I understand how to play games like this, character creating with so much depth? not so much. once i get the ball rolling im good.
Well, the thing is, if you know what exactly does each number of stat points do for you, you can then buy suitable equipment, you can manage your battle performance, ypu know what to do with progression. And so you won't need any presets besides the class itself.
If you don't know that, you will have to learn it to understand what to do in combat and how to progress.
