I just realized I played Diablo 2 wrong for 15 years

I always put points into every skill I unlocked because I thought you needed a balanced build. Last week a buddy watched me play and asked why I had level 5 in stuff like Fire Bolt and Ice Blast. Turns out you're supposed to focus on one or two skills and dump everything into synergies. Anyone else miss obvious stuff like that back in the day?

Gotta say this applies to so much stuff in life honestly. We all jump into things thinking we gotta spread ourselves thin when focusing hard on one or two things actually gets you way further. Just like in games once you realize the "balanced build" is a trap you start seeing it everywhere from work to hobbies to even how people learn new stuff.

Used to be all about that balanced build. Tried doing everything at once, work, side projects, learning guitar, lifting weights. Just ended up tired and average at all of it. Your post finally clicked for me. Dropped most of that stuff, now I'm actually getting good at the two things I kept.
