I think that Crossbowmen need a full respec, given the massive changes to their builds. Those of you who do not play that class won't understand why these changes may require a complete rethink of their skill points.
I am level 32, and wasn't planning on a respec any time soon. My build was:
15/27, MW Arbalest, 9Ath 7WM 5PS, (yes, y'all hated it).
Now with the mini respec. I have 15/25 8Ath 7WM 5PS, with 3 attribute points, 1 skill, left over. I would really like to continue using my MW Arbalest, so I would go 18/25 8Ath 7WM 6PS. But wait 25 agi is meaningless, especially at lvl 32. So what I would actually like to do would be 18/24 8Ath 8WM 6PS +1 spare skill.
Listen, I know all you melee focused people just HATE ranged, but put yourself in our shoes. Would you like to lose your 31+ level because of a major patch? Probably not.
It is not as if allowing respecs hurts the game: they have been done many times in the past. And when your class gets fucked? I'll support your getting a free respec that I do not.
Also, with new changes can we please just remove the ridiculous delay from the Arbalest? It literally makes no sense beyond handicapping the weapon. Now you've lowered our Ath, I'd like to think that is a more reasonable game balance of the Run and Gun than having to make it harder for the player. What happens more than delay preventing a run and gun is that it makes it harder for me to deal with oncoming cav if I don't run around with my xbow aimed like this is a modern shooter.
