Just more choices, or the ability to swap perk for perk between them- with an upgrade point(s) even. Perhaps it's just personal preference to have a bit more choice, and being "like everyone else" The point could be made that there are now not only still "trash talents" but also entire "trash trees" But (and it's a big butt) it is very hard to define what makes something "trash." You and I may enjoy a completely different set of abilities and consider the other person's choices as trash. Not saying I do :) Having more choices, although it increases it potential of poor ones, also adds variety to assist more play styles.
