Make a vote about stat weight respec

Greetings!

Concerning the recent announcements for a stat weight respec stone through gambling (yes, I know that it has since been changed to a gender respec).

Actually I think the idea of getting to choose what stat you want your character to gain as you level is great and even have a chance to respec it later.

I would like to see a vote for the server to see if people also want this or if it is just certain players who would value these things.

In my opinion there should be a choice when you start your character and one free respec as you ding 50 (all existing characters gain a free respec)

Should only be applicable to "broken" classes, I.e. the ones that have rising stats that are useless. Friar, bard, wizard etc.

And tbh it would be better if the devs just redistributed those rather than player choice. Makes too many classes OP. Sorc cast speed is it's only advantage vs the instants healers and bard have. If they both get to have max Dex too it will hugely imbalance the 8v8 fights

People scare me

I see your point but it kinda helps that sorc has bolt range mezz, higher radius and can quickcast.

I would not mind having people chose the stats they feel best for them. 50 stats is not game-breaking by any means but it can for sure make a difference.

If you ever tried building groups on hib you would know how usually bards are not in great supply and I don't blame them. Before getting dex5 and moa 5 the mezz is horrible to cast vs good opponents.

i heavily disagree on this. 48dex points cost 34RA-points / 41dex points cost 27RA-points
And it's not "just" giving those RA for free...it is giving an equivalent statboost while leaving the RA open to grab on top.

Even if all main-mezzers got the same castspeed buff it would shift the balance between the realms and in the case of the priority-respecc it would benefit different supporters/mezzers differently.

Having "dead" stats on classes is basically a cosmetic non-issue because all balancing has taken the current status quo stats as baseline. Balance ofcourse isn't perfect, but i heavily doubt that buffing healers (in comparison to other...i realise this would be a buff for almost everyone) would improve the current class- and realmbalance
