Kara is long with a lot of trash in a raid no one cares about. Whatever you change will affect every raid throughout TBC. In Sunwell your raid comp will matter a lot, plus you’ll be able to summon directly inside an instance.
You can put a mage port up and have warlocks summoning directly back, would only take a few seconds.
I wouldn’t mind bouncing between a healing & dps/tank spec on my various characters, as needed. Also gives more incentive to run content longer to build multiple gear sets.
Somehow you always act like they can free respec to what ever they want.
THEY HAVE ONLY 2 SPECS. 2 fix specs they can switch between, not permanent free respec to w/e.
And lets be honest here: Beside that the p1 was cleared within 24 hours after release (yes, level 70 + all 3 raids cleared!!!), it would be a good thing for the absolute majority! That some very few hybrid players may can’t play their suboptimal spec anymore, because their raid members want the to play a solid spec, is a price that’s acceptable I guess.
The content is obviously easy enough it seems to clear it with trash gear, so suboptimal hybrid specs shouldn’t be a problem.
No. Raid progress is addressed to ensure the person making the argument has actually done the raid he/she is supposedly so knowledgeable about.
It’d be no different than having a doctor treat you who has had experience treating other people versus the doctor who just read about it in a book.
Then stop bringing it up on every occasion where it suits your personal opinion only to drop it when it doesn’t. You were already called out on this numerous times by Delimicus and you’re doing to me the same thing you did to him.
You have repeatedly framed this “discussion” as a personal attack on you every time someone disagrees with you. Whatever you think you’re arguing at this point is moot. Nobody wants to continue having a serious discussion with you if you’re going to demonize them just because they’re showing you how misinformed or inconsistent you are.
You could add a cool down so if someone ported out to a major city to respec and got summoned back they were stuck in the spec for the rest of the rail.
If the hard core guilds are already doing that I don’t see how adding dual spec is a problem. But dual spec could be set on a cool down and only in a major city. Once you respec for one boss you couldn’t spec back for the next one.
Think of Naxx where some fights have almost nothing to heal, while other fights are healer fights(like Sapphiron). It was common to swap out dps for healers on those fights, especially during progression.
There is an interview with Nihilum from TBC where they talked a lot about raid-stacking. He said that Holy Paladins are basically trash in Sunwell because they have no AoE heals. So in certain bosses they would literally leave paladins outside the raid who would just throw blessings on the entire raid when then went in to fight the boss.
I main a druid and I’m a huge advocate of making it easier/cheaper to respec. I just don’t want it to affect the meta. Basically, I want to change the game without it feeling like the game has changed.
And? I don’t see where the hybrid spec is coming in - especially during progression…!
And? How would dual spec change that? Especially as a disadvantage of the holy paladins…
The game has already changed a lot compared to 2007. Again: Level 70 and all 3 raids down within 24 hours after release. The meta doesn’t matter anyways. Especially for some random raid guilds, because every progression based raid guild has cleared all raids several times - all without dual spec!
It won’t. I mentioned it to show how important the tbc group/spec meta is, and why dual-spec would lead to changing specs becoming required. Both for progression and for parsing.
My overarching point is that adding dual-spec will have a much bigger impact on the game than just allowing me to tank 5-mans in my downtime.
I’m fine if they gave everyone one free respec every day, then additional respecs cost 50g. Or put in a daily quest which gives you a unique token for a free respec.
well it means fewer people get to participate in raid content, for one thing. a raid guild isn’t going to recruit as many people if every druid can be both a tank and healer, every warrior a tank and dps, every priest a healer and dps, etc.
bump - please blizzard there is overwhelming demand for this from the community. this is the same as boon, there is a game mechanic which either incentivizes not playing the game or makes accessing more content each week an unnecessary burden, or causing players to play less than they otherwise would
The incentive is to PLAY the game to have the gold to play the aspects of the game you want to play.
Respec cost of 50g was a bit steep in classic. But not in tbc. In tbc you can make 200g+ an hour if you are smart about it and thats as any class. Some classes can make 400+ an hour easily.
