Hmm, I think my only "mistake" so far was leveling staves instead of
something one-handed, although I'm not sure I even had the option to do
one-handed so early in the game. It seems better to equip a one-handed
weapon and an off-hand item for the stat gains, rather than just a
staff, but I suppose it depends on the staff.

As a rule of thumb: If the +AP stat on the weapon (or any other item)
doesn't state "ranged", you'll get it.
