Please allow ascendancy respec, if not for EA then for the full release.

After seeing the clip from the tri interview, I am left extremely concerned. Please do not make the same mistake as LE and think the class identify is more important then player agency. Both with 1.0 and 1.1 in LE I found myself reaching a point with my character where I was unhappy with my build and wanted to try a different mastery. The only answer is just start another character, so I quit the game. Now I will admit PoE 2 looks so much more engaging and while I probably would reroll, that is someone who has been playing PoE for over 5k hours. I don't know that you will get that kind of dedication from someone trying the game for the first time. We are already looking at twelve rerolls instead of six because of this. And as good as those 3 acts are . . . twelve times, just to see all the classes in EA, that is ridiculous.

If you want new players to quit in droves then I suppose go ahead and leave it as it will be in EA. But for me, this has been the first bit of PoE2 news that leaves a pit in my stomach. I regularly level 7 characters each league and swap between ascendancies, the idea I would have to do that 36 times instead in PoE 2's campaign to have access to the same thing instead of 12, its just too much to ask of a player.

Please consider this idea carefully for release.
