Because ultimately I am always going to be getting new character points each week and bumping the 9 RPM skills, purchasing Perks, new levels of Magery and IQ will only hold my interest so long before I want to spend them on "other magical powers" for a character.

Their is nothing that Extra Attack and Enhanced Parry can't really do (except be applied to all combat skills), that someone with Weapon master and high skill levels can't do, but that does not mean that a well rounded weapon master looking into purchasing a few other advantages to go along with his schtict isn't going to look into advantages like that anyways.
Just so. I happen to see a Necromancer having this as part of his core ability - maybe it's the influence of Diablo II on my brain.
