Imo, the order and the "good" skills (or people considered good anyways for their classes) do not really match.. I'm just giving example of Cleric.. The blessing of the gods is the cleric skill that results in 0% exp loss after death is under the Order of Luminance.. If you choose to join this order, that means your gear choice that you can get is light armor, poles, axes (lol wtf?)
It seems to me the free skills (the skills highlighted in green in the second link) are crappy skills.. Note that the free skills are like this:
*Order of Corona: barb, BM, seeker (natural HA users, yet they give arcane armors as the gears choice, dagger and bow as weapon choice)
*Order of the Shroud: sin, archer (natural LA users, yet they give heavy armors as the gears choice, magic and soulsphere as weapon choice)
*Order of Luminance: wiz, cleric, veno, psy, mystic (natural AA users, yet they give light armors as the gears of choice, poles/axes/swords/blades as weapon choice)
So, my guess is that you can't really have all of them.. Choose either skills, armors, or weapons and join that order.. Most likely, people will based their choice on skills that they want since there are various armors and weapons endgame already..
For now, I choose Corona on Mystic since she has a nice skill there that increases party damage (buff lasts for 30 secs) plus Corona gives arcane armors as gear choice, so not too bad of the Order choice.. Not sure where the res buff would fit.. I honestly think that the party damage buff is invaluable and no other classes have that kind of buff.. So, would be a plus for Mystic..
Still unclear on which order to choose on Psy.. Imo, I like none of the psy's skills honestly.. Those skills only geared towards PvP purpose.. The new AoE move is stronger than Red Tide, but in all honesty, if it's based on soulforce, it's just another garbage for poor psy with basic soulforce (lol that's me)..
Until Descent actually comes, I can only speculate how skills work.. So, my choice will most likely change..
