Dual Spec for TBC classic - Thoughts?

Interested to see if people would like to see something like this added to TBC.

Dual Spec was implemented in Wrath of the Lich King but personally I would welcome it in TBC - Classic to increase my options and allow me to enjoy PvE content fully in proper PvE spec, and be able to switch to PvP spec to enjoy PvP content, mainly arenas, just as much. This would also prevent burn out when stuck on endphase/endgame content.

If Blizzard did implement a dual spec, I hope they make it an expensive upfront cost to achieve. Like 10k gold.

Inflation has already hurt Classic and respecing is one of a few true gold sinks in the game.

But most people won’t have 10k gold.
But then, the players that will stick around will have that in abundence.

It’s always that double edged sword thingy.

they also don’t need dual spec

Like all the other “they should add this later-on convenience” threads, there’s no good reason for this.

TBC should absolutely have dual spec. “No-changes” is a failed philosophy.

Dual spec was added in Wrath. It’ll be there when a Wrath server is made.

Blizzard wants players to identify with their characters and their specialized roles instead of being able to do it all. that way when a unique opportunity appears, players can be rotated out, that way eeeeeverrrryyyyyoneeee gets his share.

And later changed. The current system in Retail, where you can just respec in town anytime seems to be preferable.

But, also…

Guilds wont be running 4 tanks this time around. Someone HAS to be able to respec to cover for Kara and later on ZA.

We managed without dual specs the first time around. It’ll be fine.

We ran 4+ tanks for TBC. Most guilds won’t be running more than 3 this time around.

Okay, you’re confusing.

Guilds will do what works. Without dual-spec, 'cause they won’t have it.

If that involves running 4 tanks in Karazhan (…really? no guild I was ever in) then that’s what they’ll do. You’re speaking as though they’re somehow, this time around, going to be forcibly prevented from having a viable raid composition unless Blizzard adds dual-spec.

2 groups needs 4 tanks for kara

I don’t see how thats confusing as most 25 man players are going to want to do a single kara run every week for their badges.

Dual spec on endless tbc

Back in the day, it was 1000 gold to buy the ability to dual spec. That represents 20 max cost respecs at 50 gold.

Nah if we are gonna do tb > wotlk there should be no changes and you can have it then or if we are doing any changes we should do all the changes and rebalance all the classes IE lifebloom nerf CC nerfs bad pve spec buffs no glaives in arena etc.

I’ve yet to be convinced why any class needs a dual spec. Outside of warriors wanting to ninja Arms gears for pvp while tanking what exactly is a dual spec needed for?
