Is weapon boating gone? My Review of the Skill Tree v2 - Mechwarrior Online
316The second iteration of the new MWO skill system is available on the test servers and I took a look it. PGI listened to the community feedback and implemented some updates that were (in my opinion) crucial for the success of that system. First of all they reduced the cost to unlock a skill node significantly in terms of C-Bill and XP investment. But they did not stop there. You can now reset your skill tree completele free and adding an already unlocked skill node does not cost you any C-Bills anymore. You only need to invest 50% of the initial XP cost for that.
Also, the overall structure of the different skill trees changed a bit. Now we have a single big skill tree for all weapon systems with three different branches for energy, missile and ballistic weapons. The interesting thing about that is, that there are neutral nodes for cooldown and heat management scattered within those branches that apply to all of your Mechs weapons. This highly favors mixed Mech builds because you then have acces to more general skill nodes when you go down multiple branches of the tree.
Also, PGI reduced the number of mandatory useless nodes to get to something you really want. There are still some skills in some trees that are not that appealing to take but the overall number decreased a lot.
