Seeing that were getting dual spec, wouldn't it be a good idea if your ret, to use prot as ur off spec since dont they pretty much use the same gear?

Do you mean that Ret and Holy uses the same kind of gear, then?
You are not getting it yet, so don't be happy with a dead bird too soon...Originally Posted by Sprite
Blizzard *ONLY* stated that they are interrested in alike features and they will have a serious look at it, and may get working on it at some point.
They never said it will be implemented anywhere near soon, so this topic is highly pre-mature
Prot and Ret don't use the same gear.
DPS plate is not the same as tanking plate. Not by a longshot.
I plan on have two ret specs. One for my raiding guild (currently on mu'ru) and one for pvp. Also, our guilds prot pally will have Heart of the crusader in wotlk. One spec could have HotC if our prot pally isn't there and another that has 3 extra points i can put into something.
On the contrary, Blizzard just released the following, posted here at MMO-Champion:Originally Posted by Somnio
"The dual-spec feature will shine more light on talent design (more on that at Blizzcon)"
So it is fair to assume that we will be seeing some type of dual-spec feature in the near future, the details of which will be covered at Blizzcon. My guess is it will be somewhere between a very generous switch while out of combat, or a conservative 1 day cooldown. Either way, it's certain to cost the player something to swtich, be it gold or time. Perhaps it wont work in instances? Who knows? But it's confirmed in some form as far as I can gather from that breif statement.

That's pretty obvious they are introducing it at Blizzcon, it might not be in for the WOTLK release date but we are getting it.
And you obviously dont read news posts. Here, let me get you the link that shows that they are going to unveil it at blizzcon, and then you can start posting about things that you are actually up to date on.Originally Posted by Somnio

If you look at the time between other announced ideas and the moment they actually are being added to a PTR build, you will see that alone takes quite some time. Not even to mention it takes between PTR and Live.
But, who knows; maybe Blizzard *is* working hard to get this done at WotLK launh, or maybe in the first content patch after that. But the way I read it, it's not comming soon, so I don't get all too excited, just because a Blue post confirmed they are Looking into it.
It's all about how your read the post and how realistic you are, I guess:
-I don't assume they will implement it within months, so if they do, it can only surprise me in a good way.
-Others see something and get all worked up about it, just to post QQ-topics when it's not coming as soon as they hoped.
Let's wait at Blizzcon to see how far they really are with this idea, shall we?
Prot main spec, Holy off spec, that is if I ever get used to Holy as it is now... Judgementing to increase haste and casting holy shock and all that fun stuff is really turning into a nuisance as opposed to the simple healing... so it's debatable *shrug* but as my Paladin is my main raider I'll pick up the most wanted raid specs and leave my ret gear in my bank, especially now that I don't even need it to grind thanks to Prot being amazing.

Holy/Prot(Ret) for me.
Prot is definitely my main spec and I never want to heal so Ret will be my 2nd.
But what about Prot PvE and Prot PvP???Originally Posted by Lumidar
