It takes me 1 to 2 play sessions to get a new character from level 1 to 55+ using campaign skip… We’re talking a few hours tops. I’m not against mastery respec necessarily, but it is such a minor obstacle that I do not think it should be anywhere near the top 10 priorities for LE right now … Seems like a waste of time and resources until maybe when EHG has a lot of free time.
A few hours to make new character in order to have a different mastery is easy-peasy.
I also kind of like having lots of different characters with different builds anyway … I don’t particularly like respeccing to different roles, but I do like respeccing within my role. I’d rather have another character to switch to when changing roles - just feels better for continuity, level of effort and RP.
I have personally never really wanted to respecc, but I do want a way to get the skills under other masteries.
So many times I’ve begun to build something cool only to find out that one skill I really want is locked away behind another mastery. Ooh, I just create a new char then. No, my other skill I want to use is locked behind my current mastery.
Some you can get via uniques, but then it’s the wrong damage type or something.
So for me it would be fun to be able to get to the other skills (as in being able to specialize in them) in some other way.
Maybe from the unique you got equipped?
This way you still won’t have access to skill points which is another of a mastery identity, and you are locked with an item you can’t change.
