Background:

I have often wanted to take more than 8 skills with me. I don't play PvP and would never suggest to anyone that more than 8 skills should be used. I don't have the experience in PvP to make such claims. But for Hard Mode PvE I have seen many places that having just one more skill slot would have helped me. I try very hard and as a player who sucks I would love to have more options to compensate for my lack of ability to play well. And for $5 per skill slot I'd be willing to pay up for it.

How it would work:

Go into the NCSoft store or in-game store and buy up to two more skill slots for $5 each. The skill slots are only available for Hard Mode. The new skill slots operate exactly like other slots and would bind to 9 and 0 on the keyboard.

Additional ideas:

Allow for Hard Mode to have a second Elite skill or a fourth PvE skill on the skill bar but only for those who purchased an additional skill slot. And it's tied to how many new skill slots you purchased. For one skill slot you can have one or the other; a second elite or a fourth PvE. But for two new skill slots you can have one of each; a second elite AND a fourth PvE.

Caveats:

Balance. This will seriously tip the balance of the game. However, PvE balance is not as important as PvP balance. And honestly, I've felt PvE Hard Mode was unbalanced anyway. Regardless, someone with high energy could easily spam skills/spells in HM. But isn't that why we play this game? To feel bigger, better, and badder than the bad guys?
