World of warcraft much? lol

juss looked at them all. Really interesting. Arcane looks pretty sweet

 

Keep in mind that World of WarCraft took its talent system directly from Diablo2's skill system. If any one of Blizzard's games is copying another, then it's World of WarCraft that's copying Diablo. If you're talking about how Diablo3 has passive talents now, which Diablo2 never had and therefore 'must' be copying from World of WarCraft, take a look at synergies.

 

K yea.. im stupid i forgot WoW came out after d2 lawl

If they added Synergies in WoW.. that game would be so OP

 

Where did synergies in World of WarCraft come into this? It basically already has synergies. That's practically what the whole talent system is. Not to mention that it wouldn't be overpowered because every class would have them.

 

Synergies and WoW didnt come into this at all. Im juss metioning if WoW had synergies like d2 did.

 

Even so, it wouldn't be overpowered, as every class would have them. Just adding something doesn't mean the game wouldn't be balanced, as it would obviously be balanced to compensate.

The point remains that this system is a direct improvement of Diablo2's patch 1.10 Skill Tree system. It's merely split the skills into abilities and synergies, so that players don't have to invest in abilities that they're not using and so that the synergies will be more useful overall and just taking one skill doesn't require you to take another for it to be effective.
