I've looked at some threads about autotraining and respeccing.

On Uth 1.0, if you had autotrained a skill till lvl 48 (12 in skill), then put skill points in the skill to example 45.
Then if you respecced your skill would bounce back to 12, not 1, and so you would keep the autotraining points in the skill.

But I am hearing conflicting stories on Uth 2.0 that if you respec your skill goes all the way down to 1, thus costing you all the autotraining you did.

I am talking full respecs btw.

Can someone confirm how it works, and if the staff have commented on it if it works different than from Uth 1.0?

Skill is Not Set to 1

When you use the full respec all your points are returned and the extra AT points also.
Then the points are spent in the autotraining lines.

The problem is if you haven't autotrained the lines, the points will still go into the autotraining line, thereby losing points from your base pool of point.

Example:

Paladin leveled to 50 full AT slash and chants until 48.
-> gets 2*77 or 154 points of AT.
-> gets 2979 points of base pool
For a total of 3133 points.

Then respecs and 154 points out of 3133 points go directly into the AT lines:
- 12 in chants
- 12 in slash
Has 2979 points left to spend.

While the other Paladin leveled without AT (specced in slash and chants)
-> gets 2979 points of base pool

Then respecs and 154 points out of 2979 points go directly into the AT lines:
So the one who did not AT will be gimped if he wanted to be trust or crush.
If the non-AT would want to be thrust he would have only 2902 points instead of 2979 points (lose 77 points because the autotraining line is specced)

You must AT all the line you expec to play at one point.
It's especially troublesome for the warrior, who if he does not AT one of the 3 lines, will be gimped in that one line he did not AT.
A true AT warrior is supposed to not spec in any of the 3 weapon lines until level 48.

While that's true, I'd much rather hit 50 and make up the missing 1-2% parry rate by getting a realm level and getting MoP instead. Since we don't need to spec into 2h, there's not a necessity to AT a warrior unless you're getting PLed.
