You guys are completely missing the point. Of course there are skills that you can train just to waste skill points. I am talking about skills that actually make a difference to make you a better specialized combat pilot.
If I have all drone support skills to level 5, and Gallente and Minmatar drone specializations to 5, why on Earth would I care to train Caldari and Amarr drones to level 5 when they do everything worse then the most damaging and quickest drones? That is a perfect example of wasting training time on something that doesn't advance your character one bit. Just to say, you have something to train!
Train 10+ million SP for missiles as a Amarr Laser pilot just to fly the few crappy Amarr missile bonus ships when the laser ships are better in the first place? Another example of a waste of skill point training. Then someone mentions did I train transport pilot to level 5? Ya, as an Amarr combat pilot, I give a flying **** about flying transport ships.
All rigging skills to level 5? Do you know how many worthless rigging skills that wouldn't even be used by an Amarr combat pilot at all?
You guys are grasping at straws. And no, I play eve for combat not playing the market or mining. I even went through the market after the latest patch to scrub my skill list and to see if anything new was released to train up. There wasn't. Really my only option is to cross train now to Minmatar for speed as Amarr are quite slow but tank good.
It will only take a handful of months to max out the Autocannon and Artillery skills for Minmatar since I already have all the Gunnery support skills to level 5. So then I will be able to fly a Maelstrom and everything below it at max skill level. Then what? I can't even think of many situations I'd even want to fly a Maelstrom over an Abaddon with HG slaves in. See what I am saying? Your progression just goes side ways at a certain point and not forward.
I can't really give any educated recommendations without seeing your skill sheet. If you post your skills on eveboard and link it in this thread, I can give you specific recommendations on what I would do in your position. Other than that, I'll just say if you don't have great missile skills you are missing out on the
Purifier
Sacrilege
100mn AB HAM brick Legion
Even if you have the missile skills to fly those decently you could always get Warhead Upgrades V, HAM spec V, and Torps spec V. Those should keep you busy for a bit, and really aren't wasted skill points at all.
