Looks very good Tony! I'd like to add something that I found personally helpful:
If you can manage it, try to get a team of 6 ppl together - 3 low level ppl and 3 high level ppl. The 3 low level should all be within +/-1 lvl of each other (for instance, a 24, 24, and 25). Ideally, the 3 high level ppl should be as high above 30 as possible.
When you start the Respec Trial, BEFORE the team leader talks to Tresparciel, the lowbies Malefactor down the higher players. That way, you go into the trial as 2 lvl 25s and 4 lvl 24s(using the player levels from the previous example).
The spawns on the final encounter are based off the level for the highest member of the team. In this case, the AV and all the CoTs will be level 27. Once inside the final mission, the lowbies unmalefactor the 30s and then get lackeyed up to the 30s. Now you have a team of 6 level 30s fighting 27s. This makes completion of the respec trial MUCH easier, especially if you just need the respec.
The first 2 times I failed the respec, and tried this method on the 3rd. Works like a charm.
Great guide!
Great Site Tony
keep up the good work

Hey all, I just finished writing up the articles for the Tree of Thorns Respecification Trial and for Sparcetriel in the Paragon Wiki. I know there are at least a few guides to the CoV respecs here, but I am hoping that the respec trial article provides a copmlete, yet succinct, strategy guide, and the Sparcetriel article provides all of the gory details of the missions that anyone may want. I still have a few miscellaneous things to shore up (like adding information for the later trials), but it's pretty much complete as-is and should serve as a very useful reference.
Obviously, if I've made errors, feel free to let me know or correct them yourself. (The wiki is community-editable.)
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
