>GGG used to brag about how the skill tree was so open and every class could use any skill in PoE1, but has that changed in PoE2?
skill tree has like 3x as much travel nodes in poe2 and no Scion/center path. You're way more railroaded into your class's starting area as a result. You can use maces as a monk/merc/witch/etc if you want but playing warrior and pathing to right side is hard, its easier to play a minion warrior than an evasion stacker since it's fewer nodes to get to the top of the tree than go from far left to far right.

Warrior starting position to Subterfuge Mask (one of the main ways to be a hybrid build) is 27 points of pure travel to nothing but +5 attribute nodes.
