Dual Spec Ghostcrawler post

Here's the blue post regarding what DEV is trying to achieve with Dual Spec:

Thanks for the update, Dia.

Drums have actually been reworked in the last build. The tooltip now includes a line to the tune of, "Does not effect players level 80 or above."

Thats because there are level 80 drums you use instead.

Speaking as someone who did respec up to four times a night just for raiding, this is awesome.

Really looking forward to it.

I think this will be pretty sweet given that it not only adds to raid flexibility, but also allows you to have a nice change of pace. I know there's times I spec Ret just to do dailies or run a 5-man occasionally just to change things up. Totally looking forward to this.

If you respec for a change of pace, to do dailies, 5 man or pvp then I feel you should be 'charged' in some way - the current way of paying for respecs seems to work.

If you respec between boss fights in the same raid instance because of different requirements in raid composition dictated by the encounter design then you have an argument for free on-the-fly respecs.

However
It is my opninion that Blizzard are picking the wrong path to rectify this issue. I would be much happier if they designed the raid instance so that it was expected that you finished the raid with the same people in the same specs that you started with. Designing an instance that requires, say, 4 tanks and 7 healers on one fight and then 1 tank and 10 healers on the next is a failure in design in my eyes, and Blizzard are taking the easy way out by allowing dual specs.

What will be next? tri-specs so we can be healer one fight, tank the next and dps the 3rd?

Sorry, but by allowing this it only makes for a much better game experience over all for the majority of players.

It also allows Blizzard much more flexibility in raid and dungeon design.

Putting restrictions on it makes absolutely no sense, at least the ones people are recommending.

Fortunately for us, Blizzard seems to be on the side of the majority of players on this issue.
