Respec shoud be free
" How will balancing be any different? 100 people with different builds, or the same person with 100 builds. Some builds will inevitably be more optimized for a particular encounter than others, because that's how the game works. In games where I could freely change my build at any time, I rarely did so beyond the part where I leaned the class and its skill tree, and after building for a specific play style. It doesn't make a difference if the Boss dies in 5 minutes or in 5.7 minutes, and usually it's not worth the effort to respec, change gear. However if an encounter is tipped too much against my build/playstyle I want to be able to change it without having to grind for a month or more. |

I'd literally play a different build every day if it was free
it costs way too much "buff grenades"
- Buff Grenades (Buff-Grenades) |

" Exactly, but not exactly. With free respecs there will notable amount of people with just ONE build (the one that has the easiest time). As opposed of everyone running lots of suboptimal (for a particular challenge) builds. |

" Literally wrong mindless grind with unfun build just to get gold to respec only encourages looking up already a meta build to use it and never go and try something yourself cause errors make u play in a unfun way for a long time to change it. There is no counterpoint to it its just logically correct. Even now whenever i look something about build in poe 2 its just 3 things either cast on X, summoner, granade mercenary and bearly enything else XD Last edited by BulawOwRealOne#5430 on Dec 11, 2024, 8:07:59 AM

" The "meta" build is not optimized for a particular challenge, it's just good overall. With free respecs we'll have "meta" builds for every single boss. |
|
" Again wrong for people to have meta build for every single boss they also need to get items and grinding for items is the most time consuming thing in path of exile but farming for items is actually fun but only when u have a build that u enjoy. |

" You're saying everyone will follow the meta, because there will be free respecs? I disagree for the simple reason because that's exactly what happens in PoE 1. There are tons of websites specifically to tell you what the meta is. As soon as you try to discuss your build with anyone in the community you're told that making your own build was the biggest mistake you made, and you should follow a guide instead. So in PoE 1 playing the meta is the ONLY viable option. I think if players are allowed to respec, there will be a lot more suboptimal builds made by individual people, and thus there will be more people understanding and enjoying the game, as opposed to it being limited to a few that enjoy spreadsheets, like it is at the moment.

" Games are balanced according to best players, not the masses. Masses don't know what they're talking about because they don't know how to play the game. If Respec becomes free, then Respec becomes the entire meta of the game. And whenever the masses ask for help or look build guides, all the guides talk about respecing the points over and over again. And the masses can't complain without being called scrubs. Just shut up and spend your next 5 minutes reallocating 30 points, otherwise you're not playing optimally. You think you want a free respec, but you really don't. The moment it is free, respecing becomes THE most optimal way to play. Then build guides will read like: "Lvl 20 before Boss A respec 20 of your points to the Chaos Resist branch. After the boss respec the 20 points back into Fire Damage branch" That will absolutely 100% happen with free respecs, free respecs are a colossally stupid idea.

" I already express my points if u want to have 50k player base at peaks leave the respec as it is if u want to have more players make it free its simple. My group of friends 3 out of 9 already stopped playing cause they cant experiment with their build while they dont have fun how the build turned out The rest still play they are a little slow not even at the endgame yet but im curious if they gonna stop playing exactly for the same reason.
