On-The-Fly Dual Spec = Retail, and would destroy SoD

Huge L- take. Dual spec would be good for classic/SOD.

Reason why I enjoy classic more then retail is the storyline is to much to follow. Now I am fine with dual spec in dual spec cause when I am doing dungeon runs and I am playing a class that can tank or heal then I am down with picking it up but when I had to pay so much gold and run to a town that can take a bit I dont like it, But I put up with it cause I love classic.

And so do classic players, I don’t understand your argument.

If you want to play classic, you have that option, you have Era and HC too, so 3 versions.

SoD is not classic nor was it ever advertised as a true classic experience, as they said “it’s classic with a +”, meaning they’re making changes, if dual specs is one of those changes great, huge QoL especially with the Rune system.

If you want classic go play classic/era/hc, SoD is far from retail, let Blizzard experiment, it’s not even released and your already doom saying it’s to close to retail :man_facepalming:t4:.

Like seriously how many more Classic versions of WoW do we need to make you happy?.

Im fine with dual spec. Perhaps it could have a cost so players have to ‘earn’ it.

Well, SoD is a classic endeavor. For instance, I don’t demand retail expansions be based on classic.

So is wrath, which has dual spec and is where most of the rune based abilities are from. So that’s a pretty wobbly leg for you to try and stand on.

They would be dumb to not have dual spec in a season all about discovery and trying out new stuff.

Wrath is just a remedial version of retail.

The reasoning behind not having duel spec is pretty lousy that chalks up to “yeah well you should waste time if you want to play something else”.

These people must have never played a hybrid spec that requires you to respec if you want to do anything out in the open world or to pvp or to dungeon heal.

having duel spec dose not equal = retail wow, this arguments is so stupid to gimp players time for wanting to PVP & pve. Which makes this argument even more stupid because in order for a person to go heal or tank or pvp you MUST go waste time changeling out your bars & talents just to do 1 battle ground or to heal a dungeon is a prerequisite in order to play the game. it’s been well close to 20 years of this game where this topic only benefits people that have endless time to spend on nonsense gameplay.

Give me a break, it won’t kill you to see someone else enjoying the game the way they want to because you feel it necessary to push this crap onto others on wasting time.

I have no problem with players stopping at the trainer to switch over to a PVP spec after running a dungeon. My issue is on the fly spec swapping. In between mob packs. Or right at the start of a dungeon or something. That’s where the problem is.

Wanna play some pvp? That’ll be 50 gold, bud. This is the spirit of vanilla.

Well I think respec costs should be drastically lowered. I wouldn’t even have a problem if it was free. So long as you have to stop at the trainer to make the switch. The only problem is on the fly spec swapping.

That’s how it works in WotLK.

Why? As long as it can’t be used in combat, I see no problem with it.

While I don’t mind dual spec at all in the wotlk sense, I also wouldn’t mind that compromise either.

That is a wild comparison. Theyve already hinted at dual spec. Strap in buckos and hang on for the ride!

It creates a very tedious pug meta. Where you will have to 100% always be playing the meta spec or be booted. On the flip side, if changing specs requires going to town first, it’s likely not going to be worth the hassle of waiting. People will be much more willing to not worry about specs in pugs.

Adding on the fly spec swapping only encourages the toxicity you see in retail.

Ok First did you not play tbc or Classic 2019 ? Cough cough stack warriors Cough cough world buffs ? I always find it funny how people like to pretend that classic wasn’t toxic. I was there in 2004 And people were just as toxic as they are now the only difference ?

It’s easier to find people and it’s easier to communicate with people and everybody knows everything Secondly no speaking from someone that plays both classic and dragonflight.

Duel Spec is not the same thing as flying mounts they have two completely different functions first off.

People are going to be toxic and want you to go to the rates with the ideal spec. There’s always going to be people like that Just saying whenever you look at a raid You don’t see a lot of arms warriors or full protection warriors either.

Som Proved that quite well I think I say dull speck is needed It’s not fun to have to pay 50g Every single time you want to try something different you want my opinion. I think they should add the dragonflight style.

Where you can have as many specs as you want and Save each one Choice is good variety is good and it’s a season on top of that.

And again this isn’t vanilla It’s not classic if you want that you can go to era sod is Classic+

I agree. And I wouldn’t stand in the way of them making respecs free and savable in templates. But you should have to stop at the trainer.

Why Again, that’s not fun What? How is it fun game play to go oh I have to go all the way back to the city just a switch ?

It’s not fun The whole point of sod Is classic+ aka new There’s a lot of stuff that was in the original game That time has proven just didn’t play out well.

Hot take World buffs should be undispellable and Drop in Every major city every five hours and Cronoboon should be free.

Ya i sed it It’s not fun gameplay to have to go all the way back to a major city, just a change or spec On top of that, they’re going to let you change runes out of combat on top of that.

Let me remind you of something When you switch specs you go 2 Zero mana And rage and Energy.

So that’s going to slow people down enough that’s good enough slow down There’s no need for you have to go back to major city just to do something new.
