Bash is a necessary prerequisite, and also offers +5% Concentrate damage per point.  Normally it's best to just put 1 point here and then max out a weapon mastery, however if you do not know which weapon you will use you can put more here.  It's also a decent place to put extra points when you are high level.

Stun and Leap are necessary prerequisite, but unfortunately have no use or synergies otherwise.
Stun and Leap are necessary prerequisite, but unfortunately have no use or synergies otherwise.  These are the only two "useless" prerequisites in the build; making this one of the more skill-efficient builds possible.


Leap Attack is a one-point skill of its own, and quite important for this character.  It has a much greater jump range than Leap does, and is good both for hurdling over obstacles or rivers and jumping into and out of battle.  If you get surrounded and Howl fails, use Leap Attack to jump to safety.  One point is all that's needed.
