That cuts both ways, maybe the player saying dual spec is bad isn’t correct.
In a broad discussion about dual specs maybe but if you keep it to the game we’re playing and talking about - TBC - then there are some negatives one could fairly posit about their existence in relation to the expansion we are engaged in.
Which are?
Still waiting for why dual spec would actually be bad in TBC.
I think dual spec would be a very positive change for this game. However, I think you should be briefly penalized for switching specs in a way that does not hit the bank account.
After switching, you should get something like rez sickness for 2 hours to prevent people from switching specs anytime they run into an unfavorable pvp matchup and to encourage people to main a spec. That would keep the classic spirit alive without forcing people to run around in circles for a black lotus every time they want to change specs.
TBCs devs already explained it to you and Im sure you’ve read the quotes as theyve been posted many times. Specialization isnt supposed to be a carefree option in TBC - its inherent to how it plays.
With dual specs, specialization means that much less and so people who opt to play tanking and healing roles exclusively have their roles undermined by the addition of said mechanic.
I could go on and talk about what added convenience does to immersion and the individuals who play classes that can fulfill multiple roles and the pressure put on them when its now so easy and how raids are trivialized and how its not true to the spirit of TBC and what that amounts to and…

No I get it you are firmly #nochanges and just want the pure nostalgia experience.
That doesn’t mean the game was perfect in TBC and had no room for improvement and anyone is wrong to ask for those improvements.
You dont get anything and you rolling out your standard ineffectual troll response is enough evidence for that.
Dual specs are not a realistic option for you - its not happening - just man up and deal with it.
You are conflating his position with a completely different one.
Just because he wants a nostalgia experience doesn’t mean he believes TBC was perfect in everyway and couldn’t use improvements from a desgin standpoint.
/shrug you just seem real afraid dual spec might get added.
You don’t seem to get that it’s possible to simultaneously see dual spec as a good feature that improved the game, while also not wanting it in TBCC.
(precisely the case with me)
Like I said, you dont know anything.
I could care less if dual spec gets added. I dont care about this game like that. I would just stop playing TBC and not even think twice.
Im just still waiting for someone to actually say something about dual specs that doesnt revolve around lazy, entitled and elitist view points.
No I get that, it’s the #nochanges position.
Just own it, stop trying to pretend it’s anything else.
I said it man. Right in this thread fairly recently. I am a no changes guy. Im a no changes guy because I know where the Classic games real problems are - the herd that plays it - the games are fine otherwise. Im not afraid of playing au natural. You get the right people playing this thing and all is well in the world as smooth jazz fills the cosmos.
Even so, Im cool with some changes even though Im a no changes guy because I know most of the people around me in game cant be trusted to not ruthlessly degrade the experience and so like a four year old, you have to take the matches away lest they burn the place down. Some intervention is probably necessary for me to enjoy TBC under such circumstances.

/shrug I think if dual spec got added you wouldn’t really notice it in your day to day at all.
It’s not #nochanges you broken record.
It’s #thischangeisasteptoofar.
It’s impossible for me to be #nochanges when I’ve already supported other changes but we’ve BEEN OVER THIS HUNDREDS OF TIMES.
Doesn’t matter. It’s a benefit that shouldn’t be allowed to any player in TBC. Half because it wasn’t in original TBC, the other half because the consequences of allowing it are completely unpredictable, which is not the right prescription for a recreation of a classic game.
Not everybody is you In fact I would say you’re very unique most people I know when dual speck was implemented including myself by the way I was excited for the freedom to try something new.
And healing and tanking in wath/tbc Is is completely different than doing it in retail so yeah that’s why Is tanks and you are still good instant cues.
The game just got easier for everyone and they’ll take advantage of it and eventually weaponize it like everything else. Ill notice.

You also seem to have issues retaining things already said to you.
It’s irrelevant how you feel about the feature.
Your sole reason against dual spec is that that’s not how it was in TBC back in the day, so #nochanges.
