It's pretty hard to read the skill tree overview since an abundance of information is presented.
And that's how I experience it, as a veteran player. For a new player, the skill tree must be simply overwhelming.
To make the skill tree easier to read I suggest the following changes:
- move the exact skill effect (% numbers) to the pop-up appearing when hovering over the skill, this information is necessary when inspecting a skill in detail, not in the overview
- remove the numbers 1-x behind the different instances of the same skill, you can <Skill 3> without unlocking <Skill 1>, so they are simply not needed
- Add unique icons for each skill, so each skill is easy to identify at the first glance, no reading required

I know you can create better icons than I did :3
