Solution to dual spec, lower respec cost to 10g

Hi, Piper.

Leveling resto outside a dungeon is the worst.

I can heal dungeons as feral, but not for much longer, and it’s anxiety producing.

If only there was a caster dps spec for druids that’s also flexible with healing. If only.

[Notglinda-pagle]

@Painkillers-faerlina

If only.

Leveling as feral is far, far faster.

[Sigillite-pagle]

add dual spec
just make it cost 50g every time
problem fixed

[Obliterated-mankrik]

Wtf is this retail? Boomkins didnt become even slightly viable until like wraith or whatever, maybe even cata.

My main tank does pvp as arms. has ran dungeons as arms dps. and Main tanks raid.

He doesn’t have an identity the man is just rich. Lower the cost

[Khlause-kurinnaxx]

Yeah I don’t see dual spec fixing the tank & healer woes either.

Respec was eventuality made free in retail and still didn’t fix the problem; for a short time we got some people who kinda spec’d to tank and that was short lived because per usual they got abused and quit tanking.

@Reineir-mankrik

Allowing you to spec anything you want hasn’t fixed the tank and healer problem in retail, so no, it won’t fix the tank and healer shortage.

You’re comparing apples to oranges.

Is this about leveling fast or not having to level as resto? Your complaint was leveling as resto would be too painful.

[Notglinda-pagle]

Yes.

[Vod-earthfury]

If people don’t want to tank because they don’t enjoy it, then fair enough, the respec costs won’t change their minds, however there are some of us who would tank if the respec fee was low, or dual spec.

anecdata

I like that. I’m going to try to appropriate it without citation moving forward.

[Brucewhine-suramar]

Better be a juicy incentive when pally tanks can pull 200g per hour vendoring trash from soloing instances.

If you sell runs, double that…

Literally can go farm spec to raid spec in 15-30 minutes time.

I would literally just use dual spec for a raid tank and a farm tank.

Go for it.

That’s what I did.

@Vherizmia-westfall

I didn’t say there would be no change, I said there would be no significant change. Of course some people would use it, but not enough to matter. Not only will not as many dps as you think decide to tank or heal off spec, but you’d also have existing tanks and healers decide the queue time is worth not dealing the hassle of being a tank or a healer

Do you have anything but personal experience and conjecture to back this up?

[Feliciane-netherwind]

With the Talented addon, and having my hearth set to Stormwind, swapping specs is really easy in that regard, but doing it for a single run is a shockingly poor use of gold, IMO.

[Drooler-grobbulus]

That addon sounds handy for those who swap often.

[Painkillers-faerlina]

@Obliterated-mankrik

even cata.

You can level and heal just fine with a balance spec. This obsession with wanting to be the most optimal spec at everything is a cancer to classic.

[Mobikon-atiesh]

Solution to dual spec is…

…ready for it…?

Dual spec!
