Thats what he said lol.

Bioware have done a great job of eliminating grinding while levelling. I don't see them going against that by keeping dual spec out.

Respec costs are absurdly high, specially considering the frequent respec we need to do our mandatory Hutt Ball, flashpoints and grind, how are we do change between DpS, PvP and healer spec 10 times a day? Even more in weekends!

I belive this absurdity roots in time constrains that EA pushed BW to release the game unfinished.

So thanks to the money mongering EA!

How exactly?

I just don't see it. WOW was the first MMO to have Dual spec and I don't see any impact there. The devs killed hybrid specs...it had nothing to do with Dual spec if that's what you mean.

I have not read one good argument against this, other than people who havent ever had this in a game and have no idea what you are missing.

PVP spec and PVE spec = good thing

Heal spec and DPS spec = good thing

People will be happier and will still roll new characters to try different content, story lines etc. This just gives us more flexibility in our selected characters. There is no way I am going to reroll a scoundrel just so I can have a heal spec and my current dps spec.

RIFT allowed multiple specs, and was the only truly outstanding thing that game had.

Don't forget the gear, the companion affection and codex entries your main character has.

Personal preference? Why is it so hard to accept that other people don't play the game in the exact same manner and/or with the exact same goals in mind as others? For many people, the ability to vary playstyles on the same character is fun. That type of variation can lead to player retention.

It is all very easy.

Play a tank, do less damage. Get over it.
Play a dps, do lot of damage, but can;t do anything but damage. Get over it.
Play Healer, do less damage. Get over it.

Choose a role stick to it. I am levelling a vanguard tank specced with my healer as companion. It takes not long to kill enemies. I also levelled an imperial sniper whit which I killed the enemies faster but I could not adapt easily to unforeseen situation ( like accidenlty pulling 2 groups = death) With my vanguard I can kill those 2 groups easily.

It are the choices you make when you take a specific role. Let people roll between roles like olololololololol 1 mouse click is not right.

People who cry about a dual spec or otherwise go to wow, there you get everything for free. Don't mess up a good game, because you are too lazy to play straight or you can't stick to a choice.

regards.

So your argument against dual spec is because I'm too lazy to make a choice?
