at least 1 more slot for skill gems would be nice

Hello.
I noticed on my monk that I already use all skill gem slots and would like to use more. The issue is that spirit gems take up 2 slots and I replace the weapons basic attack with the better skill Tempest Flurry. So thats already 3 out of 9 skill slots taken. That leaves effectively only 6 more active skills to be taken. That is not even enough to fill the first skill bar.

I use a combo: Storm Wave as ranged attack with support gems to generate a lot of shock, Siphoning strike to generate energy charges out of the shocked enemies and 2 spenders for those charges: falling thunder for quick aoe clear and charged staff as self damage buff.
Then I also use tempest bell, cause its a in general great skill and hand of chayula to debuff strong single enemies like bosses.
Thats all 9 slots being used.

I could add more skills that get unlocked at a later level to the build, like the lighting skill that lets you jump backwards or splash a different element in, like a frost skill to freeze. I could also optimize my burst during a stun phase with another skill.

I don't say thats neccessary - I could complete content with less skills, but its more fun to play this way, to use more varied skill combos during combat instead of always doing the same things. And whoever doesn't want to, can just play with less skills and still be fine.
So I think 1-2 more skill gem slots would be a good addition for the game.

I have found a ring which adds +2 skill slots.

I didn't knew such rings exist. Thanks.
