I'm thinking that my level 50s that I'm not trying to squeeze every drop of performance outta will just not respec.
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
I'm even going to have to respec my level 6's, because I generally take swift or hurdle ASAP just to get it out of the way. But I am SO looking forward to running low level arcs even more without having to rest or not run toggles. So much stuff to look forward to.

I always told people that Stamina is not a vital organ; that they should be looking for ways to play the game that don't always assume that power at level 20 on every single freaking character.
But nooo, what did they say? "Not enough blue! Gotta have more forever! Stamina is good and the only thing that's truly bad is not taking it!"
I was tickled with glee the moment I realized so many people with their hordes of blue-barring, cookie-cutter characters would be sentenced to an eternity of respecification.
And what powers will be taken in their place? Ah, there are three, yet there are no slots to allocate for them. Either something needs to be removed from other powers, or the three power choices are utter throwaways just like they were in the past. It's a lose-lose!

I have a bunch of alts I -could- respec to take advantage of this change to Fitness, but honestly there's only like 3 or 4 I'll probably ever bother with in a serious way. It's cool the Devs are making this change - fortunately for my sanity I don't really feel obligated to "min/max" every character I have for it. YMMV. 
Loth 50 Fire/Rad Controller [1392 Badges] [300 non-AE Souvenirs]
Ryver 50 Ele� Blaster [1392 Badges]
Silandra 50 Peacebringer [1138 Badges] [No Redside Badges]
--{=====> Virtue ♀
ill prolly only respec a few guys because the current respec system is too bulky to mass respec toons
my dark/stone brute im not gonna bother respecing because i like his build as it currently stands and getting inherent fitness over 3 powers that would be nothing more than LOTG mules wouldnt benefit him much
i will be speccing my earth/fire/fire dom, i am very happy with the change for him because adding another 22.5% rech will put his final build at 140% global rech with no hasten for the awesomeness of permadom without hasten
most of my other toons arent even to the "building stage" so i will still be eventually giving them a respec anyway when i get around to working on them

This issue is my number one quality of life issue. Because without a change to respecs (which has been needed for years now), I19 is going to suck. I'm looking at least 10+ hours of just respeccing characters for the fitness changes. |

My idea:
Quick/assisted respec. Something like, if you had Flares slotted with six pieces of Devestation at the start of the respec and you still have the power six slotted at the end of the respec, the enhancements would remain slotted. Button on each power to move slotted enhancements to the Unplaced bin. Same treatment for power trays.

As a player that does not use Stamina, or health really, I am still going to get hit with this due to the fact that I use the Hurdle/Swift powers, depending on what travel power I take. All those toons that use it will need a respec lol.

I spread out making my new builds for all 112 characters I have over about a month from when inherent fitness was announced. I imagine I'll go at around the same pace when it comes to respecs... here and there when I feel like it, or when I don't really feel like playing but don't have other stuff to do.
You know what I'm really excited about on a lot of characters? Not getting new powers, but being able to get powers that I used to put off sooner. The late teens are going to be so much more awesome from now on.

Truth. Should actually help me stick with a lot of characters I'd otherwise get bored of in the teens. Maybe it's finally time for me to try another tank.

Hehehehee.
The blessing of alt-aholics though: respecs are way easier for lowbies.
...of which I have too many.
But yes, redoing the highbies can be a pain. Gol-durnit! I just did some ancillary pool revisions too!
The simple solution is to just cut back on sleep.
Time to start stocking up on respec recipes. I wonder how much those will sell for after I19 hits.
We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

That is so true. I usually just power level my toons from 1-22 or so, but now I can actually play them without wanting to bang my head against a wall. And with having the 60 month badge and Ninja Run, now I won't HAVE to take any power before ones I want. WOOT!

I have been thinking on this for a while now. I have decided to only respec as I play them, rather than just doing them all in one sweep.
As I said on my SG boards, I love the idea of having a self rez on all of my scrappers who can get one. There are a bunch of powers I can take just to hold Procs too, So I am excited even though I don't get more slots.

Same here. If I tried to respec all my characters at once I'd probably finish right around when I 20 comes out.|

Well, not really but it would feel that long.

So don't. I'm not respeccing any of my high level characters who selected Fitness powers. There are no powers I want that I didn't get. 3 new power choices for a level 50? WTH? I don't need that kind of stress making those selections. |

Of course I'm kidding. But I'll deal with each character individually over many months.

Because sucking end for the entire game with rare exceptions isn't most peoples idea of fun.
Personally, I now get to mess around with more build freedom, and maybe learn how to slot more efficiently.
You can strike me down now, and I will become more buffed then you can possibly imagine!
