    The Ability Tree's reset cooldown is simply unneeded and hinders the average player's experience.

    It's effectively the concept of Soul-Points-to-Reset-Skills, but even worse, given that the Ability Trees have a lot of nuance which is ENTIRELY UNEXPLAINED, and having the reset cooldown means that there's no way to downgrade from Abilities you don't want.

    Potential Arguments in Favor of The Ability Tree Reset Cooldown:
    "The devs can implement arbitrary Soul Point costs once Skills can be reset for free and turn a small profit off of Soul Bombs!"
    - Soul Points shouldn't even exist because they're annoying to veterans and crippling to newbies who die often.
    - The idea of using Soul Bombs to get enough SP to reset the Tree sounds like a horribly thought-out "Pay For Convenience" scheme for turning short-term profits
    - Don't even think about it, Wynncraft.

    "It makes picking Abilities wisely a lot more important!"
    - Newbies will likely struggle because they'll fall into traps by picking bad Abilities which sound great on paper. (Or, y'know, trying to make Fallen Warrior work.)
    - Not every upgrade is worth buying, and having to wait out the timer with an underwhelming build causes unnecessary frustration

    "Impatient, much? Take a break until the timer resets!"
    - Sure, I'm impatient, but timegating players is a bad thing when keeping players ONLINE and PLAYING is a pretty big deal!
    - If new players are forced to wait, they'll be given more time to think about the flaws of Wynncraft and start letting their negative thoughts simmer
    - I'm decently sure that many Hypixel Skyblock players are toxic because their server is all about waiting to do things!

    My Arguments Against the Reset Cooldown:
    - Unnecessarily timegates more experimental players (example: Acadee)
    - It adds nothing to the gameplay (nothing like "killing enemies chips away at the cooldown timer")
    - May cause newbies to run in and die with their current build, because, hey, it might work until they can reset the Tree again!
    - Inconvenient nuances of the Ability Tree are made even more inconvenient and frustrating

    ...My apologies if this suggestion post comes off as overly negative, a little on the short side, or undetailed. I'm very passionate about having the freedom to experiment!

    the 30 minute cooldown is ONLY for beta, it's probably getting replaced in the live version

    it's really stupid though, it should be free and instant IMO

    It’s even worse that it’s in Beta bc the whole point is for people to easily test stuff.
