Your gear determine your damage output and your level determine the type of gear you can use. Your skills therefore reflect this growth by having their attack based on % of weapon damge. Ex. At level 1, a skill might be 150% of weapon damage and you have a 6 damage sword. That skill at level 1 would grant you 9 damage. Later on, you are a much higher level, you are using a 40 damage battle ax. That same skill will then dish out 60 damage per hit
With this system, while you unlock new abilities as you progress, your old skills are still relevant and new abilities are unlocked through the use of skill runes. I think this prevents people from just spamming one ability per character type
I think it's easier to see how skills and runes progress
Try playing around with it and with different characters

Also, look in the game guides at the indv characters for the progression tree, and you'll see how the different skills and runes are acquired
