D4 as I know it was built as the spiritual successor to D2 because of all the drama with d3 and immortal. To me, it just makes sense why the system is the way it is. Because I enjoyed d2 I honestly don’t have a problem with it but I’m confident the limited respec options were a choice instead of an oversight. That said, I’m open to them adding more features and wouldn’t be an angry gamer bro if they made things a little easier.

I think it did/does make picking skills more meaningful because you can't just pick any skill unless you want to respec. I didn't like how Diablo 3 did it for that reason.

I think it's nice that they made it easy enough to respec without having to start a new character just to try a different build.

However, I do wish they would add a confirm button before a skill point is actually used up when selecting a skill because that'd make it easier to plan out builds (though there are plenty of websites with build tools/calculators out there).
