Is there an easy way to switch builds? I don’t mind the cost aspect. I have one setup for open world and one for bosses. (Bosses find skeletons delicious but not filling, so are always eating them.) I want to be able to switch between them easily. Is there a way or is it 36,000 clicks?
This isn’t that kind of game. Diablo games are largely about committing for long periods of time to your builds. Heck, even the most popular one, D2, only allowed 3 respecs the entire game and those only individually came with beating the game on each difficulty. The current system is a dream compared to what came before and was made that way for players like yourself who want the ability to more easily respec. Watch some videos or read some content about damage buckets and you’ll be able to setup more well rounded builds without feeling like you need to respec.
Those restrictions didn’t add any enjoyment to the game, only frustration, which is why no Blizzard game since then has used that system.
I think it did/does make picking skills more meaningful because you can’t just pick any skill unless you want to respec. I didn’t like how Diablo 3 did it for that reason.
I think it’s nice that they made it easy enough to respec without having to start a new character just to try a different build.
However, I do wish they would add a confirm button before a skill point is actually used up when selecting a skill because that’d make it easier to plan out builds (though there are plenty of websites with build tools/calculators out there).
Yeah they definitely need an experimentation mode, or just a sim mode.
