Respecing and Ascendancies.

I am a long time Player of PoE 1 and have really enjoyed PoE 2 so far so this is not means as a criticism at all. This is more of a suggestion based on how this part of the game made me feel.

First I like the ReSpecing system very much but I feel that the early levels especially the first 30 levels are far too expensive to ReSpec. The gold income of the game up to that point is far to low to support the ReSpec cost to that point.

This makes it very difficult to experiment with builds during the Campaign. Or to fix mistakes with the build you are currently using. Maybe Balance the cost of ReSpecing the first 30 levels or so and make them lower to make experimenting with builds for new players/characters more feasible and reasonable and not so painful. After level 30 the ReSpec cost of points spent should scale with the level this way it would be easier to make changes during the Campaign when people are still experimenting with builds.

Second the ability to ReSpec Ascendancies. I understand why this is in the game because people would ruin entire builds if it didn't exist. On that same note there are only a possible 8 points for Ascendancies and it should be far more expensive to be able to ReSpec, or maybe finding certain Items to ReSpec them or at least there should be a Some sort of process in which you have to go through to be able to do so.

The reason I suggest this is Ascendancies feel completely unimportant now They only cost a pittance more than normal skill points to ReSpec. They are supposed to be you Ascending and Evolving into another form of being. They are suppose to Impact the Life of the Player/Character in profound ways and although they do sometimes change the abilities of Characters they feel like just 2 more passive points and no more important than one of these books with Weapon points in them.

Maybe there could be a Respec Trial sort of like in PoE 1 or (Insert cool Trial name here) that scales with the character to some degree That you have to complete To be able to Change the Ascendancies Path. (I do not think the player should be able to change the class of their ascendancy like they could in PoE 1 just ReSpec the points) I just feel they are made to feel unimportant the way they can just be flip flopped around like any other Passive Point.
