Tips when leveling

A few tips when leveling up:
-Always complete your destiny quests (they both give good rewards and a lot of exp)
-Do as many quests as you can, unless you're able to take down a lot of mobs at once (most classes are not able to)
-Always update your gear, if you aren't looting any better, buy it at a vendor!
-If you are unable to complete a quest because of it's difficulty, either find someone to help you or move to the next quest, don't waste time trying to do something too hard.
-You should have around 20 health potions (aged bloodbelly ale or better, you will need it), 5 stamina potions (sometimes you will have to run away, it's far better than dying and running for even longer) and if you're a caster, a few mana potions would be pretty good in some cases.
-Try to find as many respawn points as possible as they will help you when, occasionally, you die.
What attributes to max out?
-Take in consideration what you need the most, health regen (Bandaging) - being a herald of xotli or any other class that isn't using too much mana, or mana regen (Renew mana) - being almost any other caster you'll need this (except for herald of xotli)
-Always keep casting concentration maxed out (for casters, obviously)
-Being an assassin, you will want to max out hiding too
-Climbing should be around 60-80 before level 20, after that it may have to raise a bit.
-Perception is useless at low levels, unless you plan to be PvPing before level 80.
-Mana attractor should, too, be maxed out if you're a caster.
Obviously you probably won't be able to max them all out, but the only one that really needs to be maxed out is 'Casting Concentration'.
Combos/spells how-to (for complete newbies):
-Try to remember each and every combo's hit location (left, center or right) and if killing several mobs, try to use combos which both mobs won't be blocking too much. Also cast AoE damage/root spells when being close to more than 1 mob.
-You will probably need to set up additional hotkeys because of the amount of combos/spells/ you will have at later levels, examples; Shift + Q, Shift + E and Shift + F are hotkeys that are not used for anything too useful.
-Whenever you get new combos/spells see if there's a spell you could switch for the new one, to still be able to get the most DPS.
