Diablo 3! Skill tress out.

Check them out here, http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk or here.
Frankly I'm surprised at the lack of total skills compared to d1 and d2. Now granted some low level skills in d2 were only worth putting 1 point in some others say static shock, weapon masteries etc..... were a must have late game.
Now I'm not sure which game came up with the rune spell system first but, well diablo 3's recent change kind of feels like a less well implemented http://www.pathofexile.com/ (path of exile) Rip off.
I like the idea to socket spells to make them your own, but with out different effects for each socket and only having 5 sockets which all pretty much do the same thing. I doubt we will see the same variety of characters we did in d2.
The Witch Doctor does look pretty fun though I must say.
It's looking to shape up to be a nice game, with starcraft 2 well recived, can diablo 3 make the same kind of comeback? Blizzard showed us that they can make old games new and good but the latest WOW expansion was notably bad. With some many high quality games coming out for the Arpg genre (path of exile, Blizzards own SC 2 mods, League of legends, and I'm sure more I forgot that people will tell me about). Though built in from launch PVP with definitively help.
