Ever had to respec multiple times in a day? Ever misallocate points and have to spec again? Some people even “have” to respec enough to be spending 1000g in a week. Poor or not spending that much gold consistently isn’t sustainable. You could easily wipe 10k gold in a month or two.
oh so you want to be competitive? seems like spending money on respecs is the least you can do if you want to be on top of your game.

You are ignoring my entire point.
You can’t just play matches when you and your friend have free time, you have to find time when neither of you raid for 2-3 days, to maximize your respec to pvp spec.
It limits people taking arena seriously, because you can’t just play when you want. you have to drop 100g every time you want to play matches.
If your friend logs on and you have 2 hours of free time, you should be able to just go queue some matches, but instead its
Yo, wanna play some games? nah I got raid in 2hrs, not worth spending 100g for a couple games, we gotta wait for another day
For me, it’s less about the actual gold, and more about whether or not that 100g was well spent. My guild raids Tuesday’s and thursdays. That means that in order to get the most out of that 100g, I need to make sure that I get my money’s worth during that 4 day window. The problem is I’m constantly asking myself before a respec “do I really intend to do 100g worth of PvP, or do I really intend to do 100g worth of farming (in addition to my normal farming)?” I mean that’s 25g a day…
For me, the answer is almost always no. Furthermore, there’s the issue of traveling to and from a capital city every time you want to respec. If I want to respec another spec for our window of off time, I need to make sure I’m specced back to my raid spec by raid time. It may seem trivial, but for me, I often get home just in time to make it to the raid. Having that added element of “oh man, I gotta go respec first” just adds an extra incentive toward not respecting.
It doesn’t help that TBC is an expensive expansion. We’ve replaced the constant need of consumables in classic with 5200g on a flying mount, big repair bills because wearing TBC epics isn’t cheap, spending large amounts on trade skill items because our BIS pieces don’t come cheap, keeping consumables stocked for raid night, etc.
I hated classic, because I felt like I was unable to play my main as often as I’d like due to raid-logging. Unfortunately, I’ve encountered the same sort of road block in TBC, but it’s due to farming factions, farming gold, working on attunements, doing my arena matches, farming BG’s for gear so that I can be effective in my arena matches, farming primals…the list goes on.
I’d really love dual spec because that’s just one less thing I need to worry about. Not to mention I really prefer enhance but my guild desperately needed a Resto Shaman. Now I feel like I’m pigeonholed into a spec I enjoy, but not as much as I might with a different spec, and I can’t bring myself to spend 100g a week on respecs with everything else I have to do. 100g a week doesn’t sound like a lot, but four months of that and you’ve burnt 1200 gold, not to mention the annoyance of having to constantly travel back to a capitol city.
I’d be cool with a dual spec buy-in that had like a 24 hour cool down. I’d be fine with only one respec a day, but the current system is flawed for basically no reason at all.

Dual Spec is great.
“Derp derp you must commit to your spec.”
No. You like the player who plays that class and how well they play it.
These people sound insecure that they may be easily overshadowed by someone who can do all 3 specs of the main’s class better than them.
I want to PVE.
I want to PVP.
Waiting 30mins-hour for a tank? Hell, let me swap, slap on my gear, and roll in.
Dual spec saves your talent tree choices.
Dual spec saves your bar setup.
I don’t have to BURN 10-20 MINUTES SETTING IT ALL BACK UP going to the city, plunking them in, and moving my bars around.
If it never comes in TBCC? That’s fine. It comes in Wrath.
Those getting hostile over this need to get over themselves.
You like the player. Not their damn snowflake spec.

Quality of life improvements to the game do not impact the difficulty factors that we wanted:
- Hard dungeons (that aren’t dumb, like Shadowlands dungeons)
- Hard raids + no lame world buffs that turn it to ez-mode
- Talent tree
Just give us dual spec, cross realm group finders/matchmaking. The QoL stuff from retail with the features and difficulty of TBC.
Waiting for the Taco Bell manager to walk in here with a big “NUH-UH. NO CHANGES. WE NEED THE SERVER CUMMUNITY AND NOTHING ELSE CUZ HORDE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO STACK 100 PEOPLE IN FRONT OF EVERY DUNGEON AND RAID ENTRANCE TO FARM ALLY WHO ARE WALKING IN CUZ NO CHANGES WORLD PVP THUGLYFE ALL UR BASE ARE BELONG TO US WOOP WOOP.”
Yo. You really like 15 years ago so bad, go move back in with your mom … assuming you ever moved out.
Dual spec would probably even add more community in. People finally able to try new specs they haven’t got to before. More activity in Normal and Heroic dungeons as people go to gear up those specs.
More life in the world because the healers/tanks can actually go quest/farm for once, and more WPVP because we aren’t rotting in some PVE spec.
what a happy coincidence. this is the exact design philosophy that they use in wrath. you can enjoy it all you want when wrath classic comes out.
oh is respeccing broken?
most people are not stopped by a measly 50g respec fee (and it’s actually cheaper than that for like the first 10 respecs or so).
Its all good. I just wanted to get you to read a longer post. Even though i know you read the other post. I know you lied just to be a troll. That was obvious. Just like i knew you would not be able to resist with another pointless troll reply. Even left out who i was responding to. Somehow you were able to know that comment was intended for you.
Ha. I win.

It’s actually 100g, and most peoples points is that it stops them from respeccing unless they can time it to utilize multiple days in that respec, so it prevents them from respeccing to do something for a few hours real quick.
But you know that, you just like to stir the pot on your lvl 20 being obnoxious lol

Honestly I read the 2nd post in its entirety but did not read the first post past the line that I quoted
Man you guys are really against people discussing the game, and different aspects of it, critiquing it where it falls short. On forums that are literally for the discussion of the game.
Also the people that call someone else a whiner on the forums, are generally the people throwing the biggest fit, because someone dares to say there is an aspect of the game that could be improved
that’s the problem. you think this game, TBC classic, exists to “be improved”. it does not. it comes as is. every change made to it is a degradation of the product. boosts? degradation. mount? degradation. seal of the martyr? degradation. dual spec? absolute degradation.
you either like the game as it is designed, or you don’t. if you don’t, get out. it’s that simple. and honestly, we are losing our patience with you dual spec babies.
