Gold cost for switching specs

[Felfaadaern Darkterror]

They are removing Dual spec. Simple as that

lol - except for the part where we now get tripple and quadruple spec. But I guess it's harder to complain about when you put it that way. And where's the fun if you can't gripe in forums?

All we need now are some polls and posts about how this killed WoW and I'm not gonna play anymore.

Everything saves when you swap specs, just like it does on live with Duel spec. Action bars save, and so does talents. Sure we will see more tanks and healers but I would say most will be good enough to do a 5-man. On the Alpha most people playing tanks/healers never done it b4 and just testing the class out for bugs and had almost no issues.

If you queue for a dungeon before fixing bars for that spec ever than that person is a cunt and should be kicked from the group like one.

Problem is dual spec at least let you try out things FOR FREE and prepare the action bar to a comfortable setting. Now there is a prohibitive gold cost to jumping into your offspec and then back into the main. Its all about negative reinforcement.

I can imagine5 man guild groups just forming so people can make adjustments to their offspec without the gold cost.

Yes it does, respecializing your character should come at a cost. This is the case for pretty much for single rpg developed for the past 30 years.

50g = prohibitive gold cost??? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Instead lets just make whichever spec you choose at level 10 be your ONLY spec.

I have all healer classes at max level and plan to play at least 3 of them on a fairly regular basis in Legion. As healers.

But as much as I like healing dungeons and raids, I don't want to go outdoor quests or levelling or grinding as a healer spec, so I'll be respeccing to DPS pretty often on those characters. I hope this doesn't become some major gold sink and that this "progressive" cost has a cap.

So, as a Warlock I respec 6 times and change glyphs twice every time my guild runs HFC. I'm totally against this change, I don't think I should be given any reason to think twice about swapping to the best spec for each encounter.

It's a great change. The gold cost adds a bit of a meaning to the choice, and being able to have bars for every specialization (especially druid) is great.

[Nayami]

It's just an annoyance that shouldn't be there, as minor as it is. I don't see any point in it, it's too low to even serve as a gold sink so why is it even there? I'm really glad that we're getting bars saved for each specialisation though, one less addon to use.

That doesn't add any meaning at all.

Legion is a hyper version of WoD with a paint job.

Once more people go into the beta and see this trainwreck they will understand those that have been speaking out about this garbage for many months have been right.

It caps out around 70-ish gold but that can change with beta launch today.

Seriously? 60g translates into approximately $0.13 USD. That's 13 cents. You're telling us you value your 13 cents more than the time of four other players?

Yes. I value 0.01 over 29 other players their time means nothing to me. Im not some sort of communist. I already pay for the game. Why should I pay more? No cost.

What's the big fucking deal? Are you dead poor or something?

Good question.

how much gold you guys have that this is an issue for you? its not goin to affect the amount of tank/heals at all. it use to be like this before. wanted to respec? you had to pay, as long as i dont have to go all the way over to the trainer im happy.

[ComputerNerd]

Those going into content with one spec per role suffer from this less than those with two dps specs.
Anyone with a single dps spec can go into content with a given role and will always switch to a given spec.
Pure dps or those with more than one dps spec do not have that option.

It seems blizzard deem you having a dps spec as being good enough, regardless of whether it is the one you want to use in that content.

If blizzard are going to insist on keeping that, then in my view you should be able to queue with a spec when you have more than one in that role.

I hope they scrap that, given how it is a contradictory step backwards given the "all-specs" option.

[Nnyco]

doesnt matter if people have the gold for it, its extremly unfair for people who play two specs, specially after we had dual spec for good 6-7years

[Deleted]

From my personnal experience as a healer I doubt many characters are using offspec as it is.
Many dps that can tank or heal just refuse to do it in an instance so these ppl do not even get effected by this small fee.

Secondly you wont be respeccing all day long so paying a small fee will not effect your gold amount that much and from what I read if you dont respec for a while the cost will reduce over time.

But hey lets make it free and while we are at it make everything the vendor sells for free and the flightpaths for free because we are the heroes of Azeroth.

100 times this!

Btw...some tanks are arrogant and ignorant individuals and leave after the first wipe/critic. Atm im just switching to tank so we can go on without waiting another 30-40 minutes. After that change i will never do that again.

I'm sure one day Blizzard will cut you a freaking limb and you'll say you didn't need it...
