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?

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

to get in the ladder (place 15k) you need to be level 68, that are 85-88 points .. so, having more is not that uncommen.

I suppose I should have clarified: Going past level 80*

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

"gimmick"

Wow, peoples stupidity still amazes me at times.

Are you high, retarded, or trolling? You seriously want us to be able to get 20% of the tree with one char? So you can do what? Make 5 chars and try the whole tree? I vastly prefer being able to get what we can get now out of a massive tree, that way I can create 10 more characters and design them differently each time and have little to no overlap in terms of skills picked.

Yeah......I wonder how overpowered people would become if they could access all of it, and tbh, not a good idea unless, well, balance.

So wondering why you can't get 20+% of the skill nodes? here's your answer.

GG.

This. Balancing the game as it is was probably a PITA, I can't imagine they could do it with that much of their "gimmick" available. (Curious why you think it's a marketing gimmick, voodoo)


Exiled, I have to ask: Your sig - What happened?

I felt it needed a change. I really wish we could use image signatures but that would make up so much clutter.

Put together massive tree, hype it to the world.

It what i saw when i first learned about POE. An image i think on IGN or maybe reddit, about how amazing this game was cause look at this 1300 skill tree.

Why not have 800 skills, 500, even 200, whats the point other them marketing to have a giant tree that you can get 8% of it and thats only if you max level and get the points from the bandits. How many have done that so far? none? Why not have a normal tree? Because no other game has had a 1300 skill point tree. Its flash, its something to distinguish themselves from other ARPG.



The first thing when you search for the game, the wiki on the first line proudly yells about the tree.

You cant find a single review for poe without a massive part of it being about the massive tree.

How many keystones can a templar get without going out of their way? 2 or 3 at max without ruining any sort of build?

How many skill points did you get in d2?
How many skill points do you get in any ARPG or RPG?

Do you get 8% of skills in dragon age orgin, dragon dogma, or anything at all?

So 260 skill points might be a bit much sure, but a theoretical 120 isnt enough out of 1300

They should increase the skill points given by quests up to say 75

That way you would be getting a decent number of points without having to get to a max level no one has seen yet.

Oh and the people who disagree with me, thanks for keeping it classy and you know just agreeing to disagree. Great manners.
