I guess i could use some tips for my final char...

Which skill combinations are best or most versatile to start with? I heard that axes are currently best for combat. Can I use the preorder-axe for loggigng as well?
Which attributes should i pick? Is there any point in Spirit & Charisma at all?


oh, and kinda off-topic: Whatever happened to car wrecks? Will they be in after the final wipe or anytime soon?
Just so i know whether i should bother looking for one...
