I guess those level up without putting a point into them?

I never tested it, I just put them in.

It's my opinion (not fact) that putting a point in to almost all skills, like the melee ones, jump starts them so they start to skill up faster. Seems like if you have a skill of 0 then it takes a long time to get the first skill up. If you put a point, or even 2 or 3, in then they seem to take off fast. It can be frustrating chasing runners with a skill level that's 0 and missing a lot.

This is mostly true in the first few class levels, but even later if you switch weapon types and have a skill of 0 it can be painful to watch all those misses and wait forever for the skill ups to start coming. Besides, you get tons of points why not make them work for you? Melee types especially have little use for these points beyond their weapon types.
