Please just fix the cost at like 1g or 5g or something. Please don’t punish the player for wanting to try different things.
I really don’t wanna pay 20g for a respec

i agree - but for Beta Only, not for Live.

What I’d just like is for us to remove points for a smaller amount instead of having to buy a full respec just to move a single point from one thing to another.
Also, we’ll be getting the secondary spec, eventually.
Increasing gold costs every time you wanna respec in a game where they want you to explore new ways of playing the classic specs just feels a bit odd. Basically dissuading players from switching playstyles
also incentivizes meta gameplay which I believe they said they wanted to move away from.

Another thing I hope they find a balance between full classic and retail. I don’t want super fast easy switching, but i don’t want crazy high costs either.
Maybe the balance could be for it to go up but then come down. So number of times a week sort of thing? Also definitely should be locked to town or something similar.
I would love to see some sort of like room of testing, or something though. A place you could go and just really screw with it over and over again then lock something in for free.

On this note they need to really add a PVP spec, as a warrior tank my secondary is usually used for DPS, so we either spend all our gold respecing, PVP with a crap spec or don’t get to PVP at all 
they want you to specialize in something, and when that something is not needed, they want you to bring someone else.
i’m not sure why you think they want you to explore new ways of playing the classic specs, that’s not true at all. Did anyone ever say that?
It should be free honestly. And they wonder why people buy gold at 50g a respec

I know, right? pretty good.
Agree. We should have flexibility when making builds and testing on the beta.
they could keep the respec cost, but also give us the option to buy a third spec slot for a decently heavy cost. I want to potentially run Shaman tanking for dungeons, but likely wont be viable for raids so having the extra slot would make things dramatically better

The problem is you need gold sinks in a game or the economy rapidly inflates.
With dual spec, I don’t mind this gold sink in live. I do in the beta. Fix this.
switching specs should not be a gold sink.
This is one way to create a tank shortage, if my choice is to tank or DPS and PVP… Ill pick DPS and PVP everytime.. Blizzard really needs to add a PVP spec or this is what will happen!
Seems reasonable. We are meant to test things after all.
For live, it’s a cost meant to give weight to your decision to change or not. This isn’t retail. Based on the talent UI though, we are clearly getting dual spec. I don’t love this personally but I suppose it was inevitable.
In a talent tree with less fluff and more focused talents, plus dual spec, if folks are blowing up their respec costs that’s kind of on them.
Why dual? I’m a paladin. I want to either be able to do all my specs for free or only one. Why two? what’s special about the number “2” ?
because you know which of the three gets cut? tanking. there’s part of your tank shortage.
I just can’t get behind this mentality at all, asking for convenience on utility is not asking for retail. Btw this isn’t classic either, there’s a version for that for the people who want that gameplay, this is an opportunity for change.
should be free for beta
