Ok, I have to say that I might be splitting hairs on this one, because I don't like the
way this was explained.
The Skill Packs are simply all of the non-elite skills in the game. You can obtain any and all of these skills through PvE play from skill trainers. Of course, this assumes that your character(s) will have all professions available to them and purchase every skill. As I understand it, this would be somewhere in the area of 1200 skills not including EoTN or the BMP.
You may also obtain these skills from the Priests of Balthazar using Balthazar Faction points (earned via PvP and Zaishen challenges).
For PvE only players, purchasing the Skill Packs can make things easier because you have quicker access to skills for your heros and your characters (via tomes). However it is not necessary. For PvP players access to the widest range of skills possible can be critical - you'll never know what an opponent will bring.
Having said all the above about Skill Packs in general, the Core Skill Pack includes skills that are
already a part of any of the other packs; buying it and any other pack would be a waste of your funds.
