So true. That's going to hurt... Incarnate system is coming out, and I won't be able to play with it the whole first week for all the respeccing...

Indeed.

The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

I'm still in the process of playing with mids for i19 builds for 40+ alts, and conserving stamina (and health if required) slots by popping them into Rest and Sprint temporarily along with some mental maths if set bonuses come from them, haha. I haven't even factored in the incarnate slot, ugh. XD At least I only have 7 level 50s or so, I'd hate to be the guy who has to think up i19 builds combining the alpha slot for 30+ level 50s. XD

Yeah, that's me. It's going to be a matter of prioritizing. Right now, pre i19, I'm respeccing builds that will do fine with a default slot in the Fitness powers (Traps MMs, Kin defenders, /Psi Dom for example). In the first week, I'll respec current leveling characters (about 4 of them) and pick around 10 level 50s. The rest of my 50s will either get respecced when I get around to it, or for a good number of them, never.

Surely this can't be right, can it? Can we get a red name to confirm that we will indeed get free respecs? *puppy eyes*

If you bothered to read the thread you'd have seen that someone provided a link to a Redname post that conforms we will be getting 2 respecs when I19 is released.

Given the magnitude of changes in Issue 19 with the fitness pool becoming inherent at level 2, we’ll be issuing one respec with the launch of issue 19 and a second respec exactly one week after launch. This means if you have dual builds you can respec both builds if you like, and if not you can use the first respec (if you like) to take advantage of the changes with I19 and bank the second respec for a later time.

Enjoy!

Gotta love drive by posting.

Personally my plan is to do full up planned respec for the 3 characters I plan to do Incarnate stuff with (2 level 50s who are already IO'd and one almost-50) and then do unplanned seat-of-my-pants respecs on the other 3 mid-level characters I have. My other 3 50s I basically never play so I'm not going to bother respeccing them.

Most of my characters don't use their second builds so I'm setting up the second builds so they are ready for when Fitness goes inherent then if necessary I'll use the respecs to tear out the enhancements from the main builds and reslot them in the second builds.

For the builds that don't use Fitness I'll just keep on as they are.
