I'd really like to see more active skills announced. The list so far looks quite good, but brief.

The parallels between these skills and skills of other previous IP are evident, so we already know they will play well, but the obvious comparison makes evident the vast difference in quantity.

Combining the socketing system and the skill system into one thing has the down-side of one less user interaction system, and the up-side of increased variability in the skill system (along with a few other pros). I guess the point I'm trying to get at is, IMHO, the major boon of the socket skill system only really shines if there are LOTS of variables to play with.

The Socket Skills System is one of the more notable things that sets Path of Exile apart from other games of its genre. Standing-out can be good or bad, depending on whether one stands-out by putting their best foot forward or not.

I'm crossing my fingers that there are lots more un-announced active skills, to really give the Socket Skill System the bang for it's buck.

Does anyone disagree that this is a valid concern?
