That combined with an extra chance for DoT damage does give it an edge in boss fights.

But all in all, the most optimal skill build will always be changing especially now, as skills that are useless now may be useful later, and skills such as Inner Focus may be useless later. I would really say there's no real perfect skill build atm
I completely agree. I would go so far as to say we may see so many changes to the way the skills (and the attributes for that matter) are calculated with the many updates that are sure to follow the live release it may be prudent to hold off respecting until we see were the devs ultimately decide go with both skills and attributes concerning all classes, hopefully the first few weeks will give us a good idea.
