Big wins for casuals! Dual Spec - Cross server

The game, or the Genre itself does not *need* to cater to people who might be better off in facebook gaming. I could probably blame that on blizzard getting greedy and doing a great job of it. They sold out MMO gamers really.

Maybe a little dramatic, but i just dont see games truely aimed at giving players that epic experience anymore. It's focused on the formula that will get money. Personally I am holding out to see if Guild Wars 2 lives up to their marketing hype, if not I might just pull out of the watered-down MMO genre for a while.

Can somebody honestly explain to me exactly what this Dual-spec is supposed to do? how its implemented?

Is it simply, you get to have 2 versions of the same character essentially?

Please give me a description, so I may discover why its not needed here.

Dual spec:
Within a AC you can switch between two talent tree builds. Conditions; delay and outside of combat.

Ok, thanks for this.

I guess that is what i was fearing all along. Its nothing that adds any more content, abilities or "secondary classes" but its just a way for lazy people not to have to create alts to get the characters they want.

I am officially against this then. The respec system that is in place should be enough. Your character should stay true to how you made them. If you want a healer instead, then go roll and level a healer to play with.

Dual spec is the ability to have 2 different talent tree set-ups you can toggle between, out of combat. This is accompanied by also having action bars saved to each set up too.

Example I'll use is a Sith Sorcerer. Right now you might be specced into corruption healing, and if you want to play dps to the maximum for whatever reason, you need to go to the respec trainer.

If we add dual spec, that first spec is heals, you toggle to the second set of talents, the healing talents and action bars are saved. The second spec you can set to be dps talents, you setup your action bars for dps, and away you go. Both specs remain set-up until you choose to respec one or the other.

Meaning you can easily transition into different roles, different group environments, fill in gaps that bit easier.

Thank you for explaining, but YUCK, do not want or see the need. But I am more of a roleplayer them a meta-gamer. I think you should have to be "stuck" with the character you created, or make another.
