Okay, maybe I'm making an assumption or two. Let's say your powers aren't exclusively slotted for damage and recharge for a moment. Oh wait, no, if that were true you wouldn't need Stamina. Carry on, then!
See how I'm exaggerating here? That's the same thing the members of the Church of Stamina (who religiously take it at level 20) have been doing for years. "I have to rest after every Rikti Monkey unless I take Stamina! Only a super rare uber build doesn't have problems with Endurance without taking Stamina!"
What a load of bullony. It's okay if an enemy takes more than ten seconds to kill, really. People aren't going to ever learn that, though, now that Stamina's forced on everyone at level 2. C'est la vie, I suppose. Can't say I never tried to help. (-:

Between inherent Fitness and the Alpha Slot, I don't know how anyone could *not* respec their level 50.
It's a moral imperative.
The Alpha Slot should come with a resp...

Speeding Through New DA Repeatables || Spreadsheet o' Enhancements || Zombie Skins: better skins for these forums || Guide to Guides
The Alpha Slot, at last report, does come with a third build, and that's arguably a better way to go about it.

BTW, what AT do you primarily play? Just curious.
I personally am loving everything about i19 and look forward to playing around in MIDs for hours on end. I'm odd that way. It's all a matter of opinion really. I'm not going to bat anyone across the face because they don't adhere to this mindset. You are who you are, and that's it.

Ah no problem I got Patience, Don't need Mids either, I19 going changes our builds I get it, but it's not a threat but a good Change. We don't need to waste the other slots now on the Fitness Pool. We can pick another travel Power or get Aid Self or another power we always wanted. So what we going need to do some work, no big deal, then again you don't have to respec either if it's to much trouble for you.
Never play another NcSoft game, If you feel pride for our game, then it as well, I Superratz am Proud of all of you Coh people, Love, Friendship will last for a lifetime.

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! *Cackles maniacally while lightning flashes in the background* |

I haven't done ANY of the mid to high level REDSIDE content, let alone half the task forces and none of the strike forces...
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!
Repurposed
Due to the major changes to the pools, the devs have said they plan to give us two freespecs with the issue as well for every toon.
I intend to do this character by character. The way I play, I already have tons of deprecated characters that I haven't logged into for a year or more, so this really won't be that much of a change from status quo. I log into one that hasn't been logged in for 700 days, and I do a respec... Which is little different from what I've had to do anyway, since most of my old builds suck.
Doing all respecs all at the same time just feels... Unnecessary.

Unfortunately, I have a mild OCD that demands characters are maintenced. It keeps me VERY busy...
Hmm, 54 level 50s to respec (and probably a few more by the time we get to I19).
I'm going to need a rather large load of LotGs I suspect, and the solution for several of them will be the "take stealth pool and ram 3 LotGs in" one.
I don't take stamina on every toon, and my one really gross toon (my permadom) who thus far has not taken the fitness pool will benefit a lot from this.

I can understand that. I've been described as OCD, myself, in that I demand all of my characters have access to the same resources and find myself unable to "pool" resources from others into just one, but my cure for feelings of "needing" to do something is typically laziness. I feel the need to fix up all of my characters, yes, but the feeling that I couldn't be arsed is significantly stronger |

I'll have to try that. Of course, when I feel lazy, I just wanna play CoH, but then the characters will need to sell or respec or something and I'll feel guilty and the cycle continues, lol. I'm just glad that it seems I'll be busy in this game for a very very long time.

I very much agree with feeling guilty with not doing something that I should, but... I should be doing my job right now, and here I am posting on the City of Heroes forums. I can live with feeling guilty

Jack Wolfe is going to be very popular for a while. I wonder how many people crowded around him it would take to make it impossible to click.
And thinking about that, what happens if you are hovering when you begin the respec? Do you drop to the floor as soon as you start?

They'll be freespecs so you can just /respec for the first two, after that if you need more you'll have to see JW.

245 alts for me. Lots of respecs in my future, too! I'd have more alts, but I've cleaned out some of the servers a bit. Yeah, I'm slackin' in the alts department. |

My Characters
I think it'll only take a few weeks before everyone's respeced the avatars they want to respec, and then the inhrent Fitness pool will just seem totally natual like all the other changes we've had.
Plus, I think it'd be kinda weird to respec an avatar that you were happy with under the current power system - like if you like the powers you have, and are happy with whatever Fitness powers you've taken, then it seems like a waste of time to respec them.
