And even if it was true in some cases, it's still better than having 25% skills used and 75% skills just-to-be-there in the skill-tree. My solution could also bring one more, both positive and negative result: trends. Players need time to notice the best skill, and when they do, with time it will become the worst skill, be abandoned and than become the best again. At least if skill powers change fast enough. | |

But if not every skill is available (eg. due to level restrictions), then those restrictions could make the skill rare enough to keep it overpowered. | |
