Respeccing Ascendancy Classes And More

I wish whoever came up with this redistribution of ascension points to go to the toilet the same way every time

I need to be honest — ascendancy respeccing right now feels tedious and punishing in a way that just kills my motivation to keep playing.

I don’t mind dying. I don’t mind getting one-shotted. I don’t mind starting over and pushing again. But what I do mind is feeling trapped in an unfun class because I don’t have the resources to respec.

Here’s what’s frustrating:

*Making a mistake in picking a class doesn’t feel like a learning moment — it feels like a sentence.

*Respec tokens are rare. It’s a long grind to even find a Djinn and an Inscribed Ultimatum token.

*If you fail, you’re punished even harder — losing both tokens and being stuck with the ascendancy you wanted to leave in the first place.

*Lower-level tokens are nearly impossible to track down, so once you’re deeper in, you’re basically locked in unless you grind endlessly.

Some people say “just buy them off the trade market,” but prices are sky-high. I’d rather settle for a weaker token I can actually use to get back to mapping, instead of farming currency for hours in a class I’m not even having fun with.

The result? You either suffer through a class you don’t enjoy, or feel like you’ve wasted time and need to make a whole new character — because the current one is essentially ruined. That’s not challenge — that’s discouragement.

Possible fixes:

If I’m just respeccing my ascendancy, don’t delete my tokens. Either let me keep them or put them on a 24-hour cooldown so I can try again.

* Add a unique Djinn or Inscribed Ultimatum Respec Token that could be bought in the merchant shop or cash shop.

* Increase the drop rate of respec tokens (the ones that don’t increase ascendancy points) across all maps, not just endgame.

Why this matters:

* It removes the feeling of being trapped in a mistake.

* It stops players from feeling like they’ve wasted hours of grind just to correct one decision.

* It keeps the game punishing where it should be (combat, survival, progression), not where it shouldn’t (fixing a class choice).

I love Path of Exile and I want to stick with PoE2, but right now ascendancy respeccing feels like wasted time and lost resources. I don’t want to feel forced into grinding a class I no longer enjoy, or rerolling from scratch because I misclicked or misunderstood a mechanic.

Let us fix mistakes without feeling punished for even trying.Been stuck on this character for several days trying to get a Respec token to drop of my current ascendancy point lvl
