People are generally going to use the most optimal setup regardless. Getting rid of the skill pool size won't magically make people use skills they perceive to be unwanted or bad.

However it would allow for people to have more choice in variety in terms of their abilities. A typical DH (especially in Destiny) can take up far more than 10+ skill slots in itself, usually around maybe 15 or so in itself. And that's counting the usual essentials in the class. Even on a character of mine who is a LB/Hexer (meaning they do indeed have a good mix of skill and will for status inflict; and the extra slots from Fluency's Spellbook), it's difficult to use most of the general arsenal I have on the character still all the same.

People are going to use the most optimal set up usually; yes. But that isn't the point here. The point is more so it's restrictive. Most 'set ups' in the game don't even take up that many skill slots to begin with. And I mean the rather easy, linear ones. It'd benefit more than it'd hurt as, either way, not like it'd stop said 'optimal set ups' anyways.

The issue with this kind of thinking- thinking that people will always only choose the most optimized skillset- is that it makes it so those of us that want to diversify ourselves and do really crazy, inefficient combos for the sake of style alone left without options.

I'm more than positive a large number of people do these crazy fun things that truly separate characters from the rest of the pack. Any of these options would be very much appreciated and is desperately needed so these kinds of characters can continue to exist without complete overhauls.

I am still with Grandpa on this one. In the end too, if it's implemented and is 'too much' or actually not liked by the player base, it's a quick remove anyways right? So why not at least test to see how people react to it; akin to what was done with the Item Belt adjustment that ultimately made most happy they didn't have to deal with unlimited Pre-scribed Hi-Potions everywhere?
