New skill suggestion ! This one is for Good and Evil rangers but could go to Rogues as well (i feel right now both rogues have a 'defensive' ability, one is absorb and one is lifetap.)
For Good Rangers/Rogues you have Focus, toggle this on and your attacks gain 100% accuracy and cannot miss, costs SP per attack similar to Adrenalin.
For Evil Rangers/Rogues you have Alacrity, reduces your attack speed to 1 second, also costs SP per attack.
Different styles for different classes, i feel that ranger especially kind of needs their own toggle ability since they have limited absorb/adrenalin/lifetap/
Next, you talked about the possability of REQUIRING a wand/staff for spells which could really hurt all classes, so this skill could be very useful, call it Channel, having this skill lets you cast spells using any weapon in your hand, nullifying the penalty at the cost of one of your 12 skills.
Eventually there will be enough interesting and useful skills for every class that people will begin making cuts to crucial things. My barbarian already gave up Druidry a long time ago, i even often turn off Dual Wielding or Archery or Poison, just to make room. Achievements/Titles to get extra Skills would be great :P
