Q u o t e: Skill tree re-specialization is currently a planned feature for the Diablo II 1.13 patch, yes.
[ed] The patch sticky thread in this forum has been updated with the latest information on the patch development.
Interesting. I have mixed feelings on this as well, but in the end, it's probably the best choice. I personally don't like the idea of respecs from a Role Player perspective, and neither do I like the idea of respecs from a balancing perspective due to the ability to completely ignore weaknesses of the choices you have already made with your character, but if respecs are limited such that it will not be abused, than I will probably be just fine with that.
I also notice that you do not bring up Stats in the re-specs. Why is this the case? Does Blizzard plan on adjusting and changing currently existing skills, and thus the respecs for that and only that? And I'm guessing that items like Enigma, with it's massive +strength bonus, will not be removed if stat respecs are not also going to be included?

This is the worst news I've heard since the patch got delayed.
What were you people thinking when you decided to incorporate this in the patch?
Ok I understand Diablo III will have it, but this isn't Diablo III. The game wasn't designed for this. Characters are no longer unique since given a minute they can be a completely different build. There better be SEVERE penalties for re-allotting skill points. Either that or this is a sick sick joke.

I guess you've never redone a character because of accidentally put a skill point in the wrong place.

i got mixed feelings on this as most do, but lets not go ranting just yet, it may have a crazy formula in the cube to do it, like a SOJ or somethin, so not everyone is doing it. It may require the standard of heros or a quest drop of some kind in hell mode. or it may be as simple as the 20 life potion in act 3. I just hope its not easily done.

Maybe it will be like their Uber D SoJ fix.
Cube 1 enigma + 1 infinity = respec.
In all seriousness though, I am not sure what to expect. If this were several years ago, I'd say that it would be a cube recipe using fairly rare components. However, I am sure they have entirely different people working on the patch, and different people means different ideas or ways of thinking.
