  1. Blizzcon 2008

Some players doesn’t want Diablo 3 respecing. Some players do. Well Blizzard will give us something in between, just like what they always do. But it is still a mystery on how Blizzard will implement a “in between”-level of Diablo 3 stat reset or skill point reset.


According to Bashiok, a Blizzard forum representative :

There will almost definitely be some sort of system to respec; however, it isn’t likely to be as liberal as World of Warcraft. We don’t want to lock a player into a system that punishes them for mistakes, experimenting, or lack of knowledge early on in the game. We also don’t think a system that allows immediate, complete, and at-a-whim changes to a character spec matches the feel of Diablo. It’s likely to be somewhere in between.

That said we still feel like the desire to play the same class again that you may have played before is still a part of the game, and with some ability to respec could potentially require other incentives.
