More "Weapon Locked" class/builds... who wanted this?

Objectively sucks that abilities can only be used with an exclusive weapon type.

When are you going to undo this? Just like how no one liked the single support gem change, no one likes towers, and no one likes weapon locked skills.

I hope that you get around to changing this next - after the removal of towers of course - so that we can actually make fun and interesting builds. As it stands currently, weapons are the class, and weapons are the build.

Why can't I make a Whirling Slash Axe Warrior?
Why won't you let us do things? There is already zero balance in this game, so who cares. Just let the kids play.

At least in PoE1 you can use "Axe, Staff, Sword, Unarmed" and there are only very few abilities which require "can only be used with X" such as Power Siphon with wands. A couple of niche skills only usable with a specific type of weapon is fine.

Druids only being able to shapeshift with a talisman is a massive L. Like, can't say I didn't see it coming - making a shapeshifting class and shoehorning it into requiring a specific weapon type. It still sucks.

Weapon Locking abilities sucks, please remove next, thanks.
