Dual Spec Middle Ground

Any indication that Blizzard of today is exploring the notion of adding dual spec, specifically, to TBCC, specifically.

Why were they bad? Do you understand why people wanted it? Are they wrong?

I understand why people wanted things changed.

I understand why people want dual spec. It has nothing to do with being right or wrong. It has to do with what “is” or “isn’t”.

Dual isn’t in TBC, so it follows that…it should continue not to be.

Because I asked you your opinion. Was giving alliance Paladins Seal of Blood a bad change?

Why did they want it? Why did Blizzard give it to them?

I don’t really find the drums changes or paladin seal change to be bad.

If asked whether I would have added them, I’d still say no.

I am not finding it. I know I read it and it was a brief one line kind of blurb. That said, since I can’t track it down I guess I will have to say I can’t prove it. #sigh.

Well you’d be the first I’d ever heard of Blizzard saying anything like that, and I’m pretty sure that’d be a oft-touted argument in these threads if it actually ever had been said.

Might be more reasonable to consider that this was imagined. :frowning:

Honestly I kinda wonder if the 2009 blue discussion on it was quoted somewhere and I misunderstood the source. Because yeah I was surprised I couldn’t find it.

Why wouldn’t you have added them? Why did people want them added? Why did Blizzard add them?

It’s already coded in wrath and I’m sure if they did it right it’s pretty encapsulated and they can easily back port it to tbc.

50X50 is 2500g out of the economy. That’s a meaningful gold sink.

Gold sinks prevent inflation or at least slow it down. Considering we generate far more gold now than in actual tbc, gold sinks are even more important now.

50g is a lot in tbc??? What?

What add on saves your bars with all its binds for a spec? I don’t know of any. Bartender had profiles but it doesn’t actually save abilities that are on the actual bars per profile.

People probably want any changes because it makes their life or experience easier/better.

A shortsighted sentiment given the whole point is for this to be near-identical experience to what we played back then.

It’s not everyone though. There are plenty of people who feel just the way I do: that the classic game, reborn in modern times as a museum piece, is meant to be played as it is/was, not changed to suit the player.

I think it is called adb. Basically it is a bar saver. What you do is set up a macro in gse to apply the spec and then apply the bar changes.

I use it. Away from my desk at the moment but will get you the add on name in a bit.

People would find something else to “have a problem with” and the forums would be filled that that garbage until Activision enabled them again.

I’m glad Blizzard disagrees.

“This is a modern community, very different from the community that played the game back in 2007, and making sure that we’re servicing their needs. So it’s a little different than our mantra of Classic of just #NoChanges. Like, it was very much just pure authenticity, warts and all, we’re gonna do it the way it was. This one’s gonna be more like, well what do people want from this game”.

Do you think PvP in TBCC has been going well?

We get that no matter how many times the devs have told you and showed you by making changes that it’s not the point you still don’t get it.

The addon I was using is called Action Bar Saver. I haven’t used it in forever though and reading through curseforge it seems likely that this addon is broken for classes that downrank.

That said, I believe this to be a reliable alternative: `https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/myslot/files
