Yes Dual Spec

[Argentia-defias-pillager]

Another dual spec topic? I am firmly against dual spec.

There’s tons of little things that change when dual spec is added to the game. It’s hard to quantify them all. The best way to put it is it makes players think about their characters very differently. A character who can change between a PvP and PvE spec at will is inherently a LOT more powerful. All of this changes the way the game feels, and thus removes a LOT (and for me, ALL) of the classic energy

I will not, EVER, play a version of WoW that has dual spec.

Here’s an incomplete list of specific ways dual spec hurts the game:

@Anthracia-burning-legion

︎ People are less likely to roll an alt for farming
︎ People may be more likely to roll on a pvp server, which are already more popular than pve servers, because they can just press a button and go from a perfect pvp spec to perfect pve spec
︎ Some classes have hybrid pve/pvp specs that are good for doing dungeons and good enough for world pvp. Nobody will play those anymore
︎ Heal specs are less likely to group with others if they can just swap specs whenever, for free. I can solo a lot of stuff on a paladin, if I can get into the proper build and gear. Why do I need your help?
︎ It makes the game even more min-maxified, because people are going to be expected to be in the perfect spec for the given content at all times
︎ It removes what is one of the few substantial gold sinks/ inflation reducers that remains after people have bought all their skills, professions, mount, etc.

Also, from aggrend’s twitter:

Actual vanilla classic isn’t for everyone, but there are a lot of people who love it. They’ve wanted this for a long time and I am glad we are able to give it to them. If SoD, or Cata, or Modern, or something else entirely is your jam, you do you!

I suggest you heed his advice
