Cast on freeze nerf and overall thoughts so far.

The thing is also, I was a CoC monk, not even cast on freeze. I was seriously struggling making my build work, it was far from being overpowered. But it was also nerfed to oblivion.

I did everything I could to deal with my mana issues, all mana regen nodes on the tree, mana on kill, mana on all items etc. I also weren't proccing my coc as often as CoF.

Heck, I can't even get 60% crit chance. It really makes no sense for CoC to be nerfed the exact same was as CoF did. It's just lazy work.

If you have 200k gold and it cost 500k gold to respec.
How are you supposed to farm these 300k gold without a working build do you think?

The honest answer is:

1) you respec as much as you can to cobble together something working again.

2) you go backwards in terms of difficulty and farm at lower levels to get more gold to respec

3) as you get more gold, you respec points and get closer to where you want to be, slowly increasing difficulty and being able to farm gold faster.

The above is NOT fun. It's work, it sucks, and it probably means some people will stop playing the game.

I hope respec in general is something they put more thought into in the coming months.

It feels like they need to find a more nuanced solution that both keeps the "weight" of choices players make, but isn't so inflexible it pushes people out of the game when they do mid season/league balance changes.[/quote]

As I just mentioned in my most recent comment. I wasn't even playing CoF but my build is now unplayable.
I mean, I can still kill rares and uniques fairly easy, but white and magic mobs.. oh my, they take a long time. It's a real frustration and time consumer.

What i am not really following about respect cost, it is how it seems so prohibitive for some people, money is flowing as soon as you reach map T1, i don't even know what to do with it, i could respect 2 times if i wanted to.

For the nerfs part, i am all for it, i hope they nerf anything broken as soon as they find it even if it hurts some people build, we are in EA for a reason and the last thing the game needs is a D4 situation with completely broken build ruining any activities or the economy.

The health of a game like this is based on proper balancing.

Will be more weapon, classes and ascendancies soon (more skills as well) so they have to be drastic and quick.

500K to respect??
So for people being level 90 then.
I just checked and my highest character is 72, it cost 4300 per nodes.
I dont think you have to respect the full tree to make something decent.

if you respect 40 nodes, around 170 000 and dont tell me people which reached level 80 or 90 do not have 1M in bank, the gold is flowing.

Regardless i guess they will give a free respec soon because people are crying and why not.

Moreover you do not need to level up your gems, it is also flowing so i don't see the big deal, it bothers me(a bit) for people which tried to make a build not copying pasting the last broken build from streamers but often it is just the copy paster affected by nerfs and then i am all for it.

CoX was overpowered and needed to be adjusted but the nerf was too extreme. Even with maximum investment in energy generation, it's too inconsistent to be useful. Keep the new system and bump up the base energy generation, or lower the required energy to trigger.
