Something just occurred to me.
Druids have 4 specs. Healer, Tank and 2 dps. But actually one is a true dps while the other is a hybrid.
Balance druids are the hybrid. I love balance druids.
So with that saying, not everyone wants to be a druid, so…
What Blizzard devs should consider is having each specific class with 4 different specs. Healer, Tank, DPS and Hybrid.
That way, people can play their favorite class and pic the specific spec they like the most.
Would be nice if the devs even half way considered this.

Interesting, while I could see survival as a tank spec, how would a hunter be a healer? Or a demon hunter healer?
Naaaa, class identity makes your choice matter. Each one should have a unique presence that is appealing.
And it’s really not difficult to have two or three max level geared characters.
I do think a couple more specs could easily come about. But, I don’t know about giving everyone a strict guideline to follow. Like, I really want Gladiator spec for Warrior. But, that would just be the 3rd DPS spec for the class. I think it’s kind of fitting for a Warrior to have more DPS options than anything else.
I still like your idea, OP!

Acknowledged but it would be interesting to be able to respec and cut down on having so many alts to keep up with.
A Hybrid of what? Boomies are Ranged DPS and Kitties are Melee DPS. It is all about play style, not the three roles of Tank/Healer/DPS. DPS have several play styles; ranged, melee, pet, dots, etc, etc…
Personally I would like to see a 3rd role for DH’s with a pet they summon, a cross between a warlock and a hunter, if we’re adding specs. DH’s should have a 3rd choice, it is just lazy not to.

Umm. Balance Druid isn’t a hybrid. The only kinda hybrid class in the game is prot paladin rn. Hybrids died in cata. When the great anti fun crusade began by blizavision.

Fortunately hybrids no longer exist.
I like calling it Actizzard, has a nice ring to it and puts the emphasis on the larger corporate body.
There we go, much better. Just because Blizzard implemented hybrids poorly and taxed them unfairly doesn’t mean they were inherently bad.

Ahh ty for the clarification. U r right. one is ranged the other, melee.
I like Blizavision because Activision is like a little gnome walking around in the big defiled corpse of a once great company
“just because hybrids were completely bad for their entire existence doesn’t mean they were inherently bad”
Thanks for that clarification.

nope. balance isnt a hybrid compared to what it used to be. No specs are. they got rid of that a while ago. you go oom in 4 heal casts. lol.
if you want to add a 4th spec to say a warlock, you turn demonology back to how it was in MoP, with the tank stance as well. then you make the 4th spec the pet class that demo is now.
Other MMO’s do/did this.
I could be a Warden and Tank AND Heal my group for raids, was pretty cool.
That said, anything that will complicate this game any further should be avoided, with systems and borrowed power still being a thing in SL, there are too many choices as it is to be fred, or was it frank.
Either way I LOVE the idea, it’s fun when done well, and maybe filling out some of the most asked for classes/extra specs like Shaman tank, Hunter tank etc could be a starting point when the game can handle it.
