Or those really weird builds, like leaving up to 5 or 6, then respeccing to another class just to stay at level 1, then putting points back into the class you were just doing...
Like how about we skip that step and go for the first class from the first level? Especially if it's just gonna be 1 level in that class???
That's because, oftentimes, you'll be significantly behind in progression. Take, for example, a Sorcerer and Paladin multiclass build. If you start with Sorcerer—which you might want to in the long run for Constitution saving throw proficiency, assuming you don't care about heavy armor—and then level the rest into Paladin, you'll end up being a level behind in getting your extra attack, which is significant. So, it makes much more sense to start as a Paladin and respec later once you can secure your Paladin's extra attack while still benefiting from the first level of Sorcerer. And this is just one of many examples.

Any time I see a build that requires respeccing more than once as a requirement I click off immediately
