Dual Spec level reduced to 40!!!!!

#0 - Feb. 24, 2009, 9:18 p.m.

"Dual specialization isn't something everyone needs. It's a perk we're adding into the game, and it's initially going to require an investment. If you can't afford dual specializations for 10 different characters, you might not actually need all 10 of your characters to be able to swap between two specializations on a whim.

With a single 5-second, out of combat cast, players level 40 or higher will instantly be able to swap between two different talent specializations, glyph sets, and action bar set-ups from virtually anywhere in the world.

That kind of convenience and versatility shouldn't be obtained with absolute triviality."

Is that a typo or did it actually get lowered to 40?????

/grabs popcorn and waits for confirmation.

/confirm

At least for now it's confirmed.

You can see from the interview a couple weeks ago to now it changed and so it could continue to change as we go through testing. Testing is weird.

Q u o t e:

And concerning the out of combat cast:

Does that there won't be a summonable lexicon of power, and if so, what's the cooldown on the "five second cast"?

Summonable lexicon is a maybe at this point, not really sure what you would need it for but we'll see how it goes.

No cooldown on the 5 second cast currently on the PTR, but it does drain things like mana, rage, etc.

Q u o t e:

Good point, not sure how a bran new 40 is going to come up with 1k gold. Even as it is 1k gold isnt exatcly chump change for an 80 considering every other gold sink there is. Right now it just sounds like a plan for people with low level alts

Having dool specs is somewhat complicated so a brand new player suddenly jumping into it could be a bit overwhelmed. When you are first learning how to use your difference specs they tend to be quite cheap and easy to jump between for a small amount of gold and (at least in my experience), players leveling up (and especially brand new players) aren't jumping between specs constantly. Veteran players are much more likely to do this and so the option is there for them at a fairly early level.
