MMO-Champion BlueTracker - What ever happened to spec switching?

2008-10-02 20:36:58

I remember seeing you claim you would check it out. Just wondering what has gone down with it. Havent heard anything from you guys(The Devs) in a while.

To refresh, I'm talking about the ability to switch between 2 set specs for little, or no, cash comparatively. Like, take a prime example, a guild's MT warrior. He can switch between his arms spec for PvP, and his Prot spec for PvE, for say 10 or 15 gold. But has to pay the full 50 is he wants to edit either of these specs.

Just curious :3

We're defintiely pursuing the ability to switch specs. The details are still being debated internally but we do have plans that would allow for players to switch between specs.

Q u o t e:
I think it fell by the wayside with the new mentality of every spec must be viable in pve/pvp/soloing.

Whether or not that goal has been achieved is a different thread...

We want every spec to be viable, as you say. But the truth is, in end game raiding or end game PvP (Arena in particular), there is a big difference between "viable" and "the best". Players will always perceive certain specs to be better than others in end game activities and it would be misleading to imply that all specs are going to be universally ideal for all situations. But viable is a different story.

Q u o t e:

I imagine by this stage we wouldn't see it until a patch after release?

Most likely in a patch but it's not too far off.
