I had this over and over. Taking of a helm with + skills to upgrade it on the forge was always removing my most usable passive from the skill, but not the one I last assigned. Why? It did not seem random. I was always removing the most powerful one. Anyway, what happens when you remove several items with + skill!? Oh my…
What I think would be better, is such items provide +1 to the passive,s with the tag, not to add skill points to assign yourself. I don’t know, if that\s a thing later on in the game, because I did not finish it, yet. I merely just ascended to a Lich from an acolyte a couple of levels ago.
Please take a look into this. Thanks!
