Hook us up with some dual spec.

Dual spec is not needed. No.

Allowing someone to switch between tank/heal/dps simply doesn't promote community. Also, kinda unfair to the ACs that only have 1 role.

What is needed however, is a system that will allow you to set a "PvP spec", which you automatically switch to when you are PvP flagged.

Not everything has to promote community, does it?

The companion system doesn't promote community, it's there for the benefit of the individual player.

Is this discussion still going on, why is it still going on? They have already said that Dual Spec is on their to-do list, it is something they will implement. They haven't gotten around to it nor do they have any specifics, other than it will be coming.

No, it doesn't. It has to not work against it tho.

The companion system is in, because it's a BioWare game.

And while a, say, companion healer can help you out in your solo content, it can't replace a real player healer in, wait for it, group content. Well, heroics maybe.

Your post truly shows how ignorant you are. QoL improvements aren't a necessity and no where did I state that those changes were "needed". The fact that you state that WoW is failure also shows your ignorance. People have already posted how lucrative WoW is in earlier threads, perhaps you should go back and read those posts. And of course, the monetary success is of course due to the huge player base of 10million+ (Is that a failure?).

What has Blizzard stolen from Add-on Devs? And they haven't had an original though in its existence? Are you just spouting nonsense now? Post some proof to back up your ridiculous claims if you want anyone to even consider believing you.

So who exactly is the ten year old troll here?

Not to mention ham fisted class balancing by the devs, and the HORRIBLE pvp level system you can't even get started on till 50... to get gear that is literally game breaking in pvp.

Which I have a feeling will be the same case in swtor (the gear being game breaking vs those without it) however thankfully it's definitely easier to get (though 50's definitely need to be separated from everyone in the 1-49 range.

The only thing Dual spec achieves is to please lazy ppl that want to be able to do everything without effort. But they are unable to realize simple things like that all this is just reducing diversity and uniqueness of the 20 classes we have now in the game. Duals spec reduces classes from 20 to 8. AC swapping will reduce them to 4. And when that happens they will want to swap between all 4 classes because it is "Quality of life improvement" and otherwise they will be forced to level another char but they just CBA. All their game playing can be summed in "I want everything because I CBA anything".

Since when leveling as tank or healer is impossible? No they just CBA to level 15% slower even if they have groups 50% faster. (Numbers taken from my "you know what"). If you haven't noticed you have companions and they can be perfect STRONG healers, DPSes and tanks if you know how to gear yourself and companion.

Its just plain stupid to ruin all the diversity and uniqueness we now have only because you CBA to learn how to gear and use your companion.

Hahahahaha World of Warcraft, the single most successful MMO in the history of anything MMO related and it's a failed model?!?!

EVERY MMO released aspires to be as successful and WoW, not be confused with cloning WoW but simply to be as successful.

Your logic and post is a failed model!!

Dual Spec in WOW came out 5 years after the game was released. Quit saying this game needs it. No game NEEDS it.

I made 4 different warriors back in the day for WOW. Each was unique in his own way or for a certain playstyle.

In any game, when you roll a healer you know your damage to monsters will be lower. Dual Spec killed this concept. I wanna to play a healer but now i can respec to kill stuff uber fast and then respec back to healer. Players should not have the option to have it both ways. Choose your playstyle and commit.

Same logic should go for a PVP character. If you want a PVP character, then you know your PVE will be less effective and vise versa.

I will sign a petition for never having dual spec.
