Respec and Test Skills Early

The best time to respec skills is in the early game, or around Level 25 and lower, as the Gold costs for refunding them are not yet too expensive. We recommend testing and trying out all of your class's abilities around these levels to find the playstyle and build you prefer the most.

Respec Sparingly in the Mid-to-Late Game

Once you reach Level 45 onwards and start delving into Nightmare difficulty, the cost for respeccing skills starts becoming expensive enough to make significant dents in your Gold reserves.

If you're unsatisfied with your current build and want to try something else when progressing to the endgame, the midgame is the best time to make one or two full respecs. Otherwise, we still suggest respeccing sparingly and only reallocating skill points to transition your current build toward the endgame instead of trying other playstyles.

Avoid Respeccing Endgame Builds

Beginning around Level 70, reallocating skill points becomes a heavy investment, as you start requiring tens of thousands of Gold to respec a single skill point. If you plan to refund all skill nodes, the cost can reach above a million Gold.

As much as possible, we highly recommend avoiding respeccing at this stage of the game, only doing so to make minor adjustments to your endgame build.

That said, while it is cost prohibitive, it is never impossible to respec, so if you feel that it's time to try out a completely new build for fighting Uber Lilith or simply improving your leveling speed, it's always possible to bite the bullet and reset your entire build.

Either that, or obtain and consume a Scroll of Amnesia.

Scroll of Amnesia

Diablo 4's Season 1 update will introduce a new consumable scroll known as a Scroll of Amnesia.

These items respec a character's Skills and Paragon Boards, omitting the expedient gold costs normally associated with resetting endgame characters.

These scrolls are obtainable via progressing through Diablo's Seasonal Journey with a Seasonal Character and can eventually be transferred from the Seasonal Realm to the Eternal Realm.
