Survival Instinct is worth investing points into

As this skill has quite a few uses and can be used in several builds, we recommend building this skill. This skill will usually always come in handy, though there may be instances where you should prioritize another skill instead. If you have extra points and do not know where to invest them, this skill is a good option.

This skill is extremely useful early in the game since it gives you an immediate 500 bonus HP. This is equivalent to 5 levels early in the game which requires you to complete multiple quests to achieve.

Conclusion

If you are having a hard time surviving against some enemies early in the game, then this skill is definitely worth investing into. The bonus HP that you get from this skill can greatly help you in combat early in the game.
