between max-ing the skelly's racial or upping Light Armor and/or Unflinching Resolve.. will keep that in mind for my next one.
YSBMW was chosen purely because my skelly has become gargantuan somehow.. I did consider whether I should take Flexible Combat or Giant Leap first, but curiosity got the better of me, so yeah..
Speaking of, I have another Brawler still alive and kicking on Nightmare Roguelike:
Mel'Inda the Cornac BrawlerAnother fun char to see if I could get my hands on the Bikining it happen! achievement..

I'm not sure whether it was the Nightmare difficulty or some XP bonus because I play a Cornac, but she managed to level up all the way to 7 merely from finishing Trollmire (including Bill) AND the Unknown Tunnels. Lessee if I could apply your advice on her and survive all the way to the end...
