The latest PTR (Public Test Realm) introduced some exciting changes to the Skill Tree, revealing new ways to obtain passives!
In Diablo 4, passive points used to be separate from normal skills, often forcing you to invest in unnecessary passives just to unlock the ones you wanted. With this Skill Tree update, you can now access some passive points directly through connected skills! And the best part? This change applies to every class.
Take the Rogue, for example – if you are running a Twisting Blades build and want to grab the 
Siphoning Strikes passive, you can now access it directly after putting a point into Twisting Blades. No more unnecessary point-spending!
The update also improves the Sorceress‘ skill tree, giving each elemental path easier access to nearby passive points. Previously, these were hidden at the back of the tree.
These adjustments make the Skill Tree much more flexible, allowing you to easily allocate points through various ways and possibilities. With direct access to passives through skills, you will be able to save a few skill points, which you can then invest in one of the new Ultimate upgrades or other must-have passives!
