Players have long awaited the ability to switch between specializations with the casting of a simple spell. When this patch goes live, a player who spends the necessary gold can do so. Dual Specializations in WoW
Patch 3.1 for World of Warcraft gives players the ability to switch their character's
specialization by pressing a simple button. If the reader wants this expressed from the character's point of view, he will be able to cast a simple spell. The dual specialization ability has many players, including one of my Bright Hub co-workers, eagerly waiting for Patch 3.1 to go live.
The
new functionality will make it easier to find groups and make it easier for characters to switch to a specialization that better suits the character's current situation. People in the author's guild have leveled up as a holy paladin and a restoration shaman, but the healing talent trees increase the difficulty of gaining experience in solo play.
How World of Warcraft Players Can Gain the Dual Specialization Ability
The author of the Spooncraft blog reported that players originally needed a Lexicon of Power to gain use of dual specialization. The current patch notes and WoW Insider do not state that inscriptions will be required. A World of Warcraft character can gain the knowledge of how to possess two different specializations at a time by talking to a non-player character found throughout the major cities of Azeroth and Draenor. Only level 80 players will be able to learn this spell once the ability is implemented on
the live World of Warcraft servers.
Knowledge may be power, but such power does not come without a price. The cost to gain this ability will be 1,000 gold. Many World of Warcraft bloggers have expressed frustration at Blizzard for implementing such a useful ability as yet another money sink. A Blizzard spokesman responded to this concern by issuing a statement saying that not every player needs the ability to switch between specializations. Whether or not the new ability has been implemented as a money sink, the daily quests make it easy for high level players to get the gold they need to train dual specialization.
Benefits of Dual Specialization
The Hybrid classes, such as the shaman, druid, death knight, and paladin benefit from this change the most as the player can switch to a more needed group or raid role, but it can be useful to every class. Giving classes capable of fulfilling
more than one key role the ability to do so will make it easier to fill the needed roles in a group. Raiding characters will be able to switch to a damage per second talent tree when the player does not need to be the tank or healer. What World of Warcraft
player has not had a group fall apart because he could not find a healer or a tank?
