The nodes the build is for. “1.0 files” are the values the 1.0 game data stores per rank; “Before 1.0” is the skill's pre-1.0 wiki description, kept for what it does, not its numbers.

Gear

Only weapons and sets we can match to an item in the 1.0 game files. Tiers come from those files; a “likely match” agrees on 4–5 of 5 perk slots rather than all of them.

FAQ

When should I respec out of this?
Once you know your class. The build is 18 points. Keen's November 2024 notes priced a respec at 1 rune per spent point; 1.0 itself reset the tree once for existing saves ("When playing for the first time in version 1.0.0.0 with an existing save game, the skill tree will be reset.").
Do I really need Counterstrike?
No. It is here because it is cheap and works with any weapon; swap it for anything in the Mage area if you go Mage.
Is this build viable in co-op?
Yes — it is a neutral opener, and it leaves every class open.
