Is there anyone who's NOT changing a character for inherent Fitness?

Lots of mine are respeccing, but a lot of them aren't going to do it right at the starting gun.
I want to get a good feel for how inherent Fitness changes the build before I go committing to respecs (a task I'm not too fond of). The only ones I'm doing right away are my characters that utilize d both sides of the dual-build feature (which makes for, IIRC, 2 Defs and a Corr). That way they can use both freespecs.

I had a great time playing with you!
Most of my characters, to be honest. Respec'ing is a pain, and while the extra powers would be nice I'm not finding it to be a compelling enough reason on most of my characters to find it worth the trouble.
I have found maybe 2 characters that I will not touch. I like them the way they are. Everyone else is being changed and some are getting major changes.
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
I went thru my 80+ characters and found that only about a dozen needed to respec because they were using Fitness. Of them only the 2 50's actually needed to have their builds tweaked to take advantage of the new power slots that Fitness going inherent will be opening up.
I doubt I will get around to respecing on all characters - too many and impacts on facebash time.
But its more a time thing, not that they wouldnt be improved.
Newer characters and a few others I havent taken fitness on I wont bother.
Its really opened up power choices for me on the sub 20 characters.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
Right now, I only have plans to respec 2 of my characters for IF. The rest will remain as they are.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
I get the level 6 travel power vet badge fairly soon, so will be respeccing on all alts after that arrives.
Otherwise I'd need to do everything twice.
At the moment, I'm more concerned with having to rethink a lot of my slotting on all alts to try and make the most out of the Alpha slot. A lot of peeps keep focusing on the non-ED aspect of the slot, but it opens up far more possibilities than that
e.g. you could take Cardiac and then drop a tonne of set IOs that give endurance reduction (usually as part of a dual Set IO) since the Cardiac will pick up the slack and more. That means the ability to slot more procs, or taking different IOs from within a given set, or rethinking which sets you've taken, etc.

I haven't really made any sort of lineup of characters to be respecced. I'm happy with most of my characters as they are and can't really see the point in wasting time JUST doing respecs- my time online's limited as it is.|

I have yet to consider my other toons, but Pinky is going to remain as-is. Does anybody else have a character who isn't in line for the IF respec rebuild? |
For many of them, I've got a standard few situational powers that'll work single-slotted if I ever do a respec and need to come up with a quick few fillers.... virtually any of my heroes could opt to be stealthy after all.... or apply basic first aid... or have another aspect of their travel power for certain situations. None of those will really hurt my character concepts, none will be part of my basic lineup, but all of them could have situations where they're useful.

Other than name place holders and costume test characters, all of my characters will get a respec.
Actually, my level 50 PB won't until they buff PBs.
She's been gathering dust for 4 years and can keep gathering it.
H: Blaster 50, Defender 50, Tank 50, Scrapper 50, Controller 50, PB 50, WS 50
V: Brute 50, Corruptor 50, MM 50, Dominator 50, Stalker 50, AW 50, AS 50
Top 4: Controller, Brute, Scrapper, Corruptor
Bottom 4: (Peacebringer) way below everything else, Mastermind, Dominator, Blaster

None of my characters had fitness to start with, ergo I won't be needing to change any of them.
I'd say taht there's no character that could not use an extra Leadership power... If only for when running teams.
"Men strunt �r strunt och snus �r snus
om ock i gyllne dosor.
Och rosor i ett sprucket krus
�r st�ndigt alltid rosor."
I'm gonna be respecing every last one of them. I don't have a single character whose build doesn't include at least one fitness power - even my triform warshade and regen scrapper have swift, just because I can't stand the base runspeed. Even when I'm unsure which power(s) I'd want to replace the fitness ones, I can still use it to move interesting powers earlier in the build. I won't be doing it all at once, of course, but slowly over the next few months as I play my many alts, they'll get respec'd. The only ones who would escape are those who were low enough level that they hadn't taken their quota of fitness powers yet, and I don't even remember off the top of my head if I currently have any like that.

I feel that, and I considered more Leadership powers on the Pink One, but she already has an endurance-heavy build. But I do agree that if you can afford it endurance-wise, Leadership is never a bad choice.

I don't think I will respec many at all. It will be tough to add new powers that do not need slotting.
My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

I'll instead be grabbing Resilience, MoG, and Stealth, with MoG and Stealth holding a LotG +7.5, and swapping a slot of Stun from Eagle's Claw to Combat Jumping to hold a third LotG +7.5.

True, but if you're running in a team, those numbers aren't in a vaccuum. There are many defender/controller/corruptor sets that have team endurance recovery techniques that would be available to you at the same time. Leadership, which might not be cost-effective solo, then becomes a situational team power-- they buff your endurance, you buff everyones' stats. Nice tradeoff.|

At the very least, Defenders should consider any Leadership they haven't already taken-- they get some of the better bonuses, IIRC, and their inherent means they'll likely be getting more endurance to spend on the larger teams.

And then my 3rd Build can collect dust like my 2nd Build has.

If it's level 50 and I'm not playing it, it's not getting respeced
If I'm actually playing the character, it'll likely take advantage of it, as I always seem to want a few other powers to fill out concepts.
I've taken an attack and left it with one slot, just because I thought the concept needed the power. So no matter what, something will fit in.

Pretty much. Some of us still insist on picking powers that make sense for the character concept even if they're not necessarily numerically superior. That's why it pays to have redundant strength.|

As far as who I won't be respeccing, that only includes characters who didn't have any fitness powers. While I have a grand total of ONE character with Stamina (in six years among 40-50 characters), I have a fair few with Swift and/or Hurdle, and at least a few with Health. Those are getting respecced, and I see no reason not to. I'd sooner take something and not use it almost ever than not take something and not use it ever ever.

I've now gone through all of my characters, and I only found 16 of the 44 will end up eventually getting a respec. However, those won't happen for awhile.

My ar/dev will be getting a makeover, as all the IOs for his UBERBUILD have been sitting in base storage for a few months now....my low-ish level ma/sr will DEFINITELY be respecing...but the rest will just chill for now.
/edit
actually, I may respec the goat so I can sell his three sets of PvP IOs.
So that's three I'll respec.
