And yet at no point in the process of moving 'down' the Full Thrust (+1) line can you ever apply anything 'up' the Chaos Thrust (+1) line, nor can you viably self-buff or open-DoT until its completion. And you certainly can't use multiple of the four choices simultaneously.

So why should any of those four decisions require any more than one key? There is no advantage to spending those extra 6 button slots on it.

Again, I would PREFER that there were such an advantage. I would prefer to have 10 actual, separate weaponskills, not just 4.
But as long as we do not, why purposely bloat the bars, capping out the amount of actual decisions we have available to us all the sooner?
