Well, fatroguedorf and theguywhoownsyou have only proven that it’s very possible to make a juvenile ass of yourself on a comment board without actually contributing to a discussion. Bravo.

The plain and simple fact is, dual spec isn’t for everyone, and Blizzard didn’t intend for it to be so a pure DPS class could switch from one dps spec to another (outside of pve -> pvp). It WAS intended for healers with tank sets, or tanks with dps sets, etc.

It’s not a mandatory purchase, if you don’t need it there is no point in qq’ing about it.

xoxo Happy Earth Day.

Although I agree that this will be of MAJOR use to swap PvE vs PvP I think it’s pretty obvious from this post that what the author means is that for PvE focused players it gives a lot of classes the ability to serve different purposes while PvEing, but for rogues (and as pointed out other DPS ONLY classes) it doesn’t give us any advantage or multi-purpose during PvE.

That said I think the author could have been more clear.

What I’m seeing mostly though is that everyone now DPSes, every HEALER I know now DPSes on the side, so basically, as a PvE rogue, it kinda feels like everyone can do my job, but I can’t do anything else.

fortunately they can’t all do it as well… yet…

for real, go back to playing your death knight little kiddy. You obviously have nothing better to do than post crit walls of useless info.

The guy above me said it.. PVP

and if your response is “i dont pvp” i bet you stand in fires and shit too .. no situation awareness. quit wow scrub!

Lol, you’re kidding right? PVP spec PVE spec buddy. I respec 3 times a week to switch out. you can’t pvp in a pve spec because you dont have imp sap stealth or stealth speed or the burst dmg. and raiding pvp spec is just horrible. soooooo you fail.

Or hunters? Or mages? For pure dps classes the only benefit will be to avid PvPers who are also avid raiders and know better than to try to do either with a hybrid spec.

Still, I’d say that’s a nice benefit as it will no longer restrict some who raid during the week to pvp’ing only on weekends, due to the hassle of having to respec in one of Azeroth’z old cities. It could also lend to more experimentation in raid builds (especially since there are a slew of class changes coming out as well and will continue to be).
