How to respec in Diablo 4

Diablo 4 is one of the most anticipated games this year and comprises a healthy variety of classes for you to experiment with. Each class features unique skills that can turn the course of the battle in your favor. However, there may be instances where you might not be satisfied with some of the skills you have acquired in Diablo 4. In such cases, you can resort to resetting skill points.

This is a very handy feature that you must use if you wish to experiment with other skills that might improve your character build. Furthermore, it is an easy process and merely involves you opening the skill tree and simply refunding the particular skill you don’t want. You must note that doing so will cost you some gold.

Everything to know about resetting skills in Diablo 4

Diablo 4 continues the series' tradition of offering exciting classes for you to choose from, like Rogue, Sorcerer, Barbarian, Rogue, Druid, and Necromancer. Each of these classes has skills that allow for some interesting builds in the game. However, it is possible that certain skills may hinder your desired outcome, making it necessary to reset that particular skill.

The process to respec is also quite simple, and you can either reset one skill at a time or opt for a full reset. To respec one skill at a time, you can simply hover the cursor over that skill and then hold the square button (on PlayStation consoles) or hold the X key (on the Xbox controller).

The cost of the refund will be displayed before you choose to respec a particular skill. You must note that this cost will increase as you progress through the game and level up your character. It is therefore ideal to respec them in the early stages of the game, but if you have the gold to reset them at higher levels, then feel free to do so.

Alternatively, if you wish to reset all skills then you can simply select the Refund All option in the skill tree menu for a complete refresh. A pop-up window will display the cost associated with the respec, and you can select Confirm if you are fine with the cost.
