Fast strategies? All it is going to allow new Ladder players, is for them to not care about pumping 1000 strength until they get good enough gear 3 years later and then be able to respec everything into Vita. Not to mention, allow them to pump into Holy Bolt without worrying either.
ImO the stat/skill-respec allows faster Ladder-Rush + Levelling later...
Take the Sorc for example... in Norm / in general at the beginning Sorcs have a hard time dealing Damage and not running out of Mana... but at the same time they have a Summon Nec as blocker... also NOBODY wanted to be conviction-bitch for them usually...
Now what you could do:
Push Energy = Mana, +skill Warmth = gg to start, let Summons block for you + pump Nec's LR / Decrep / Amp
Skill Enchant = gg Dmg and fast runs for Summons
Skill one Dmg-Dealer from the lower Levels or whatever...
THEN, respec, go with Frozen Orb (basically a FO Sorc kills Nightmare ALONE) + have another two Sorcs with different Elements play along you while having High-Lvl-Conviction up all the time from a Pally (who WILL do the favor, since he knows he can respec to Hammer once you arrive in Hell Mode etc...)
It does not necessarily make the gamplay easier in specific areas, but it DOES make it easier to put a proper party together and not have "wasted" chars (Curse Nec, Pure Convictionist, Mone-elemental Sorcs, etc.) after the first phase of rush is done...
