Who thought this was a good game design?
“Hey, let’s only allow them to use 4 skills at a convenience.”
Bruh.

you have 3 x more keybinds than the last good diablo game.
i wish mouse scrollwheel to circle through keybinds was still a thing.
Yeah that’s why I like wow. I think there was a time where blizz was grooming and pruning the classes to have like 6 abilities or so to get it ported to console but they decided against it.
I love wow having a bunch of binds, but not Diablo because they are different games
and D2 didn’t even need that many.
D2 was more of a hack’n’slash ARGP than D4 is.
I’m running Rogue.
I got
- Right Click for my AA.
- Left Click for Rapid Fire single damage
- #1 Dash
- #2 Barrage for AoE
- #3 Shadow Imb
- #4 is Ultimate.
I don’t have space for traps, calttrops, poison imb, shroud, smoke bomb.
And, at least at level 30, I already feel like I need to use my full toolkit to survive.

If they put in more equipped skills it would just be another MMO piano and balancing would be impossible.
The whole idea is to maximize a focused build, always has been.
If you want 20 skills there’s wow

But WoW is a different game. Why would I go play WoW if I want to play Diablo?
I’m sorry, but I fail to understand your logic. I feel like my 4 year old niece has better logical reasoning than this.
Not a compelling argument. If you really think about the big picture.
This is a brand new video game in 2023. Is there some universal rule that states the game has to follow 1-4 skill binds? I don’t think so.
Where is the innovation? This game doesn’t bring anything new to the table. We’ve seen it all before in 100’s of other games.
Like others have said, I think it’s moreso just down to balance. I mean, imagine barb being able to run 3 shouts, ironskin, charge, leap, wrath of the berserker and then a regular build ontop of all of those

Diablo 4 came before mobile gaming? WOW I DID NOT KNOW THIS
Oh wait…maybe diablo 1 is also old af and not something to base every single gameplay mechanic on? hmmm
What idiocy…so you can spam buttons like mmo garbage? some skills should even be auto cast like imbue.
Or it could be like 2 specs.
Buy 2nd spec for 250,000 gold or something. And have second talent tree with another set of talents to swap between the 2. AoE vs ST.
Its balancing really. If you bind every skill you have then items that give +skills would be much more powerful, as would skills that give passives.
For example, every druid would basically be required to pick up every companion skill.

there are games that exist that let you bind dozens of abilities, go play that Diablo isnt changing (in that regard) and that’s for the better. I feel like im wasting my time even replying to this nonsensical drivel.

1-4? my skill bar has 6. maybe update your graphics driver or try a different monitor if you only see 4
Which ones would those be? I’d love to play them. All 100’s of them.
7 if you include evade.
Bingo. Right there is basically D2 style thinking. It just doesn’t work anymore, would make everything nearly impossible to balance, and as others have said, would turn it into another MMO piano. No thanks, I like having to pick / choose what skills I want instead of just smashing everything on cool down with 0 thought put into my build.
