Why won't people respec their fitness powers?
You don't need to write it down, you can just alt-tab between CoX and Mids', even if you're in Full Screen mode (some people apparently have problems when trying to alt tab... but that's not the game's fault, but most likely crappy drivers + slightly non standard video card... but even then, windowed mode will still work).

No that's just as delusional as saying that a character without inherent fitness is sub-par. Neither is true.

Anyone saying a char is sub-par without inherent is wrong. They can be just as good as those with.

Let's be honest, your toons don't measure up to anyones standards.
Just teasing. Your toons are fine just the way they are. |
NO U!!!!!!!
actually, they don't measure up...... they all have jump kick and team flight now
Oh yeah, that was the time that girl got her whatchamacallit stuck in that guys dooblickitz and then what his name did that thing with the lizards and it cleared right up.
screw your joke, i want "FREEM"
I guess I'm a liar then.
I'm not going to claim I could do that on ALL my characters. But on my favorite, most-used characters, I have spent so many hours tweaking their build that on my main, I did do the Issue 19 respec without Mids' or any other external source. |
Let's go with "if you claim you can remake your entire level 50 build from memory in a respec, you're either a liar or a really obsessive min/maxer".
You don't need to write it down, you can just alt-tab between CoX and Mids', even if you're in Full Screen mode (some people apparently have problems when trying to alt tab... but that's not the game's fault, but most likely crappy drivers + slightly non standard video card... but even then, windowed mode will still work).
Not that that comes anywhere close to removing all the tedium, but you hardly need to whip out a piece of paper or anything! Your other points also still stand. |
(Actually a piece of paper might be easier if you have a single-monitor setup, 'cause you can look at your notes and your build side-by-side. That's what I did for speccing my Empath into inherent Stamina.)

I also have trouble understanding people not respeccing to inherent Fitness and min-maxing their builds. This is because I *really* like to plan builds in Mids (I do this at work instead of working... ), respec and try to optimize my builds. I love the inherent Fitness because it allows me to take a whole bunch of powers earlier than before which makes my characters better at low level content. I have found loads of powers that are great with just one or a few slots.
All my builds are not optimized but that's because I tend to take some powers to fit a concept. All my builds are respecced to inherent fitness. I only have about 25 toons tho and only 5 lvl 50s.
I have absolutely no problem with people that aren't doing this. They're just very different from myself.

You mentioned concepts so I ask you to consider this. Maybe inherent fitness doesn't fit into the concepts those players have for their characters.
Maybe they only wanted 1, 2, or 3 of the fitness powers.
Maybe they're happy with the current build and they look at the 4 fitness powers that were added as the extra one slotted powers that will round out their build and give them an extra oomph.
This falls under the category of "Mind your own business and don't worry about my build." If I've done something crazy like take only the first power from my secondary, or take 4 travel powers, then MAYBE it's reasonable for you to comment. If my build works and you're just going to quibble about specific power choices, then take a hike.

Since it happened I've respec'd a few of my characters to take advantage of it. But frankly if it had never happened I would not be sitting here now wishing for anything even remotely like it.

Here's what the cool kids do. We don't look at other players builds. We can beat anything with anyone or by ourselves. How other people play the game is no concern of ours.
I've never failed at anything and I've tried so hard. That's the real problem.
I respec'd my dark/arrow defender on Sunday. I hope that makes people happy. ^_^ One more toon upadated!

Like someone has already said... I want to play. I don't want to waste all of my time respeccing toons much less planning the perfect build for each and every one of them.

My Characters
21 level 50s. I've respecc'd many, but not all of them. Sorry it doesn't fit into your optimal timeframe, OP. And yes I will run an Apex with them if I want to and the team will do just fine. Why? because I'm sorry OP, the game ain't that hard and neither is the new content. Oh, yeah, and I like to think of myself as a pretty good player...that always helps. Those three powers without extra slotting doesn't amount to a whole lot on many builds. My namesake, for example, has your precious leadership and medicine already and deciding on what three powers I'm going to add and what other powers will suffer slotting can be daunting, esecially on a character that plays perfectly fine as-is.
So unless you have a criticism of the way someone is performing and not just how they look on paper, maybe stop with micromanaging other people's make-believe playtime happy hour.

Too many alts to create MIDS builds for. I'll do it later and, for now, focus on my main.

I have 270 toons acrosss two accounts. 28 lvl 50's, and a least 30 more in the 30's - 40's. You think I want to respec ALL of those; especially the higher lvl ones? Who in the heck has that sort of time and patience and inf? I know I don't.

More for their own protection, as I don't want them getting blindsided when I start arguing with someone.
(Though, 2 1/2 levels from finally getting that (*#&$(# Ill/Sonic done - then shelved - and 2 for a Nec/Poi...)
Personally, I just can't bring myself to play a character without Inherent Fitness, but if someone else hasn't gotten around to respeccing, that's fine by me.

Come on... if you're running Apex or something and can't figure out how to use 3 entire power choices to make your character better, I'm a little disappointed. You're willing to grind away for incarnate shards, but not .. I don't know, pick up medicine pool, or fighting pool, or recall friend, or leadership. All these things would help the team, and some of them wouldn't even require spending more enh slots
