Anyone else with a paladin...

[Jobu]

I agree. I often make mistakes when respeccing, mostly because I get the icons in Assassination confused. Silly me.

I learned the hard way by having to respec. Twice. In a row. Don't mix respecs and alcohol kiddies. Bad things happen.

[Ironwood]

While we're moaning, I think that the talent respec costs too damn much and gets too much too quickly and takes forever to go down, if at all.

My lvl 50 lock who I've only respecced once went to do it last night to get the felbuddy, only to find it was 10 gold already.  That I don't understand...

[Shavnir]

There's a bug that's not widely known and mostly ignored.

When they refund everyone's talent points it counts as a respec as far as future respec costs :(

On the bright side gold scales such in TBC that it'll be easy to raise 50g.

Yeah. I'm looking forward to the inflation. Fucking respecs. It would cost me in the realm of 300+ gold to try out the builds I have in mind to test. I cannot afford that and it pisses me off.

I'm anal enough to have the prepared tree in front of me on whatever website and either tab out or look over on another screen to put the points exactly.

[Dren]

While it is not the most obvious solutiuon (blizzard should PROVIDE THE OPTION as part of the Talent UI), there are a few UI mods floating around that cover the range from basic "do you really want to put a talent point there" confirmation boxes, to a full out talent calculator overlay / planning sheet placed ontop of the normal Talent Interface.

I want the overlay idea.  That's what I meant.

Yeah, as Bhodi points out, you can do it like he does.  Laziness gets me everytime though. 

I do have to look at the full spread of talents before I recognize where I've gone wrong, thus the issue.  Just confirming each choice would still get me everytime.

Thats what the PTR is for. Transfer your character over. Fuck with specs until you run out of gold.  Then repeat if you still need to.

Me too.

But it still fucks me over when I play with the new spec for five minutes and find out it sucks balls.

See :  Felguard.

[Jayce]

All these damn respecs are going to break me because you don't get the gold you spent on rank 2, 3, 4 and 5 of mind flay, et al, back.

To me, that is a bug on the same order as the fact that you get bumped to the next respec cost tier by them.

I can live through stunlocks with a felguard out.  I can't without soul link.  I think its got its ups.

Then again the last time I went one on one with a rogue right as he died I ate a PoM AP Pyro

dont have the hd space for the ptr. or the effort. also, harder to test specs when i dont do my usual raids and pvp.

[Paelos]

Respecs wouldn't be so bad if they would actually put in a "confirm" button on your total respec before your talents took effect. I know many people have simply put in the wrong ones before.

I think my top rank of Mind Flay or Vamp Touch was like... 20s? I agree it'd be nice to keep a record of your highest trained talent ability, but they're already pretty steeply discounted. Also, not having to get the book for Prayer of Spirit at all is very convenient.
