Nah only a few hybrids do, there simply isn’t enough swing in role requirements from fight to fight for there to be any reason for everyone to maintain multiple specs/gear.
The “ZOMG EVERYEONE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE DUAL SPEC AND SWITCH EVERY PULL OR BE GKICKED” is just blatant fear mongering, most of the raid stay in one spec the entire time and the people most likely to switch are shockingly the people most likely to want and have dual spec anyways.
Oh for sure, but the idea of being forced as a hybrid to maintain multiple roles worth of gear is just… not new at all. With double tokens starting in Phase 2, the likelihood that I’m rocking a full set of T5 for 2 or more roles is going to be very likely, and yet the times I’ll actually go Resto or Balance are going to be “Once In a Blue Moon” at best.
Yuuuuup.
I’m not a fan of adding dual spec, but if they just removed respec cost and left everything else the way it is I would be totally fine with that. That way players are still tasked with going back to a class trainer to respec, but don’t have to worry about spending the gold.
This keeps guilds from constantly morphing their raids to the most optimal composition from boss to boss, but still gives players the ability to respec freely outside of raid for whatever it is they may want to do.
if even 1 hybrid class is forced to be dual spec and change to a spec he doesn’t want to be mid raid, then dual spec is a bad idea.
Thank you for admitting that that’s one less reason dual spec would be a problem.
If anything the opposite problem happens now and too frequently. People forced into raid specs because it’s needed with much less options to use another spec outside of raid.
You are right. Dual spec doesn’t change anything because it didn’t change anything in wrath. pvpers still begged trade for gold. Your still going to be broke with or without dual spec because you wont go out and farm gold. That is the bottom line here.
thank you for admitting that dual spec is a bad idea, and people who want it should wait till wrath.
yup, and eventually they just got rid of gold as a thing people had to worry about. the slippery slope of retail.
Everyone saying dual spec would cause hybrids to be forced to use both specs. You could only change specs in rest areas. How is this any different than going to a trainer and respecing. Not to mention Dual spec would allow a much easier time swapping back and forth even if you had to be at a rest area simply because you’d have your bars saved between specs. That in itself would be absolutely huge for several aspects of the game. It is not fun having to setup bars everytime you respec.
What’s ironic about that argument is that people are forced into specs now for raids but have much less ability to mitigate that.
Hypocrisy is fun.
If respecing cost gold and you want to respec than you want gold. Get off the forums and go farm something. Bottom line here is everyone crying about dual spec just doesn’t want to go out into the world and farm. IF you don’t even want to play the game than why are you wasting your time on it?
do’t care what you have to do irl as your excuse for why you wont go farm gold. Go to school, go to work, raise the kids. I dont care. If you dont have time for the game than get your gamer dad stuff out of here.
You people keep trying to make classic more and more like retail its really sad to see.

Who is “forcing” players to do that?
It’s almost like
gasp
classic is not a perfect game and could do with a lot of improvements for a modern playerbase
IMAGINE THAT
If you are so upset about others not playing the game how you have arbitrarily deemed “correct” maybe an MMO RPG isn’t for you?
Hybrids are already required by some guilds to swap spec/role/gear mid-raid, and are expected to be able to get to their trainer and swap ASAP without holding up the raid.
By this logic, the ability to respec at all is a bad idea.
Same sorry argument. ‘OH NO IT"S GOING TO BE RETAIL IF DUAL SPEC IS IN!!!’ Lets not fix something that they knew was a problem back then but hadn’t developed a fix yet for because it wasn’t originally in.
The game… I can’t play fire mage on bosses that are literally immune to fire…

Nice job trying flip the script but I am not the one who is struggling with playing the game the way it is currently. You are the one who needs to find something else because tbc clearly is not for you.
one is exceedingly more convenient than the other, so you will be forced to do it more often.
Level a hunter miner/herber. That way your main can have dual crafter professions, and you’ll have rep for recipes. A hunter miner/herber needs no rep, just nice single target DPS for killing stuff and excellent for mining/herbing while avoiding hostile mobs.
Don’t expect to find much terocone or mana thistle… overrun with bots/players that just hover all day in those select zones.
2 of my tanks (3rd feral so no need to respec) only needed to respec to dps to clear the quests for gold after dungeoning mostly to 70.
You’re looking for a future expansion fix when a current fix has existed from day 1.
