The only thing we actually NEED

LF1M MANA TOMBS NEED TANK
LF1M SETTHEK CALLS NEED TANK

come one honestly dual spec is the only thing that is acutally needed and would improve gameplay badly
that is the only thing that was very not needed in the game coz 50 g for changin ur spec is a lot
and I know tons of ppl who woudlnt mind tanking but dont want to make it their main spec or waste 50 G each time which makes sense

Or roll a tank. At this point people playing warrior/paladins/druids who aren’t tanking is not because of dual spec. It’s because it’s not the most engaging role to play, and it’s not for everyone.

Dual Spec would fix nothing. If you wanted to level via dungeons you could spend 50g and level entirely dungeon spamming, it’s also faster and more efficient anyway. Why aren’t they doing that?

Dual spec isn’t stopping this. If someone has a tank capable class and they are doing dungeons they will be rolling tank already because of how quick the groups would be.

Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t mind dual spec all that much, but dual spec isn’t the reason for the shortage of tanks.

i’d tank for ya but I spent 30g to respec ret so I could kill mobs while questing easier using my Hellreaver, and I think it costs more to respec every time and these quests are giving like 1g and stuff.

did you not here? tanks are obsolete. just wait till a bot max levels and charges gold you wont need a true tank this is NEW world of warcraft remasterd.

i love to tank got 2 saved to classic. pally and warrior… im just waiting to see were bcc goes after the boost are done. what there plan is for the future

as for duel spec it had its ups and downs i am fine with it or without it

maybe for a reason that its nto the most egnaging role to play we need dual spec to have this role???
i dont ask u why there is little tanks. its obv enough
why would I play a tank if i have been playng hunter for 7 years?
dual spec would fix a lot. and this problem with tanks for sure
no idea who told u that it didnt fix it on retail
as i said I already know personally 5 friends who woudlnt mind tanking if dual spec existed

While it might help a bit, dual spec did not solve this issue back in the day on retail. It will not solve the issue now on Classic.

Tank shortages are a thing because the other roles are disproportionately played compared to how many tanks there are.

It’s also amplified by the fact that if you’re a decent tank you pretty much have people lining up to group with you, so you don’t really need to go to pugs where the group might be a dumpster fire.

I don’t think Dual Spec actually improves gameplay, but it does change things. Potentially quite a lot. And it would require changes, potentially quite a lot (code and design wise).

Sure it is!

True. Not everyone wants to play such an engaging role.

Thanks, Maslow.

I have about 900g saved up from questing as Ret and also doing a lot of dungeons. Might respec soon and smash out these last few levels

Pally life is easy aye

Dual spec wouldn’t change squat because the cost isn’t the problem. People have thousands of gold. You think a 10-50g fee is stopping them from tanking? No. They just don’t want to do it. So you can either roll a tank, or wait for the flood of blood elf paladins to get to outlands. These are your options.

This is very reductive, and false. I prefer ret way more than prot (and prot way more than holy.) Grinding dungeons to level sounds painfully boring. Questing as ret isn’t fun, either. I’d totally take advantage of dual spec and tank dungeons when I feel like/need to run them. I suspect there are many others who feel the same way.

maybe it has something to do with people wanting to AoE tank everything now, not a whole lot of CC like I remember, and tanks are already struggling to keep aggro as it is XD

I have had tanks actively break CC and say not to use it, when they were unable to keep aggro off the HEALER…

dual spec will not solve this

I play a class that can tank, i will not tank for you, later!

No one wants to tank because it’s a thankless, un-fun task to do for a group that doesn’t help them do their job.

Dual spec isn’t going to fix people people being insufferable. :slight_smile:

Every time the topic comes up people come out of the woodwork to tell us all about how dual spec will fix it because they know plenty of people who would tank if they just didn’t have to respec every time.

Yet the tank shortage never went away on retail even when they added dual spec and even more features to make getting into tanking easier than ever.

Dual spec might make the shortage a bit less bad but all of the evidence has always pointed towards dual spec not actually fixing it. They tried it before and it didn’t fix it. Why would this time be any different?

no one wants to tank because it only viable for 5, 10, and 25 man content
tanks are not good in pvp
Tanks are not fast at leveling or doing dailies
all duel spec will do is make it so current tanks can make a pvp or farming/daily spec
dps will just make a pvp spec
and healers will make a farming/daily spec
IT WILL NOT make the people who don’t wanna tank wanna tank
IT WILL NOT make the people who don’t wanna heal wanna heal

People that have classes that can tank choose to dont do it now, with all the god-like perks and insane demand that it have, but somehow dual spec will open their eyes?
