Well, its not a huge difference, classes werent able to reach gm in skills before too, and of course they would be weaker in the same skill\magic compered to someone who can. By the way, was the minimap also removed ?I find that not being able to see where enemies are like in the previous versions' minimap red dots, is a bit more annoying. I suddenly see the indication go red and start spinning around myself looking for some tiny skeleton i cannot see because he's colored at the same colors as the land :p
