This makes the games boring tbh. Why have a hundred skills in the game if you'll only ever use two or three?

Because the next run/character/whatever you can choose a different set of the ~hundred.
Only a few are actually useful (or meta) being the problem.
Slay the Spire addresses this via the randomness of which cards are offered, which means that you have to design a deck without being remotely guaranteed to receive the cards necessary for whatever meta deck you have in mind. Unlike Diablo it's also exclusively a single player game, so there's less pressure to compete and more freedom to just have fun.
I know, but the person who I first replied to talked about Diablo :)
