Respec Changes

Recommended Posts

Last night I got on a level 50 character I hadn't played since last March.  Looking at it, I noticed half of the slots were empty.  Then recalled I had an interruption during the respec and lost a ton of enhancements (they can be replaced).  Annoying yes.

 

Afterwards, I finally decided to respec my first character on homecoming.  Didn't lose any enhancements this time!!  A major annoyance is the power trays.  I really wish you wouldn't populate it like that.  I would prefer you don't change them except for power that aren't selected during respec and let me deal with that instead of this large amount of work to do.  I am aware that power trays are likely wiped at the start of respec but it doesn't have to be that way, you could keep a list and ask at the end to use it to repopulate the trays.  There could be a import/export thing too.

 

These are for discussion purposes only not a request.  Discuss.

I just screenshot the UI before running a respec, then /cleartray and repopulate.  Not ideal, but, not awful.

I swear I remember Matt (Positron) saying that the trays are stuck at 70, and any more would "break the game". But, it was a long time ago, and I could be misremembering. 

And yeah, repopulating the tray is annoying, but /cleartray is a great start for me. 

Good tip on taking the screenshot of the power tray before hand!

I always take a picture of my trays with my phone so I can put them back the way I like them. I use /cleartray then open up powers window and drag and drop. By lvl 50 I have up to 7 power trays that I use for each character, so its not a small job.

I wish there was a respec-lite that let me move slots around!

Several times I've added a slot to a power, only to discover that it doesn't accept the enh I had planned to slot it with.

 

These days, I'm more likely to make a new build, rather than respec.

I don't respec unless I have a Mids build ready and waiting on a separate window.  Even with that, I mess up respecs.  I've had to back track several times.  And on a few occasions, I had to respec my respec.  FML

It’s always slots that get me when I magically have an extra one and am like oh I miscounted and proceed to see zero slots in powers only after I complete

I would love to be able to just move slots around because that is mostly what I am doing unless I swap out a power.  This would be great.

 

call it Reslot!

I've usually spent so much time tweaking in mids that I have it memorized, and then I still have it open in a window next to me, and I still mess up a lot and backtrack... and then I see something I want to change in the order I take the powers, and backtrack again.  And then after I'm done respec'ing I change my mind and respec again.
