Dual Spec OR Respec Saves Talents/Bars

WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria Classic Discussion

I want Dual Spec because you press 1 button and your other talents, gear, and bars are all swapped; no addons needed, everything is ready to go. Lets say I will respec 100 times over the course of TBC-C, that’s 5000g, so make it 5000g to unlock dual spec; same as epic flying, seems like a fair amount. Add a cooldown and link it to raid lockout (ex: prot when you got saved to Kara, kill up to last boss don’t get him down, feel free to swap specs outside of Kara for farming, but if you go back in that raid id, you are prot and can’t swap). Not sure of the downside, the gold sink is still there and you can’t abuse it for raid shenanigans; make it so you have to be in a rest area to swap too for even less abuse potential.

OR to keep the crybabies (who want to make sure other people aren’t having fun) happy, make the trainer respec save your alternate spec, gear, and bars. That’s the biggest reason I want dual spec anyways. Don’t get me wrong, would prefer true dual spec, even if it costs gold to unlock. Going to old capitals just to click a button seems unnecessary; but to have gear/bars/talents swapped automatically would be great too.

People complain about raid loggers, but why would a tank spec character do anything but that???

One last note: the most common retort to this request is “go back to retail” or “this is how we got to retail”, but those arguments don’t hold up when WotLK had dual spec and was the peak of WoW (by subscriber count). IMO retail’s decline was not due to dual spec.

My thoughts exactly. If respeccing saved everything, It wouldn’t be so bad, but it is so tedious but yet i have to do it if i want to PVP and High end PVE.

Welcome to The Burning Crusades Classic where you get the game EXACTLY as it was when it was created, patched and completed.

If you want retail enhancements, go play retail.

lmao! “exactly” as it was created :rofl: someone wanna tell the cow?

I think something that saves your talents and bars would be a fair compromise.

shhh! let it believe its “exactly” as it was created lol

I am not in favor of dual spec, but I would be completely in favor of such a ‘saved settings’ feature. That would not change the game in any way.

  • 58 Boost
  • Store mount
  • Mage Boosting galore
  • Retail arena ranking
  • Same faction BGs
  • Patch 2.4.3 from the start

Yeah, it’s “exactly” the same right?

Just use an addon that saves bars/ui instead of whining about having entirely new systems added to a classic version of the game.

I can definitely see the appeal of this, and I know you stated “without addons,” but this is also pretty easily done with addons.

Something that I found that I like to do is use comments in my macro, so I can just comment out/in whatever skills are talent-build appropriate when I respec. There are only about 2-3 that I tend to use.

Here are some examples:

#showtooltip
/cast Death Wish
#/cast Last Stand

#showtooltip
/cast Piercing Howl
#/cast Concussion Blow

#showtooltip
/startattack
/cast Sunder Armor
#/cast Devastate

# is used to comment something out (i.e. the interpreter will ignore that line), so I can just just swap the comment when I change specs. Anyway, that works for me, as I also tend to prefer not to use addons without a compelling reason to.
