From Diablo II product page note

What was said about Diablo II

  • Diablo II shows its skill tree up front so players dream of upgrades. Each level-up gives a stat boost and a skill node, and players spend much of their time dreaming about later upgrades. A Necromancer goes from a single skeleton to an army, a clay golem and an undead mage in about five hours.

    The skill tree is visible from the start, so players can see what they are building toward before they unlock it.
