Buddy rushed me to act 5, then proceeded to respec to 20 points into Amp Damage for quicker runs (altho probably not even needed) The remaining 3 points into bone shield.
Put all my stats into Vitality for the power leveling.
Buddy does about 5 runs then has to log.
I go back to act 1 to respec.
Unable to respec, awesome. Thanks for the warning blizzard. I have a lvl 22 useless toon now, YAY.|||The way the respec system was implemented was clearly defined in the patch notes. You get 1 respec per difficulty after completing the Den of Evil quest. Once Akara's respec is used it cannot be used again in that difficulty. If you need more than 3 you have to collect the new essence items that are dropped by the act bosses in Hell difficulty. When put in the horadric cube they become a token of absolution that offers a free respec. So yes, technically there are infinite respecs available.
Make sure you read up on this stuff before you start assuming things. Blizzard does not have a fix for carelessness.
EDIT:
I actually have to correct myself. The patch notes did not specifically explain the essences and how they are used, they only gave a clue that you had to defeat the bosses in Hell to obtain a new mysterious item. Still though, the mystery of the essences was figured out very quick and since then has spread throughout the community.|||So after not playing a game for easily 5+ years I'm supposed to read community news in order to understand a patch? Flawed logic is flawed.
Not to even mention the search I did conduct once I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't let me respec. It took easily 30 min on Google searching every outdated forum possible.
It all honesty tho I am glad this happened, because necro was a pretty awful class and all available information to me, is a pretty worthless class in the game. Time to level my Sorc or barb, havent decided yet. =)|||

No you are supposed to read the patch notes. If you did not hit the button labeled "Read Patch Notes" after the update check the patch.txt file in your D2/LoD install folder. Under the "Specific changes/improvements
- Respecialization is now possible! Completing the 'Den of Evil' quest
will now additionally reward 1 free respec which can be saved. Players
who have already completed this quest should receive 1 free respec in
Hell difficulty.

If you have to google for 30 minutes to find out how respecs worked, it's no wonder a necro seems awful to you after all available information was used.
The nec may not be THE fastest, but it sure as hell isn't weak. Corpse explosion even got a buff ffs. Dealing 60-100% +1.13buff of monster life in a radius the size of the screen+amplify damage. 50ish summons, with about level 40 bonespear+spirit+bon
Kramuti's right. They don't have great mobility, but there isn't a class I know better to lend fire support, if not tank for any other character than a Summon Necromancer with 1 point in all his curses. And if there's no one he can tank for, he can solo with ease.
But really, if it's not your style, I can understand. Hammerdins, Sorcs and WW Barbs are characters I don't play. Some classes just don't have appeal.
