The /cleartray command works wonders in that situation.

It strips ALL the powers out of your trays and lets you drag things to where you want them, instead of playing Tetris with your powers.

I'm not in favor of this recommendation. Why? It only partially addresses the issue at hand. That issue being that the respec system is the worst it could be. What we need is an intelligent respec system, not this aged frayed bandaid.

At this point, almost anything to ease the annoyance of the current implementation (especially if it helps facilitate minor build changes) would be better than nothing at all.

I think the annoyance factor of the current respect implementation is inversely proportional to the scale of the desired changes to be made to the character build.

It probably doesn't really bother some people that much, they may be used to doing respecs numerous times on numerous characters. But for me, the sheer tedium of doing it under the current system is really a disincentive to making any changes at all, especially relatively minor changes.

Tweaking a build in Mid's can be fun -- unfortunately, I can't say the same for actually doing it in-game.
