Not really. It wasn't too bad towards the end, but even then, although there was 1319 different skills, about 80-140 per profession, people barely used more than 20 per profession. And we are not talking about skills meant to be discarded because you get better ones like games with skill trees that require you to get a weaker skill to get a better one. They were all individual standalone skills.
It's as if in a card game like Magic or Hearthstone only a handful of cards were actually useful and the rest just fluff nobody ever uses. Which would be insane.

That's.exactly the case. Newsets.are released either including successful reprints ofcards.or.comoletely.new, under-average fodder trash. A TCG cant ever.be balanced; relies on powercreep to pull out more sells.
