Rogue/wiz skill question

[chuckles07]

So I rolled a rogue/wiz, took the first level rogue, taking the next 7 levels wiz, and then dipping back into rogue for one more level at that point, then back to wiz. Went human, so with my int I'll have 14 points to spend. 3 go to DD, Search and UMD, but after that I'm stuck. I'm thinking I should put most of the points into a single skill, to maximize the points.

Does it make sense to raise lockpicking, are door DC's like the Tear, or like everything else?

Haggle would be nice, I've been holding off on inscribing some stuff with the idea I might raise it.

Also balance, it's a class skill for Rogues, but I'm never gonna get it up to that crazy high WF titan dc, so will I get some benefit from a lower level of balance?

Diplomacy seems like it might do me some good, except when the melee's are too dumb to fight in wall of fire, so have people had luck with that?

You should put 6 points into ol, dd, and search on every lvl of wizard. Your going to have 7 for every lvl of wizard. But 6 points go into the rogue skills and 1 goes into concentration. For your rogue lvls you want balance, tumble, umd, jump. After that anything you feel like.

Sorry I was unclear, I've been raising my DD, Search and UMD skills by one point (putting two points in) each level, plus the last skill point on Concentration. So at level 8 I will have a DD, UMD, Search and Concentration skill on 11, plus stat bonuses. I've chose UMD over Open Lock because it seems locks are either easy, or super hard, and UMD gives me some self healing.
