Diablo 2 eventually added limited respecs, but not until 2009 when the original developers were long gone and the Diablo 3 devs authored respecs in Diablo 2 partially as a test bed for their planned Diablo 3 respec option.ĭiablo 3 and Reaper of Souls allows for almost complete freedom in respec'ing. Respecs did not exist in Diablo 1 or Diablo 2. Most modern RPGs (including World of Warcraft) have respecs of some kind.
Respec is slang for respecialisation and refers to a game feature that allows players to partially or completely reallocate the points they have spent in various skills, 'talents', 'attributes', 'feats' or other character values.
