If it happens it happens. I don’t think dual spec is particularly good, nor do I think it belongs in pre-Wrath. I also don’t think that pulling Retail changes into Classic is the best way forward.
Sure, there are some things that are quite fun about some of the skills we have now through runes. I haven’t tried all the classes, but Warbringer on warriors is fun… for now. It is apparent though that we are much stronger than regular characters, and that trivializes a lot of things. We’ll see how it goes going forward.
Anyway, rather than dual spec, I thought reducing respec fees would be a good way to go, and indeed that seems to already be what they have done, but some people still can’t be bothered.
It worries me that catering to this type of request (again) is something that would be considered, but if it’s what the devs decide, then it’s what the devs decide. They gave Wrath RDF and Account-Wide mounts/achievements, and people who asked for that I suppose are the same who are asking for dual spec in SoD.
They have added mounts that are available only in Ashenvale and a helm that reduces the chance to be critically hit only in WSG. They could add a talent spec that activates only in these places as well. Or, what I think might make sense as well is a PVE Instance Spec, and Open World spec, and a instanced PVP/Ashenvale spec that automatically activate within those places.
This would at least not change the meta, requiring certain classes to maintain both of their dual specs for trivializing raid content even further than it already is, and would also be a better solution than dual spec, particularly for the Classic landscape, though… going to a trainer and swapping specs when you want to swap specs is the ideal, imo.
