Skill Points: What do YOU use them for?

[Combo]

After all my years in EQ, I never really figured out what to do with Skill Points. Someone told me very early on in my history with the game to covet them, and as a result, all of my characters ended up with some large pool of points just sitting there, unused.

All I use them for is:

-Unlocking new class skills (of course).
-"De-Frosting" 0-value weapon/casting skills (ie, 2 Hand Slashing from 0 -> 1 because the 0 -> 1 skillup always seems rather painful).

-RARELY to jump-start a profession (I'd rather throw 15-20 points at Tailoring than waste 120 Silks).

Is there any other use I'm missing?
