If they want to kill "hybrid" builds, I hope they at least leave the bottom parts of each tree that would be reachable by say, 10 points or less not so limited seeing as you are going to have a few leftover points after filling a tree and then maybe a little more so you are not limited to pretty much being COMPLETELY identical and just throwing away the extra points.
I mean, why even bother having a talent tree if you don't want people to be creative? What makes the talents any different than choosing advanced classes if you can't customize a bit?
I don't know. Its just making me not care for the talent system after already sitting there looking at something like Hollow on the Darkness line which you could get by level 26/27 yet can only make use of half of what it does for you since the other half relies on an ability you don't get until level 50.
