Fitness Pool going inherent in issue 19

The only genuine gripe I can think of is if Castle tries to sneak in a Fitness pool nerf as part of the change, arguing that the effects of Health/Stamina should be lower now that every single character has them. Then he promises that the new Incarnate slots will enable people with fully-slotted Health/Stamina to get back to their previous level of Regen/Recovery.

Castle is kewl, but he can also be sneaky like that sometimes. The effect would be people refusing to respec ever again, etc etc. Much DOOM would commence.

Yeah I know I'm biased because I have never forgiven the Psy Shockwave nerf and still feel a little bit sad whenever I notice how I'm barely using the power anymore and instead clunking around with the bulky vuvuzela that is Psy Scream.

Besides this, the only problem is if you want to completely rethink your build(s) due to the change, you're faced with the tedious and respec-numming process of cycling out 10 of your Enh at a time, to clear your slots and replace them with new stuff.

Personally I think I'm just going to build Recall and Stealth into a lot of alts as a quick and easy upgrade. Maybe Aid Self. Maybe drop Patron powers and switch to new pool powers. Who doesn't like TP/Stealth?

I'll give Whirlwind to my Weather Corr, too

What I would like to see is Fitness be inhernet, but not take sets =P
If you want set slottable Fitness, you have to use power picks for it.

Just my $0.02 for balance

This is already going to happen, as long as you don't ever respec again. You don't get inherent Fitness powers if you've already taken the pool, and have to respec out of them to have them come up as inherent. People don't have to change their slotting or power picks if they don't want to, and life will go on as usual.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

My builds arent going to change, all I am going to do is take concealment where fitness would've been and not slot them, as usable powers when absoltely needed, but more so for mule powers to slot LOTG 7.5s.

Honestly... I am VERY glad this is happening. As many have said this is a pool set I ALWAYS take on all of my toons! I am willing to gladly respec out and choose three new powers!!! It may take time but I am VERY happy! This is a great game changing deal!!!

I love it, dare I post one before Silas?

At the first post I thought this was a fantastic idea. But as I read further I'm now not so convinced. It will be great for new characters but to go and respec existing characters? I'm not so sure. Most likely leave them as they are unless there is something one of them absolutely needs in their build.

What's so bad or hard about doing a minor respec?

If you don't have any respecs left because it took 6 to do an overhaul on a build, might be tricky. ;P

120inf for Respecs on the Market, or $10 Real Money for each? *sigh*

That being said, if Fitness will still be slotable and just as powerful, I could respec into SS+Proc and RF for TF usefulness. Taking a Toggle and not slotting heavy for End Redux is CrazyTalk!

Psst, they give free respecs each issue. It's a secret so don't tell anyone.

True, my last "tweek" had over 20 IOs to move out. I looked them up on the Market to see what's was worth deleting to get down to 2 respecs.

As it is, yeah, an adjustment to Inherent Fitness wouldn't require more than one Respec I'd see since I don't have any free slots anyways for new powers. That is of course till Incarnate comes out (still not sure WTH that is.) :P
