Please allow dual spec or cap respec costs.

Please Lethality, we've had some good discussions - it's disappointing to see you being petty

This is caused by poorly designed talent trees, not by the ability to dual spec.

You do realize what you just said here right? all classes here SHOULD be jack of all trades. The bottom line should come down to skill and aptitude with that character, not an unfair advantage over other classes.

I'm assuming that given your statement you have not played any other MMO's. If you create a class that is better than any others, guess what? Everyone and their mother will roll that class. Do you not see a problem there? 6 million BH's running around and no warriors, inquisitors, IA's?

It is a known fact that dps has a higher kill rate and will more than likely level faster than tank/healer specced players. In doing this, you create an army of dps players, as if that needed to be helped anyhow, and increase the shortage of players who are willing to respec every 10 seconds when someone needs a tank/healer for a FP or OPS that they need to run.

I imagine that most of the people against this are probably pure dps players. Before you start flaming, keep in mind I said MOST. I'm all for challenging game content, but slamming your keyboard against your head because you've spent 30 min in an area killing for a bonus mission and then watching some dps come in and destroy the entire room in 5 min leaving you 1 or 2 short of completing your mission is ridiculous. That's not challenging, that's just dumb. Dual spec didn't kill wow or any other MMO, mindless ************ about needless things will ultimately kill anything. And unless I"m mistaken, WoW is still alive.

Not every player is as hardcore as some of you. I understand you are just too leet for the game content and you want to fight NPC's with 100k health at lvl 1 with no companion while your character is naked. That's fine, you can do that, just leave me, and the rest of the tanks/healers out of your little reindeer games. If you don't like dual spec, don't use it. Something tells me you will though...

Very true and precisely why I posted that players should be voicing their desire for all talent trees to be viable and competitive, not asking for a workaround like dual-spec which sidesteps the problem.

Quite simply... I HATE it.

But I do enjoy PvP.

Your attitude ("your spec MATTERS(tm) - you MUST play it at all times!!!") really pisses me off. You want me to have this mystical bond to my character, and then tell me to roll a F#$%ing 2nd Scoundrel just to PvP?!?! Or to not play my Scoundrel at all in PvP?!? Because it's somehow "good" for the game if I can't participate in it on my character the way I want reasonably? (and I'm sorry, leveling up the costs for respecs are INSANE).

You like your one spec. You think it's teh awesomez! Great, play it, keep it... just don't force it on me

I have been a tank/healer in every MMO I have played. From what I understand, those against Dual Spec would prefer that all of us tanks/healers that want to dual spec in order to pvp/pve with something different, just roll DPS. I'm sure that will be extremely helpful when everyone is having six hour waits because there isn't more than one or two tanks in the game.

I should not be punished because I am one of the FEW people that wants to play a very necessary roll. This is a Trinity MMO, tank, healer and DPS. DPS will ALWAYS be more numerous than healers, which are generally more numerous than tanks. Why would you want to discourage more people from tanking, and we're not just talking about bad/casual tanks. I LOVE to tank, but I also want to be able to experience the game in the same fun way that all the sheep that chose DPS get to experience it, not be stuck leveling in the slowest possible way.

Yes, I can group up with people and make sure that I never walk anywhere unless I have called three of my friends and gotten them to drop what they are doing and log in to help me, but that is a gimped leveling experience that you can compensate for. I guarantee that most of the DPS telling tanks/healers to just group up aren't spending EVERY moment of the game grouped. They are out killing things quickly and having a fun time leveling, and that is all we want.
