The lack of dual spec is pretty brutal honestly. It isn't even the cost. It is the sheer massive inconvenience of having to change all the time and make sure you spend every single point correctly. Then setting up all your bars AGAIN.

Let's get ability delay fixed for pvp before we start asking for dual spec. What's the point in switching from healing to dps when my abilities don't fire in time-sensitive situations?
I can't heal through stupid....

Since when could companies only do one thing at one time?

What's the point in switching from healing to dps when my abilities don't fire in time-sensitive situations? Yes, but they *are* already working on Ability Delay. Actively even. As they get Ability Delay resolved (and more and more of the playerbase reaches max level) Warzones, Flashpoints, and Operations are going to be how many people spend their time playing - and it would be darn nice if when that happens we can easily and quickly form groups or queue up for PvP without having to Respec and redo all our bars first

Are people seriously saying we shouldn't have dual specs? Really? I bet if I posted we should have armor sets there would be idiots saying "in real life you should have to put on each piece of gear, you're not hardcore enough" ... Man, the ignorance of some people is astounding...

If you want to PvP, optimize for PvP and work harder at PvE. If you want to PvE.... figure it out. Or --and I know this is shocking-- pick a balance somewhere in between, and let your "skill" fill in the things you've lost. What's the point of it being an RPG if you swap your stats, abilities, class, and gear every twenty minutes like TF2 or some other FPS? There is a limit to how far "skill" will take you in an operations setting. If I spec half way between PvP and PvE as a tank, the PvE tank right next to me will take ~5-10% less damage than me, period. It's not like I can somehow make that up by dodging bosses attacks myself or something. The dedicated pve tank wins out, and I never get to play.

They set the rate of respecs on a scale roughly equal to typical patching schedules. Slow enough to prevent toggling between builds but, fast enough to adjust to rules changes that impact your build.

I should be able to change my spec whenever I want to. They are my characters. I paid for them. It's nobody's business what my spec is or how many times I've changed it.
