I guess it never occurred to me that someone had never respecced before yesterday. I have done it twice with Gitr, and my ex-roommate must have done it 15 times or so. I’m usually pretty conscientious when I choose a talent point, so it has never been a big deal to me.
But for those of you who have never emptied your talent trees to try another build, here is how you do it.
- Go to any of your class trainers in any village, town, or city. They say they are there to help you, and they are.
- This is going to cost some money, so they want to make sure this is what you want to do, so proceed.
- Then he makes it aware to you that you are going to fork over some gold to have the privilege of starting over with your mad skills.
- First time: 1g
- Second time: 5g
- Third time: 10g
- Fourth time: 15g
- Fifth time: 20g
- Sixth time: 25g
- Seventh time: 30g
- That’s it. You’re all done with getting dumb again. Now go learn something!
Here is the way that works:
You get the idea. Well, the good news is that the costs maxes out at 50g to re-train.
I respec all the time. On two occassions I have respecced, then during the process clicked the wrong goddamn talent and had to pay the next level price to fix my mistake.
Funny thing is, I always respec just to move around one or two talent points, never my entire tree. At this point I don’t think I’ll have to respec anymore, but that’s what I said last time too.
That said, I think I’m the only Affliction-specced warlock on my server, judging by the amount of felguards I see everywhere.
Picking the wrong talent sucks. It’s easily fixable when you’re leveling if you wanted a point there eventually, but totally sucks when you’re a 60 and have to start all over because of it.
My ex-roomie is a rogue and was constantly going beween combat specs for daggers or swords. It was quite humorous.
I seem to be quite comfortable with my spec chioces. Hardly ever respec. When i do decide to do it, a patch comes out changing skills. So i get e free one lol! I guess im one of the strange ones here too. I always go for off spec on my characters. Warlock=Affliction , prolly one of the few on my server too. Rogue=Assassination. Most are combat/sublety very very few Assassins. I like my daggers an poison. never can seem to stomach the loss of speed. I might try a sword soon. *shiver*
Personally, I think Affliction is da bomb. Rhone is affliction and when we run together, all he has to do is run around with my bubble and a Renew on him. Everything eventually falls over and dies. It’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen. 8 level 50+ mobs just falling like dominoes.
Agreed on that note, Affliction is the epitome of warlock PvE builds. I laugh at my demonology-specced buddies (three warlocks in a guild with about fifteen people, is that odd?) when they have to sit down and drink or when I annihilate them on the damage charts.
Problem of course is that an afflock can’t one- or two- or even ten-shot anything. You drop your dots and hope you stay alive long enough to see the kill. Fortunately Unbalanced Affliction helps this problem A GREAT DEAL, but I haven’t put it into practice much since I haven’t been in a battleground since L49.
