Stat/skill tree for Refine/synth?

So I started this game quite recently, and I seem to be still a bit confused by the skill tree and stat distribution.
Right now I have a lvl 41, completely untouched char in terms of stat and skill points: 127 stat points and 65 skill points.
I want to be able to refine and add stats to items, but also synthesize for item customization. So, in order to do these things, do I have to take different routes in stat/skill point distribution? This would make me a full tech char, yes? But what of the skill tree for success rates?
What would you suggest for the stat and skill tree..?
Thanks for your help in advance!
