[2021] +x Skill mods

This is functioning as intended. I understand the request you have. However, in order to make the items less exploitable for free respecs, the nodes removed needs to be deterministic.

Recording the order in which nodes were placed and removing them in that order brings multiple new problems.

We will keep an eye on feedback regarding the system to see if steps need to be taken. So far, we are quite happy with it.

Note: I have moved this to the feedback and suggestions section.

We considered this approach too. Unfortunately it doesn’t work. If you invest your +skills from items in a node at skill level 10 which is a required node for points invested by leveling naturally later, those points can’t be removed as it would invalidate the tree by leaning a gap.

This means we can’t differentiate between points earned by +skill items and points earned by leveling.

Sure thing, the biggest thing is the ability to quick change your build from an aoe build to a single target build by simply removing your gear and putting it back on.

This is a very oversimplified version of the problem but with +5 to individual skills being possible right out of the gate, we did find several abilities that has this issue. And if we can find several in the span of a few seconds of thinking about it, I’m sure all of you together will find a way to do it with just about every skill.

Let’s say that a tree has 2 nodes:

• 95% less single target damage
• 200% more aoe damage

and

• 95% less aoe damage
• 200% more single target damage

If you have a +1 to this skill item, you can have the first node all through the monolith clearing and then right before the boss, unequip it, re-equip it, replace the aoe node with the single target node and suddenly you have a boss killing build.

This creates a problem with build guides suddenly describing skill allocations where you have to use specific items in a really unintuitive way.
