Thank you. Scouting is definitely not useless; if you quickly level up stealth to GM, you can get a lot of experience (and more) for free, and during the first playthrough, the scouting skill simplifies map exploration. Also, if you don't level up the third combat skill, you will become an archmage anyway, which not everyone would want.
Well, yes, but experience stops being useful when you're already at level 30 and finding the same chests. I just took it for the gold.
And regarding specialization (archmage), yes, that's true. It's a pity that you can't really choose it, selecting from the skills you have and changing them as needed during the game. It's a bit of a cheat, but it's interesting.

Yes, by the way, I had a question. Why are there only guilds of Order and Chaos in the game? I expected to see guilds of Life and Death as well.
