Dual Spec Changes

Live Posted 2009/02/24 at 4:25 PM by Malgayne

Characters level 40 and up may now use the dual-spec system.

The cost to activate the ability is .

The ability no longer requires a Lexicon of Power.

Switching specs has a 5-second cast time. It may not be used in combat, or in battlegrounds or arenas.

There is no cooldown on switching specs.

That's a week PER TOON of extra farming... not to mention if I was to save already for epic flyers for all toons... and say I have 10 toons... that's TEN WEEKS of WORK for something that should be FUN.

Being able to do it at level 40 isn't triviality?

Using an expensive reagent only scribes can make. Let's be honest here.

So scribes will no longer need to my a lexicon(sp?) of power to swap specs anymore? What is the requirement then, it just happens?

Comment by philippecote3You don't. Get main up to level 80. If you start an alt that needs two specs, most likely a pally, druid, or shammy, then send him some gold. My guy is 78 and can make easily 2000 gold a day, I expect 80 is a bit better with heroics and whatnot.Comment by 313143No, alright here imagine yorue a hunter.

You spec BM and MM.

You want to switch mm to sv

go to youre friendly class trainer

and unlearn mm

spec sv for you 2nd spec

there you goComment by 329504This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by 110508Stop saying toon.

Otherwise awesome!Comment by 236593Okay. This is totally pointless to be honest. I spec the way I like for my play style and hardly ever respec on any of my characters. And I have 9 active characters on 1 server currently ranging from level 18 to 78. All classes except Priest on that server. I'm not 80 so don't get invited to raids or heroics which is fine with me. For now.

Gold. If gold is such a trivial matter, then why do we have gold sites coming into the game trying to sell the stuff for REAL money? And I see for once that I am not the only one who isn't walking around with all my characters at money cap and having to buy some junk item (potion, armor repair, etc) from a vendor just so I can loot some money from a corpse or get money from a quest. The amount of gold needed for this game BEGS PEOPLE TO BUY IT FROM SITES ILLEGALLY and risk getting BANNED. I thought Blizzard was all about putting this out of business? They make sure to plaster the notice to "report spam" on gold sellers when they clutter up your chat window yet are trying to give them business with every action otherwise. I only just got my BASIC flying mount 3 days ago on my level 78 and can't even think about it for anyone else until I can get another 1000 gold. And I have 2 other characters at 60+ and nearly 70 so barrelling down on the flight skill.

Why would we need to respec on the fly anyway? Like someone previously said in a post, get gear/glyphs/talents and BE a tank if you want to tank or a healer if you want to heal or whatever. As the quote goes, "Know your role!" Of course, with the talent trees constantly getting nerfed or f'd up you can't have a role any longer because it will only last until the next maintainence. I used to have a Ret Pally until Lich King and now I don't know what to be. Between trees getting shuffled (GEE THANKS ON THE UNHOLY DK BLIZZ), talents/spells getting removed/renamed and useless stuff getting put in as filler, I can't find roles for my characters any more so why would I need to respec when I can't spec the first time?

Just my 2 copper worth. Maybe I'm half asleep and need some more caffeine but seems reasonable to me at the moment.Comment by GangialfHow the hell u get "easily" 2k gold per day ? plz tell me, i really need money so badly :)Comment by 242910This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by dumacKek?

Why level 40 though?Comment by dumacGold. If gold is such a trivial matter, then why do we have gold sites coming into the game trying to sell the stuff for REAL money?

It was already had* to find good Warr tanking gear
Now the pally healer can loot it for his Tanking spec....

I welcome Dual Spec so I can do arena to but not off the expence of giving pally's the permission to loot everything on the menu.....

Grtz

Edit *hard*needjustandBlizzard, please... 1 thousand gold?

I myself am a level 64 hunter. The way I can farm cash is from Fel Iron. I use to sell it 50g a stack. Now, one fine day, I am about to AH some of it, oh and guess what! Some gold farmers are selling stacks of it for 20g! That's just great. Anyone tell me a better bloody way to get money please? How about focusing some of those billions that you make on getting rid of bots?

Now Blizzard, you must understand that we aren't all pulling cash out of the ground. With the recent BM nerf, 1/2 the leaders ask me what spec I am before joining The Blood Furnace, and as soon as I say BM they say refuse to invite me. Now whoop-ti-do! Now there are going to be much more dps, tanks and healers around. Hey, instead of making insane costs, why don't you start fixing bugs? There are quite a few with hunters.

Oh, and weren't we promised new dances?

Dear Blizzard, I wish you could at least lower it a bit? 250 gold? Oh and make people who have respecced 75 or more times for free. Oh and what about kicking mounts down 10 levels and making the total cost 40g? May I have 60 gold please? My regards.

My question still stands. HOW. DO. I. EARN. MONEY. AT. MY. LEVEL.

Edited for more content.I can't believe people are actually complaining... This is a privilage, not a right. Blizzard decide to make the game a little bit more convenient and fun, and introduce an exciting new system to do so, and people start bashing them?
If you have been playing the game for a long time, I bet that you have spent at least 10000g respeccing, cause I know I have.
If you don't like the new 'Dual Speccing' system, don't buy it :), you've been playing the game just fine so far without it. Just enjoy the new system, it COULD actually work :)

Let's see. 2 80 toons, all Icecrown and Hodir dailies open on them both... Hmmmmmmmmm... Let's see, that is over 1200g a day... yeah, I think I will get this on my 80 Hunter, 80 Shaman, and my 51 Paladin! ;)

But in all seriousness people, if you don't want to spend the gold, then don't. If you want the epic ability to have two talent specs on your toon, then spend the 1k gold on it. Other wise, get to your dailies, mat farming, or w/e it is that some people do to make their money. 1000 gold is nothing to cry over when you spend 7k on a toon the moment they hit 77.

Just throwing in my 2 cents.Tell me that I am wrong or w/e. I don't care. All I am saying is that I will thoroughly enjoy the new addition to the game that I love.Comment by 248482This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by 274523This post was from a user who has deleted their account.
