Glacial Code Emperor

For some reason the game is now telling me that my combat level isnt high enough to learn these passives, but it isn't exactly clear as to what actual combat level I need. I wasn't aware that this was even a thing, because I learned the first level of the passive almost a year ago - and this was not a requirement then. I'm trying to play catch up here, but it seems like someone is trying to make it very difficult to actually get caught up. Not asking for a hand out or anything, but it would be nice to have a clear description of what is actually required for learning a skill. Combat level isn't listed in the item description, so I thought I had everything I needed - only to be disappointed by a hidden requirement. It sure would be nice to have some transparency around here.
