ranger concoction poe2

really cool skill I like it, however what I dont like is im forced to use a bow and quiver or I lose 7 skill levels and unlike poe 1 outside of spells, skill levels matter a lot in poe 2 for all skills. To even further that why cant we get % increased chaos damage on melee weapons or flat chaos damage?

Why are there no one hand martial weapon with + proj skills, or shields with + proj skills? Molten blast also suffers a similar fate, no martial one handed proj weapons.

Poe was has always been a game of creating crazy builds and the current version just feels like its full of soft restrictions. Sure I can use a shield cause I want block, but then losing out so many skill levels on the skill cripples its damage and makes it not viable.

I also really dislike the current skill system forcing you to use specific weapon types, I much more preferred poe 1's system of one hand/two hand/spell/blunt/blade/unarmed/generic vs being forced into using a certain weapon. The current system is to restricting. Another example of this is Vaulting impact, its a slam skill, so why cant staffs use other slam skills from maces.
