Skill Tree needs a Draft Mode

Hi,

Currently, every investment in the skill tree is immediate and each time we want to change skill from one to another, we have to spend gold. And what’s more annoying, let’s say we want to change a skill from Core Tier, but when we want to refund such skill the game says “nope”, because we have invested points to skills from higher tiers.

Or this example: I just want to click skills on the fly and see what I’ll come up with. “Maybe 3 points here? Let’s see. Naaah, let’s take this 3 point into something different. Ok maybe I’ll use this skill? Give it 5 points. Oh no, that skill is much better, 5 points for it instead”.

Right now it would require literally constant spending money. I want to play with skill tree before it’s final.

So what I suggest is the Draft Mode. When we want to change something in the skill tree, instead of refunding right of the bat, we enter the mode and can FREELY change skills. Take 5 points from the Whirlwind, and invest in Upheaval, regardless the fact that normally we would lose access to higher tiers in the process. And only at the end, when we click “Save” the game calculates the final price, based on the difference between previous and the new version. And when something is invalid, the Save button would be grayed out.

During the beta many times I wanted to change like 3 out of 6 skills. But it was so tedious that I instead just refunded the whole tree.

and then people can’t figure out why the save button is grey and open new threads about that. bad idea. just use an external app like in every other arpg.

Gold for respec is not an issue as gold has never been any issue in Diablo games before, and doubt it will be in this one.

The only thing i would like to see changed regarding the skill tree is it´s setup, having to click drag back and fort constantly from one branch to the next is not really ideal and a bit frustrating if you are trying to change your skills on the fly. I’d like to see that changed, make it a bit more streamlined and preferably, fit the entire thing on the screen.

yes even I was a little puzzled about the constant drag, re-drag, zoom in/out the skill tree…
