This is the priority I use when choosing Perks. It is based on the philosophy, “kill them before they kill you,” and prioritizes DPS\/offensive Perks over the less relevant defensive Perks.

Even though the defensive perks should not be slept on (they do provide significant defense), I think most players will see more benefit from prioritizing offense right from the start.
