Let me re-emphasize that. Two. Sorcerers. Not even a Sorc and Assassin. No. Two of the same AC. That's ridiculous.

Give us Dual-Spec or Cap Respec-Costs.

Yes, I am working on two Operatives. I'd like to have that character slot free for something else, but I feel like my hands are tied with things as they are right now. They look exactly the same. Even their gear is pretty much identical in appearance. It sucks.

I'd like to experiment with my 3rd talent tree. Maybe I should just suck it up and make another Operative. I also wanted to give Sniper a try. I guess if I like it a lot, that's 3 more characters right there. Look at that....it's potentially 6 characters for 2 classes. That is messed up. It's not fun.

Oh well. At least the IA has an engaging class story.

Wait what?... who quotes a question and doesn't answer it?

How about I go back and read this thread again and you tell me if the story in this game for all these unique classes compels you at all to roll and try them, and if you think dual spec removes the need for people to re roll Alts to achieve different goals?

I didn't realize the story changed each time I rolled an Inquisitor.

The only reason there is a cost at all is to keep the hard core folks (or the people who pretend that playing a video game makes them hard core) quiet. I mean seriously...
What about changing gender?
Race?
Classes?
Advanced Classes?

Where does it stop?

Sorry but your sub only allows you to access the game. You do not own anything ingame.

Haven't you heard it's a quality of life issue.

Quality of Life refers to someone who cannot do the same basic human functions in the real world.

If you played a toon that had no legs and needed a special vehicle only obtainable by whatever spec than you could use the quality of life term.

But you are using it to refer to hitting a button in a pretend world that changes your role.

If you truly had quality of life issues I am sure you wouldn't say that changing your spec in a video game is one of them.

Why re-roll? Leveling is easy, but I wouldn't say it is exactly fun to go back through the exact same story line you've already done with the same AC. If it costs me 100k to respec, that's about an hour of doing daily missions on my level 50 scoundrel. It would take a lot of hours to bring a new character up to 50 and never mind getting a second set of good gear. I would much rather spend the money to respec my current character than level and gear a new one.

Quick question for all against dual spec:

Do you currently or do you intend to do PvP regularly?

I'm going to hazard a guess that not many (if any at all) do.
