Unfortunately, no. You cannot playtest the respec... unless you can somehow do this on a test server. Once the respec is completed, it locked in place until you use a separate respec token.
I recommend Titan Sentinel and Mids.
http://www.cohtitan.com/ and http://www.cohplanner.com
You can extract your current character's build off Titan Sentinel, it makes a datachunk for Mids. You plug that into Mids and it shows your current build which you can mess around with all you want without wasting respecs.
Also, you can post your builds in the various AT forums, and have other players give you suggestions to tweak your build.

Unfortunately Mid's Hero Designer is only updated up to issue 18, so I can't use that effectively. The second question is whether it's possible to easily tell how I build my current hero. I think that build is decent, and would prefer to build off it, instead of starting from scratch. Thanks. |
As far as MIDS goes, its been updated for issue 19 for a while, minus the alpha slot/incarnate stuff, but it has inherent fitness changes in there. Double check that you have the latest version at http://www.cohplanner.com/. Sometimes the auto updater within the program is bugged so you may have to uninstall and reinstall the new one. Be sure to backup your old builds first just in case though.

Thanks for all the help.
If you need help with making a build, post on the AT-specific forums. I generally try to help with Scrapper, Tanker, and Defender builds.
Thanks. I'll have to think what I want to have, and go back to the character concept. Thanks to the great help here I have my character in Mid's Hero Designer, and can plan what to do. If I have questions I will be sure to ask them. I'm very happy with the help I got so far.
The unfortunate side effect of using Mid's is that I found out about Ninja Run. But I'll resist buying it.

Don't... it's fantastic. I rarely feel like I *must* grab travel powers now. Sometimes I do late build, or for concept... but I don't feel like I have to. I like that.
