The tree made it seem like you were able to expand your choice because you could pick talents from each tree (MM could pick shit from survivals tree and BMs tree), but that didn't make for any choice realistically, we still went with what was best, not with what we wanted (unless you didn't raid and didn't care for min/maxing, but if that's the case then the current talent trees are the same in terms of choice). Most things we chose were also passives, as the devs already stated.
