There is 120 passive skill points.

Why is there suddenly 120 placeble points in the skill tree instead of 111?

Because 120 is actual maximum.
111 was from Closed Beta before the addition of act 3.

Imagine if we could place all 120 points into HP nodes...

More skills, MORE SKILLS. Haha the more the merrier

FTFY

to be fair, you can only realistically use about 100 of them.

why is that?


also is this 120 points include the bandit rewards if you choose the skill points? or will you get 123 points if you go all skill points from bandits?

This accounts for act 3.

Its pretty sad when people are excited over 9 skill points.

At 111 you can get 8% on the skill tree but very very few people are going to get all 111.

At 120 you can get 9% but again no one is going to get 9%


I wont be excited until its possible to get 15% - 20% of the tree, then the massive tree will really be something other then a marketing gimmick

99 from levels.
21 from quests, including bandits.
Going past level 80 is pretty rough, so it's safe to say 100 is your end game goal, but feel free to put in those extra points when you want to get your grind pants on.
