What Are Skills And What Do They Do
Skills are actions you can perform as you're in a fight. In addition to letting you perform certain actions but in order to perform a skill, you have to equip it and manually activate it. It's also worth noting that skills are also tied to your weapons. So if you want to switch to a weapon in your inventory, make sure you have the proper skill to use it.
What Are Passives And What Do They Do
Passive Skills work similarly to normal skills. You'll need to spend Skill Points to unlock them, but you can tell them apart from normal skills by checking if they have a skill name next to them. For example, one Barbarian core skill is called Double Swing, and next to the skill, you'll see Core written right next to it, while one passive skill is called Endless Fury, and it doesn't have anything written next to it.
Another big difference between them is that you don't need to press anything to activate a passive skill. Once they're unlocked, the passive skill will always be put into motion
