Thanks a lot for this, super useful feedback! The skill tree actually doesn’t depend on previous nodes, so yeah, you can take any node as long as you have the points for it. The fact that it looks ordered is something I clearly need to make clearer visually. The junk-gear grind for forge levels is fair too, I like the idea of a bulk-smelt option, noting it down. And I’ll dig into the melee vs range balance. Really appreciate you putting 4 hours in and taking the time to write this up.
