Yeah, I don't like it either.
It's pretty likely everyone will just end up with raged induced whatever the best skills will be builds, copy cat upon copy cat. Why specialise if you can get all of the best spells of ALL schools, for free. No need to invest in pyro to get Armageddon, just get Armageddon. And Lightning Apocalypse. And Ranged Assassination, and the ultimate Melee Finisher.
Nah, I much prefer the Fire Mage, Ranger or Melee specialist. If you want to be good in something, invest in it. Not like now, where you points matter none.
