In case you missed it (deep within another thread), Bashiok stated that +skills gear might not make it into D3:

Q u o t e:
It hasn't been decided if gear will provide +skill stats. I'd say it's probably more likely that if items were to include stats that augment skills, that they would add specific things to skills instead of just adding more points into them. But nothing has been decided.

I have to say that I'm surprised by this comment, but not necessarily disappointed. Yes, +skills gear is cool, it makes your character better... but at what cost? +skills gear is something that all builds can benefit from. There's less variety of desired items when considering that everyone wants +skills affixes on everything. As long as the game is balanced such that +skills gear is not needed to be effective, I don't see any problems with not including them.

Besides, if they change their minds later, +skills gear could always be added with a content patch / expansion.

What do you think?
