In Diablo 4, you have a vast array of skills and spells at your disposal, but you can only equip six in your hotbar. To make the most of your character’s abilities, it’s crucial to strategically select and bind your active skills.
Active skills have square icons in the skill tree, while passive skills that boost stats or enhance active abilities have circular icons. Once you’ve allocated skill points to your chosen active skills, you can bind them to your hotbar for quick access during combat.

Remember, some items grant additional skills not chosen in the Skill Tree. These will appear in the Skill Assignment Flyout, but you don’t have to bind them if they don’t fit your playstyle.
