2:10 PM: They are working on a dual spec system! It's going to be aweosme. They want you to be able to switch specs in the middle or raids in a simple way. You will not be able to switch specs in the middle [of a fight??? iiada] or an arena, per se, but it will make things much easier on the whole.

this seems to solve a lot of problems. of course I'll just go for two different pvp specs...

Dual-Spec system
  • The dual-spec system will be introduced in a content patch. The goal is to let you switch specs very easily in raid, even between fights ! However it won't be possible to switch specs in the middle of an arena match.
  • With dual-spec introduced in the game, there are also discussions about an Itemrack-like mod being introduced to the default UI
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is going to be a dual-spec interface introduced in a content patch after the expansion. The talent spec process will be revisited at the same time. (Confirmation boxes to prevent misplaced talents, etc ...)

Re: Dual specs may be a reality

Sweet!

I never respecced between level 1-70 with either my lock/tank/priest, too much hassle to find trainer and dish cash for something i'd use for dailies about an hour each day, every day. This makes leveling/instancing so much easier!

Not going to play my priest tho, changes with +healing are such that i'll wait 6 months for the fix that will eventually come.

Re: Dual specs may be a reality

You will not notice any change in the numbers your heals do with the spell power change, but that's a different topic.

How will they work for lvling up? when do you just get 1 talent point for each spec? Also, really excited about this.

Re: Dual specs may be a reality

So lock's will be able to max dps by going affliction or destro according to fight. that's nice.

Druids/shammys/pallys will be able to swtich between two of tank/heal/dps...that's much nicer.

Lock/mage dps *will* have to be outstanding to warrant our place.

(I read blue post btw that implied this would be in post Wrath of the Lich King patch)

Re: Dual specs may be a reality

mmm greater flexibility for raids.

judging by the quotes on the website it seems the intent is you can't respec in combat ( for obvious reasons ) and inside bgs / arena

for non hybrids it just means greater min/max allowance as ickle pointed out or pvp / pve spec. for hybrids it just means they can switch between 2 roles easier.

compared to now, at least we don't have to boot out our healer and summon in more dps just because boss X needed more healers while boss Y needed more dps.

also makes lvling a tank / healer easier since we can switch to "dps mode" when we're solo, no more spending 3hrs to finish dailies
