Any news on Dual Speccing yet? It is becoming very frustrating to switch a few points because I like to build differently for pvp / pve. I go in tank spec for both but in pvp I require a few points spent differently. I can't re spec every time I switch between pvp and pve it is costing too much

You can even make it so I have to go back to the trainer to do it, that would be fine with me. Dual spec just gives you more possible healers and tanks running around, so I really don't see a downside.

And you 10 year old trolls can shove your choices have consequences crap, this game is full of choices, go make some.

I don't think they have mentioned anything yet but as far as MMOs go.. Never say Never

Personally I hope they never bring dual speccing .. too much "easy mode" in MMOs lately

I say... pick a class, advanced class and spec then learn to play it well - no one can mess with you.

5 to 10 points here instead of there will NOT be game changing and if you think it will be, then you are not as good a player as you think you are
Bioware, you did a fantastic job!! Please don't ruin the game making it easy mode with mods and add on capabilities.

Dual spec is needed. I'm completely split between being tank and dps. If I go tank spec I'm bordeline useless in warzones, while if I go dps spec pve becomes a true hassle.

With that said, having dual spec also helps in the lfg area so damn much it is without doubt, a neccessity.

Have to disagree here, surely a good player will spec to maximize efficiency based on the given situation and PvP and PvE are two entirely different beasts. For PvP there are more efficiant uses of points that going 31 deep into my tank spec. Where as for PvE I feel that at least 31 points are needed to be the most effective tank I can be.

"quality of life", this makes me laugh every time.

Dual Speccing would be really useful, I enjoy PvE a lot, however it would be nice to have a PvP spec for when I went and felt like having a bit relaxed fun with friends.

I don't see how it is casual(nor do i think casual is bad) , it is a quality of life thing- some people seem to believe that time spent= hardcore

Really it should be based on the level of achievement, having 2 characters one for PvP and one for PvE doesnt show anything except that another hobby may be in need.

and why does everybody want to change the games they want to be exactly like WOW.

how about this... live with the game... learn to adapt to the way the game is. Stop trying to change every aspect of teh game.

we need arenas.

we need mods

we need macros

we need dual spec

we need this

we need that...

you dont need anything.....

learn to play with what you got. you want to respec... nobody is stopping you.. STOP BEING LAZY... run to the trainer and change your spec....

holy cow such lazy gamers.

I find it offensive that some of you label dualspec as a casuals way of cooping with the game.

Ive been successfully running as a dps/healer since dualspec was introduced into wow (even longer actually) and im far from what you would normally brand as a casual player.

The thing is that if you have the option to change your spec (i agree with keeping this within the choosen AC) and be competitive you can switch around people more easily say one healer is sick or your bringing in a new trialist to your ops group.

Even if you suck at your second spec as it stands now you cant really try it out (and hopefully improve) without running back to the fleet respec and run aaaaaall the way back to where you were.

Yes, wow showed us that theres an easier way to handle this and i for one think dualspec is a great way of opening up for more tanks and healers.

Nope, dual spec is a horrible idea, a crutch for people who can't pick one idea and stick with it.
