This has been discussed, but I want to put my two cents in. I have LOVED D4. The hate is too much. There are a lot of builds and diversity in the game already, which will only grow with seasons. Theorycrafting is my shizz. However, I am a busy guy. I only play a few hours a couple of times a week.
I have found myself not playing because I am playing the same spec over and over, having only substantially switched once. This took me over two weeks to do considering I was trying to make my own build and board and needed to afford the respec. Gold and time aside (it is fine), this has stopped me from switching specs and trying new things because of the time investment. It also hampers me to switch if the build is not successful, forcing me to spec back and try another day, costing all my gold, or to just play sub-par which is never fun. If I could load my spec, everything would be fine.
My time is valuable. Clicking two hundred nodes without guarantee of success is not how I want to spend it.
Thus, I am getting burnt out… Classic WoW Hardcore will likely be my choice until loadouts are available…

Considering they want it to be a “Gold Sink” - respec.
Skill loadouts could still have been just that.
The easiest thing would have been to:
- Sell Skill Tabs for X millions.
- Skill loadout swaping cost X millions.
- Skill swaps close all Dungeons and reset this and that(no cheesing on-the-fly).
Benefits:
Players can experiment and theorycraft IN-GAME with Paragon(not 3rd party sites) - decide upon a build and “Lock-it-in”/Save or decide to cancel changes.
Players can have a Skill loadout pre-saved and not have to clunkily reassign Paragon point by point etc.
Players have Fun.
Players experience variety and QOL.
That is a good suggestion, especially the dungeon locking. Sort of like D3 GRs. I just… cannot play Lightning Storm Druid much longer. Druid is awesome, and I will play other classes for different seasons, but I cannot invest the time needed for respeccing. And most of my fun is making the build. Without it, I am losing interest. And Season 2 does not have a hint at it…

Anything that keeps players in the game and off 3rd party sites as a requirement(ie. to Theorycraft or build plan)is a plus for me.
Anything that gives players options but also aligns with the Developer philosophy - ie. They want Skill/Para reset to be a gold sink and many players back in Beta wanted a gold sink…
Ok GREAT!
Now like our Stash and Wardrobe has “Tabs” - give us Skill loadout tabs so that we can target farm Gold and pre-plan and prepare the next build as we’re gaining levels and gear for said build.
A total no brainer…
