The combination of Skills as an item and shared passive skill tree meaning theoretically any class can do anything within reason and logical sense. There are also Support gems that augment Active skill gems in major way (think like Diablo 3 Runes for a skill only you get to attach 4 additional ones to the skill and there are hundreds of options). You don't unlock new skills to use by leveling up, you unlock them by getting quest rewards, purchase from NPCs, loot them or trade with other players.

While this is an optional quest, it is highly recommended to do it, since it will award you with five stat points, an always welcome gift.
