Having a skill gem limit is hurting my ability to use different skills to combo

I cannot fit all the skills I want to play with along with supported Spirit gems. I don't think there should be a limit at all, as even Gemling and even my current character is restricted which support gems I want to use by my attributes.

If you want more info, my character is an Invoker, and I wanted to try using Invoking skills, and while honestly they just suck besides Reaper Invocation I just can't fit them in, with my more defensive options. At the moment I can't even fit Tempest bell.

I know Unset rings exist, but they are honestly not worth the slot. I would like to see them reworked. Maybe you can put a non meta skill gem in them? So you can get a free spirit skill without the cost, you can't support them in there but would be cool. You can also have unique unset rings that either make a link with one support gem extra, or a very rare unique Unset Ring that you do get a spirit skill in there can it can be supported, or just maybe remove restrictions that let you place either meta or Blink.

EDIT: The board ate my post :/

Anyway I said, they could try to bring back the + levels to gems for Unset Rings. That would be nice.

In another vein of the skill slot count being too low, I'm running a Lich with the curse ascension nodes.

So I have +1 curse from ascension, +1 curse from keystone, and permanent duration curses, so I won't be wasting Invoke/Cast-On slots on any curses.

I already need to use 3 skill slots for 3 curses that I would only cast once at the start of a fight.
Then whatever spirit skills I choose to use, because I'm not just going to ignore my spirit and it's not the Lich who gets Darkness.
If I find a unique that gives another +1 curse, I could need 4 slots for curses, should I choose to use it.

Clearly this build is going to have to wear 2 unset rings, because there's no room left for my other skills.

IMO spirit gems slots should be separate from active skill slots

I don't disagree, but I think we'd run into the same issues on some classes that just get more spirit than others. Funny enough this is exactly what Spirit is SUPPOSED to do, limit how many meta gems you have, so yeah perhaps they can make meta gems not take up any slot.

That would also be really cool, because then Ingenuity still interacts with it if they can both roll over 50% which I'm not sure Ingenuity can do that still, but before the nerf I tried it, and two unset rings could get you 3 skill slots.
