Trading the charged bolt for something else would sacrifice my spam killing ability and changing the ice beam means I get worse against heavy targets.
I don't know how it is in Diablo III, but in Diablo II (esp. on higher difficulty levels) enemies with immunities were quite common (very often immune to 1 element, sometimes to more than 1). If that is still the case, some spell variability will be enforced that way.
I haven't seen immunity yet but there's not much elemental variety to my arsenal. Also if you change an equipped slot you have to wait a while before you can use the new skill. Since you don't choose what to unlock, just what to equip you could theoretically always switch to a different set of spells if that's required but the time penalty and clunky menu mean that you don't want to do that if it's not absolutely necessary. E.g. I don't switch my charged bolt to magic missiles for boss fights.
It's mandatory closed Battlenet. Diablo 2 had the option for closed Battlenet but didn't force it, Diablo 3's theme is forcing things on you so of course that choice is gone.

getting passionate about blizzard commercialising their games and treating their target audience like idiots is itself idiotic. Many gamers are unintelligent. It's a waste of energy spouting nerdy gibberish about the rights of gamers and how blizzard dont wuv us anymore. Blizzard don't owe the public anything. They are a business selling a product that must make sufficient profits to please their shareholders.
If you have a problem with the game or blizzard, just don't buy it. I certainly wont be.

which i do.. since warcraft 3.
Still, blizzard had some very unorthodox refinement methods.. and it seems it has abandoned them.If a mechanism didnt work in the past.. blizzard would write "when its done" retreat into the fort and do what other companys would call a total rewrite. Not anymore.

because if we bitch enough they do hear it. Stinks are made.
I do appreciate that the game shows detailed stats on damage reductions and such but while it shows active damage boosts it doesn't show the base damage (at least not for me as a mage).
