Professions are a travesty

The professions are so flawed it´s almost unbelievable.

Having progression tied to a trickle of knowledge points over time, with no way of resetting the unavoidable mistakes you´ll make in progressing your specializations, is an almost criminal oversight.

Just make respec available for a cost so decision fatigue doesn´t paralyze us anymore.

no the knowledge points are good as they are , reset would ruin professions.

you just need to plan where you want to be going.

Yeah, how should one go about that? Read guides and watch videos for hours upon hours? Analyze the economy on your server for even more hours? You´ll still end up making mistakes. It´s totally unreasonable.

Except int eh case of Alchemy, you are now almost forced to spec into Phial Mastery (10) > Phial Lore (10) > Phial Experimentation (5) to have any kind of hope of not experiencing days and days of *Boom and being stuck.

Prior to a fix or change people had no such issues and could zerg it without any bother so I have heard.

if you want to min max , yes.

if you’re not into gold making you can just decide on a direction to go on your feelings. as a blacksmith you want weapon? right then take weapon.

knowledge points are good , yes you can make mistakes but if you do you either choose to sacrifice some points or invest even more in your mistake so that you try to profit from your mistake. Coming from your take you are not really into professions so you won’t be competitive anyway it’s useless to cry about it.

allowing a reset of knowledge would destroy the whole market , right now i can craft 418 weapons if the people have the components , allowing a reset would allow me to craft any blacksmithing gear up to 418, i would be on every market where now i’m only on the weapon market.

Its a video game an the video game does not present you guiddelines.

You should never in a video ggame resort to guides. Especially third party guides.

I never use guides for games because guides shorten games lifespan for me.

p.s… It wont even ruin the market if you allow one respec per month

You shouldn´t have to live with almost in essence unavoidable mistakes hampering you for months and months or longer. The information needed to make good choices in the specialization trees are not available in any reasonable way.

This is not acceptable.

i’m pretty sure you can do the same with potions and potions and vials are the 2 great options of alchemy so you will have to spend those points at some point you just need to take them first if you want your skill up to 100, personnaly i don’t have them and i’m 85/100 with alchemy

it is , you just have to spend time reading the talent tree and deciding on where you want to go , if you did not do it, that’s your problem.

The professions system is amazing, I’m loving how they allow me to have my own special area of expertise and I’m loving how they take a while to max out so it means I have something to really get stuck into. The people complaining about it need to ligthen up - keep whining and they will switch it back to the tired old system that we have had for 17 years although it seems like that is what you people weirdly want.

I really like the spec tree

Though im not a fan of locking recipes in it, however im not gonna pretend theres no fixes, you can always make an alt or smth

LOL, you are delusional. How should people know where they need/want to go? And what if they change their mind? Well just wait a few months…

This is not what we want, and if you bothered to read anyone’s post, you’re now a simple troll that tries to trigger people.

yeah not to mention it is barely hampering him at all and every point he spent elsewhere is getting him stuff he wouldn’t otherwise have

then new professions are simply not for you.

a reset a month won’t crash the market but it will make it overly competitive as new optimal routes will be found and used by the people who min max professions.

Competion is GOOD for an MMO like this and this game needs more sinks of currencys.

No you want to be able to switch your talents on a whim which defeats the entire allure and appeal of it being a meaningful choice thus making it utterly boring again.

I’m sure you can live with not being able to gather whilst mounted, it isn’t that big a deal and you’ve gained some other flashy skill few others have in return, relish it.

because you spent your time reading the talent tree?
and if they change their mind that’s their problem.

profession aren’t for casuals anymore that’s all there is to it.

Go play classic dude. You love those talent tree changes where gold actually was worth something. Right?

The system is so flawed it needs to be looked at asap. The only ones benefitting from this mess are the sweaty min/max gold goblins who spend all their time making gold. The average player gets totally boned by this system.
