Will you try to make a "bad" spec viable?

[RealRevChris]

Some of the specs in Vanilla were generally agreed to be pretty bad. Now we have a lot more knowledge & tools to help us out. That said, will you try out one of these specs & attempt to make them work? Who knows what will happen this time around. If I missed one, tell us about it below.

No.
I can forgive, and felt empathy, for Hybrid players in the past. When they were bright eyed new players who signed up to be the shining crusader, or the shapeshifting badass druid.
They had an excuse to try and prove to everyone that Feral/Enhance/etc could be viable with consumable X and gearpiece Y. They didn't pick their classes to be healbots. But endgame forced you to.

But if you go and try to make these specs "work" 15 years after the fact, then you're in for a bad time. The game is pretty much solved. You're only setting yourself up for dissapointment in the end.

Back then you actually had more freedom with addons and macros so if you couldnt make a spec viable back then there is a big risk you wont now.

[Exkrementor]

What about all the other useless specs? Enhancement, Elemental, disciplin, beastmaster, arms, arcane, sub.

Why would you ever play a spec when classic lets you triple dip?

[crakerjack]

I'd vote but you didn't put shamans up there.

[Ninjaturtle]

I wont have the time to raid since I work nights but I will definitely try to make Enhance work. With Pvp and dungeons my main focus no spec is really worthless. I seriously can't wait for some good old meatgrinder AV pvp battles.

[Tarx]

I would make the enhancement shaman . Because I really like the play style .

[Natrii]

Rolling Priest hands down. Shadow is not bad, but they have a 1 raid limit. They are god mode pvp with gear(1v1). I will want to run as shadow, but may end up ruining the disc/shadowweaving spec.

[Volitar]

Survival isn't bad and it's not the melee version you are thinking of. With really really good gear it can actually pull ahead of Marksmen thanks to Lightning Reflexes.

Also Spriest are monsters in PVP.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

I’ll be playing ret and Mabye Prot pally but I don’t plan on doing much outside of world content and the odd dungeon.

[roboscorcher]

I have always played Ret and Holy paladins. I will do my best to play Ret all the way to 60, but I will probably cave at some point and switch to Holy.

[Livnthedream]

I would make the enhancement shaman . Because I really like the play style .

Auto attacking while praying for windfury procs? Eventually getting Stormstrike on an 8 sec timer?

[Khaza-R]

None of these specs are bad. People just don't seem to grasp that Vanilla wasn't designed with every talent tree enabling you to raid the most effectively. Some were meant for leveling or PvP.

[Alvito]

You need to do what you enjoy, if not what's the point? Now what people enjoy along with why, how they enjoy things really matters. If you really only like a spec but you die all the time in pvp or can't do any pve as a result I would imagine you start to hate the game.

[Dundebuns]

I tried in vanilla, I wont make the same mistake in classic.

[Gasparde]

We'll probably get sims 1 week after launch and anyone who's not playing the top 3 specs will never see a high level dungeon.
So nope, not gonna bother wasting my time after 15 years of experience in how this community treats anything that isn't brought to the mdi or method's WF streams.

Survival is the #1 dps tree for Hunters once they're geared enough.
