Dual Spec.. please?

You could do that and we can respond.

It just simply isn’t very controversial. People don’t seem to want to engage in reasonable discussion, so there are tons of replies to controversial topics like, ‘Please add Retail Feature X to Classic,’ and not so many on topics like:

@Frosto-faerlina

dual spec rewards some classes while punishing some others. Classes whose raid roles are fulfilled with a single spec are not required to maintain multiple builds and gear sets, and additional PVE builds…

@Frosto-faerlina

Dual spec, imo, is game changing, and doesn’t actually solve the problem of wanting to have different specs for different content for everybody. It might solve that problem for some subsets of people playing some classes in certain ways, but…

It merely displaces the issue that there is a deterrent to respecc’ing, by way of the price being too high for many people to take advantage of it. Now, if you had a case to make for why people shouldn’t respec often or at all, then this might be a different story, but I don’t think it’s the intended design, and I don’t think the current system works as intended at all.

Dual spec merely displaces that for some people. It doesn’t prevent the need to respec for different content though.

For example someone claimed it would “create a new problem of clueless DPS masquerading as tanks just to get into groups faster.” I’ll admit that’s true. Likely many of those dual speccing to tank will be inexperienced and unskilled at tanking.

Personally, I am not opposed to having more people doing content who are still learning content. While I don’t always feel like doing particular content with people who are completely new, I sometimes do.

All I can say is I think most of the people who can’t find a tank at all, good or bad, and aren’t able to do a dungeon run would rather struggle along with an inexperienced tank and do the dungeon.

Sure. But, I don’t agree that dual-spec is a reasonable “solution” to not being able to find a tank.

At least not any more reasonable than rolling a tank.
