Factions: New Skill List

During the FPE I was able to look over all of the new skills of the core professions. Alot of the new skills looked cool but some thing bothered me. There was alot of unoriginality with the skills. One example, 2 old mesmer skills "Inspire enchnments" and "Inspire Hex"; new faction skills "revealed Enchnments" & "revealed Hex". Both the Inspire and Revealed verions do the same thing. The problem is these aren't the only skills to do so. In all I'd say about 10-20 skills in each of the orginal classes are just renamed versions of an old skill and they do the exact same thing. In closing this Unoriginality bothers me since one of the things Arena Net was billing Factions on was that it would have new skills for each of the old classes, but if 10-20% of these are just reprints with a fanceier name, it doesn't make them new skills.
I was wondering if anybody else noticed this and what people think about it.


Also if the content of the new chapter is going to be as unoriginal as some of the "new" skill the game will get old fast.

yeah i think the "inspired ___" ones are for the prophecies campaign, but the "revealed ___" ones are for factions..so its if you bought one version or the other your not missing out on that skill, same for the others like it..

Um dude theres 25 new skills for each prof and 5, yes 5, skills that anet never mentioned before which are copies for each class. Those 5 aren't counted in the 25 either. Think of it as a bonus. Having 2 of the same skill without having to use echo will save alot of hassle and open up some new build ideas.
25 new skills for each class is what Anet promised and thats what we get.

You may want to look in these threads instead of starting a new one on the same topic.
