Which are the main Modifiers for a beginner to learn?

[Anonymous]

I am getting my feet wet into the 3ds Max ocean. I already know about primitives, converting them into editable polygons and a few modifiers: taper, shell, chamfer, bend.

The list of modifiers is extense, to say the least. There are some which I cannot envision ever using.

Which modifiers are the most commonly used by a typical person?

TIA
