Respecing

[yetyzyma]

My situation:

77 sorc. Did T5 maps and somewhere around T6 realized "oh my build isnt enough to do it". So I try 2 other builds, spend half a milion golds on rerspecig - trying, many exa orbs on trash gear... And now I have useless socrc with useless build with no money, orbs, damage or survival. I struggle in T1 maps rare mobs and Im f***d up.

Why? Why respec is so costly and why did this game cripple experimenting so much?

[surray]

respeccing is so much cheaper and simpler than in poe1.. you just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up apparently. maybe think before you act next time and don't kneejerk switch builds into some random ♥♥♥♥ you don't understand.

While i do agree with surray, one could put it a bit nicer i guess. ^^

A lot of times its an issue with gear, not with the build itself. But yeah seems like rerolling to a new char might be the best solution here ^^

"Cheaper and simpler" dousent mean is good. Its punishing, cripples any experiments for people with IRL and leads to one way playing like find plan with tells you do this, than this and than this. Well done

Ins simplicity ive few possibilities to do

1) boringly grind lowlvl to make some gold, buy 3rd party orbs for real
2) throw 130h of gameplay on character to bin and start again
3) leave it be a play other games

Dissapointing

no way you spent half a million, just no need at all.

[Johnnie Walker]

1st rule of respeccing. have enough money to do it twice at least

[KLIES]

i dont know.. they build a endless skilltree and making respec that costly ? cmon..sense ? ...

[XhanbaoX]

agreed, they need to increase the gold drop or make it cheaper.

[Boomshanka]

Its already super cheap. basically free

[Dr. Rockso]

Sucks to be you I guess.

[Yukkipedia]

it's so much cheaper than POE1, doing 10-15 map and selling most blue/yellow will let you respect 20+ node, poor planning on your part doesn't mean the game "punish" you for experimenting

How does one screw up a build so much it costs half a mil each time? I'm 79 and it only costs like 3k a point. There's no way you are respeccing every single node and even then that's only ~230k

People think "its always been this way" means its both good and must be a thing.....


There is still zero logical reason to have a re-spec cost. Not heard one single logical argument for it.

"only" so when you are try to respec three times you easily spends half of milion. Ive just try one build, gameplay wasnt for me, fine try other one, looks good but needs much more better gear, fine, try to respec back to original build and whoops, dont have money... well done. So I have useless hybrid build no money, few maps with I cant beat...

Let me remind you, we are playing PoE2 EA, not PoE1. I dont really care about PoE1, now we are in whole end of 2024, not 2015...

Okay ... i don't see what year we have, has to do anything with how GGGs philosophy is on free respecs. They have a cast there because thats how they want it.

Now is it a high cost? not if you do any form of mapping... you usually get enough stuff / gold to do a full frespect rather quickly.

Does that mean that respec cost is okay?

Well for me, yeah ...
I don't see a reason why you should be able to just constantly switch builds. But i am also not that invested in the issue. So for all i care make it free ^^ just don't see a big iissue with how it is currently implemented
