Returning player skill question

[Stroves]

I am returning after a 2-3 year~ absence and I am a bit confused with the skill overhaul that has taken place. Previously I remember being able to customize the behavior of some skills on the fly through my martial tome but now I do not see such an option. A specific example on Blade Dancer that I remember was having the option for Dual Strike to either have a vacuum effect or to provide Resist frames. Many skills had this sort of personal choice and it was fun choosing the custom paths that fit my playstyle. Is this feature still in the game and if so where can I perform such customizations?

 

For reference this is what the skill interface looked like last time I played: https://www.bladeandsoul.com/en/news/skill-trees/

Thoose are no longer in game since awakening patch which came ~March 2019. Now most of your skills are binded with others so if you want to have a certain skill you also have to switch another skill there is no individuality anymore. Every player has to play the same spec nowdays sadly.

That is a shame. The sense of individuality through meaningful skill customizations I felt when playing my class compared to others was a pretty big factor when I decided to come back. Thanks for the reply
