I know it has been brought up before… Lack of a sixth skill slot is one of the reasons I do not play LE very much. Every time I get into late builds, it just gets boring. It doesn’t feel like a tactical decision I am making as far as my build, it feels like a LIMITING decision. It seems to come down to finding a way to push a SINGLE dps skill (i.e. hold down right click). All my builds seem to move in this direction. Feels limiting. Debate it all you want. It’s limiting in a way that does not make builds more interesting, just lacking and boring.
An alternative might be to have weapon/skill swap. Literally anything but less…
Limitation is one major pillar for build decisions.
With more choices the build variety and options for builds would actually go down in many cases.
While that is true for some builds, it it less true for LE compared to other similar games.
Giving us another skill spec slot would not really change that anyway and most builds will just get more utility/defensive things into their build.
With a skill spec slot more many many mroe builds will become much mroe similar because they can take all the options they want.
A lot of buidls already have a lot of similarities and this would only get worse with that.
Having to make some chocies between different options is good. 5 skills is already mroe than enough to get so many different builds and combinations, another skill spec slot would not majorly change that and would only make the game worse.
Yeah, pretty much, but the entire game is balanced around 5 specialisable skills. Plus you can have skills that proc other skills (more common onthe newer skill trees/masteries).
