Skill trees and Alternate Advancement

[Kyra]

Yeah being able to respec a skill tree is fine, as long as it takes a little bit of effort and time, maybe a repeatable quest with a 1 week cooldown, and even then you should only get 2/3 of the exp back to respec a new tree with. The whole point of it will be to make a choice and stick with it, not respecing every time you do a new dungeon or primal, thats the same as just changing to a different job for whatever content you do.

Changing jobs gives you options already. If you want to fight ifrit but your blm is specialised in fire, then fight him with another job. Or fight him with your fire blackmage, because it wont be any worse than it was before and you will still have your thunder nukes the same as now and increased fire resist, its just a thunder specialised blm will do more dmg for that particular fight than you.

Oh no! so your not as good as a thunder blackmage for the ifrit fight, get over it lol, you made that choice and when you do a fight with a boss weak to fire or AoE is needed its the thunder blackmage that will be crying or accepting the choice he made.

Dont use the argument that everyone will choose the best possible build, because there would be no best possible build for everything. thats the whole point. You might be great at somethings, average at other things and suck at other stuff (compared to people that have chosen other specialities).
