They are not a complete waste. You need one lvl of skill in each of the 3 def skills to negate one weapon skill of your opponent. Example would be if you have a weapon skill of 11, and all my def skills are at 2, your effective skill in that weapon for our fight would drop to 9.

Now it would seem that def skills are a waste but there is a time when training up one lvl in each def skill is faster than one lvl of skill in your weapon. Thereby giving you a faster combat advantage than if you only trained your weapon skill.

Try figuring out how fast it takes to increase each lvl and you'll figure out when to train def, and when to train weapon skillls.
