hmm, sounds like those actives that no-one uses need to be fixed regardless, don’t you think?
lol with the addition of heartgem i think the skills is enough now. They could just upgrade the skill tree like an additional attack or effect. or a weapon modifier that evolves your skill when when paired with a different weapon.
the game combat pretty much comprise of dodging, blocking , using your skill, and using light or heavy attack. The cd for the skills give you room to use your dodge, block, light and heavy attack.
The gameplay is fun for casuals. This is not wow where you spam 20 buttons haha.

Bad idea. It seem impossible to balance game with 3 skills per weapon. With 5 skills will be armageddon.

Yes I saw and I wonder how its possible.
So how you suggestion will improve without developer time?
You kinda answered yourself that problem is not skill amount.
Don’t see how having 5 abilities would improve combat, more like actually make it just a ability spamfest as in other games. Tho comparing to other games is not exactly valid and the combat system is completely different as brought up in previous comments. Actually I would say that combat where you have 2-3 times more skills to use is boring, due to losing actual mechanics with it and everyone just spamming abilities.

I’m old, (67), so I’m more than happy that I only have 3 buttons to worry about.

With some setups you never swap weapons at all.
Then you are a noob.
When I play a new game, and the game have to many abilities and options. I tend to lose interest way faster. Spacing abilities around, and formulating / rotation of abilities.
I love that you only have 3 per weapon. It makes the combat more simple and fine tuned, yet with all the fun. I never even once thought about adding an extra ability while playing. Can you imagine with a elite run. Participants of 30 plus having 11 abilities each. That means in a time of 30 seconds, you will see roughly 300 abilities been used. HAVOC!!!

Or you never played whit a greatsword.
Or did the Lazarus dungeon.
Or Garden.
Laz M10. Gen M10. Greatsword expertise 594 (6 to go).
I switch weapons with all of those, So does everyone who knows how to play-
What weapon do you switch Hammer with in Lazarus?
This would require a total and complete overhaul of each weapon, as they are all currently balanced around having 3 abilities available each.
We’re talking a very large undertaking and rebalancing of all the trees, as well as considerations for skill points/passives. This would also greatly affect the gameplay in both PVE and PVP.
Currently, certain weapons can almost already global other classes, this would increase that to many more weapons. (Diminishing a large aspect of the combat.)
Don’t know that this would be a good move from several avenues.

Great Axe for grav well. Or spear for rend. We run 2 hammer/Axe one Hammer/Spear.

Well for trash yeah.
But for bosses/singletarget rotation you will use only one weapon with the best bonus.
No u will still use spear to apply rend.

Which you doesn’t need anymore if you have a greatsword player in your group.
Either way it sounds like a lot of fun to change a weapon only to apply one debuff.
You better stop here, you are making a fool of yourself.
