is there a way to reset skill points/hero points? for some reason my skill points werent reset on the changes they were just all channeled into the shout and defense line. Thinking about it now, having these spec’d this way will make the PvE slightly less enjoyable because now my points are assigned sub optimally and to get the skills I actually want I will have to wait until lvl 80 when everything evens out.
The system automatically spent hero points for you trying to recreate your build. If you’re level 80 then it spent them on the skill tracks for the skills you currently had active and on the three major trait lines you were using. If you were using more than three trait lines it tried to guess as best it could.
That’s why, before the thing, I funneled all my traits into three lines for every character.
Anyway, if you are level 80, even if you’ve never done a skill challenge (now hero challenge) you have enough points to buy every single core skill and core specialization (trait lines). There is no need to reset. Hero Points only have one purpose and this is that purpose. So just buy up the rest of the skills and traits, if you want them, and don’t worry about it.
that kind of sucks because by putting almost all of my skill points into the defence tree and shout tree they’ve more or less resigned me to using that build for the rest of the PvE until I hit lvl 80 and transfer back out of it. I only have two characters, one lvl 55 and one lvl 27, the lvl 55 mesmer got boring so I thought i’d complete the game with my warrior but now I may just start over because I don’t feel like I have any control over this character anymore. I don’t want to have to play like I’m defensive. I wanted to go hammer and use stances and I don’t want to put in countless hours into getting a character I don’t even like anymore to lvl 80. I’m not the only one, someone I was playing with got all his damage skills rerouted to the healing tree. I don’t have a lot of time on my hands so just getting this dude to lvl 25 and getting 100% completion on 2 maps was a massive timesink for me. I don’t want to have to do that again just because they didn’t think it would be a good idea to give people free choice/give in some kind of reset mechanic on the offhand thought of ‘oh well it won’t matter if they get to lvl 80 anyway’. I don’t know how long it will get me to get to lvl 80. It’s a little bit complacent to do things this way imo.
