Unlimited full skill tree resets idea.

Hello there

I’d like to put forward an idea of selecting a toggle for unlimited skill tree reset until you find a skill tree that you like.
I know we have the virtual skill tree but you can’t test your character out using that.
I’d like to be able to reset my skill tree as many time as I want, testing/trying different ways to level up my character, while testing out the character inbetween, changing parts of the skill tree that I don’t like, removing and re-adding skills in the tree.

I’m trying to make a complete change to my character since my molten strike doesn’t work anymore since they destroyed that build years ago, they nerfed it hugely, I’ve never been able to recreate that build since.

Trying to reinvent a build requires endless skill tree reset, 1 reset is simply not enough and I am not going to spend money into the game, as it will take a lot and I don’t have that kind of money atm

Thank you for reading.

They've sort of gone in this direction a bit with gold respeccing, and it being cheaper at lower levels. I think in general it has been a good change. I think there does need to be some level of cost/permanence to the choices, but how they have it at the moment is probably a good balance. I think it makes levelling and respeccing in the first few acts more forgiving if you want to change the build, and opens up some options to being able to pivot early on.

I would not want to see it more easy than this though. People are asking for full control over changing the atlas passives tree for no cost as well. I don't think it is a good idea to make it very easy to change at any time. It's not a thing where having full control over it would improve the game in my opinion, there needs to be some friction in the game to overcome having everything instantly.

They specifically do NOT want free unlimited respecs in this game. And frankly, they shouldn't exist in ANY game like this. Why?

1) Choices matter: having even a minor cost to respec still offers importance to your choices. Being able to completely undo anything, at anytime, without playing the game completely removes the impact of "choice".

2) Creating New Characters is part of the game loop: unlimited respecs a la D3 and crap completely remove the need to make any new character of the same type. You level 1 barbarian in D3 and you......never have to level another ever again. This is antithetical to a huge part of the game.

There should be DESIGNATED full respecs for free, but not unlimited. You should "earn" a respec at Act 5 completion, Act 10 completion, and MAYBE level 90. If that were implemented, gold respeccing should become more expensive (or removed) in favor of more limited regretting for minor changes.
