Put it in. PvP and PvE have vastly different builds and I DO NOT want to be limited to content and blow a ton of money on respeccing.
Classic sucks with it, my friends wouldn’t even PvP with me while they were in their PvE builds and vice versa. we had a good bit of people who wouldn’t come to raid because they were on the HWL grind and didn’t want to keep paying for the respecc 4 times a week.
Swapping all specs in retail sucks, but Dual spec is perfect.
Ha! Umm… no.
Make it 1000g and tweak it so you can only change specs when you are in a rested area.
Bam.
Does it ruin your “immersion”? lol
id even be fine with it if it was a like 1500g unlock and then magically chucking 5g into the nether per swap.
but I dont want to be throwing away 50g per swap.
and yes, rested areas only obviously. But It would be so much better for everyone. there is literally no downside.
You make 50g in like 10 mins in TBC. Dual spec doesn’t matter and shouldn’t be in until WOTLK
Paladins are getting both seals in Burning Crusade.
If it doesn’t matter than there is not reason to include it in Wrath, either. Yet it was in then, and I know that a lot of people were asking for something like it before TBC was announced.
Some things were left out because they hadn’t developed the engine to handle it so had to take time to develop it without destroying the software at the same time. Layering is a perfect example of this. Spell Batching is something put in to counter the lack of efficacy of systems at the time, but they’re taking that out.
Its a RPG. Make the decision. Your decisions should have consequences. If you DECIDE to raid this week then you should have to pay to then change your spec to pvp. Dual Spec is another reason I quit retail.
Nerf the re-spec cost instead.
Over-charging for respecs was a bad system from day 1, just like World Buffs, etc.
Admit it.
Well, it’s not like we’re playing Diablo or Diablo 2 here.
I don’t play diablo. I have no idea what that means. This is an RPG. We make decisions and they should matter and have consequences. In retail they took the decision making away.
Even if it’s rested areas only this is how it would happen.
“OK we want you to swap to this spec for this boss. Hearth back to Shattrath, swap specs and we’ll summon you back”
I really don’t want dual-spec period
Oh come on, dude, not this thread again.
SImply put : Add it as a pvp spec, once you entered an arena / battleground , it automaticly swap making it unable to use outside of those instances.
I want specs to be meaningful. A better thing that could be suggested is someway of having PvP specific specs when entering BGs and Arenas. I don’t want to be in a situation where you go to raid intending to play with a certain spec and then suddenly you have to swap just because duel spec is a thing.
Diablo is a single-player action RPG (with multiplayer elements) produced by Blizzard. Decisions made on characters’ stats and talents cannot be reset and are permanent.
Dual spec is not taking decision making away, it is allowing to have more decisions to made. Single spec with respec costs actually take away decisions making because of the cap it sets on the system.
What single spec does is finalize decision-making more and frustrate players of certain groups who want to use a single character to go through different types of content.
I know what diablo is. I just don’t play it. Jesus.
Dual spec is TERRIBLE for the game. You will not change my mind on that. It 100% does take it away. If you decide you want to pvp then you SHOULD have to go to the city and pay the gold to switch. There is no other way it should be done. It needs to remain as is.
It’s not about immersion. It’s about good design and choices mattering.
I mean there is plenty of time right now as well. You could literally have a toon specifically for PvP and the other for whatever else. Duel spec solved without having to spend any gold at all.
then just increase the price to compensate… Idk why people can be so against this when its nothing but good for the playerbase.
P.s- to all you “choices mattering” people. Look at how well these covenants in Shadowlands have worked with the “choices” and “RP” elements being meaningful. Its a crap show of inbalance and blatantly better covenants and abilities and some specs are useless without an ability, i.e- venthyr enh shamans, You cannot play enhance without chain harvest or you SEVERELY gimp yourself.
Giving dual spec is what would be best for the game. If your guild is so hardcore that you need to hearth and port back to the raid for a boss when you swap specs, then so be it, but you DO NOT have to do that. so get over it.
