Blizzard are already regretting the ease at which people are changing specialisations and glyphs on the fly, in Raids to suit the bosses. This is the kind of Micro management that Blizzard wants to eradicate from the game.<br /><br />I agree totally with you about the gear, and in particular, I am annoyed about the amount of junk I am required to carry around with characters - especially all the raw foods, and Special bags are just too inflexible in my opinion.<br /><br />Maybe you are right and class based gear is the way to go. I would be happy to have a token for each boss, and so many tokens make a Tier piece of your choosing. This will not happen because you currently get infrequent drops in LFR and Valor only awards one piece every other week. Blizzard wants to stem the speed in which we acquire gear, and then they give advice about swapping useless Justice for Honor, so that you can farm PvP gear to your hearts content.<br /><br />Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475673092257340904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003106972062679804.post-4570450259018636592013-05-08T18:13:01.449+01:002013-05-08T18:13:01.449+01:00Even if people have a tanking spec it would not me...Even if people have a tanking spec it would not mean they have tanking gear or tanking skill. I see what you mean however. My shaman's offspec is elemental now that I lost enhancement because I got sick and tired of gearing two sets of gear. <br /><br />I DPS in my healing gear, my priest does the same. My warrior, paladin druid, monk and DK use the same gear to tank and DPS in, even if they all are tanks.<br /><br />The biggest problem with dual spec and soon tri spec is not that people need to know how to play two things, they need to have the gear for it to pull it off effectively.<br /><br />People will just assume that my paladin has a healing spec, when even if it does thanks to tri spec I have no gear for it. Unless you want me healing in mostly greens and blues from last expansion that I need to sell off from my bank, which was the last time I healed with it.<br /><br />People will just assume that my shaman can go melee and not give a crap that I vendored off my agility gear and switched to elemental because I would rather have the bag space.<br /><br />With how horrible the gearing system is this expansion and the horrible, or should I say beyond horrible, drop rate of gear to begin with, gearing alts for a second spec is not worth the time and effort. <br /><br />So no matter what, tri spec will at best be for the people willing to gear for three sets when most are having a hard enough time keeping one up to snuff.<br /><br />I have no issue with my having all three specs on my hunter, as a matter of fact I am looking forward to that. All it is for me is a matter of some reforging basically as I switch and there is a mount for that. All DPS specs it is great for. Have all three rogue specs, all three lock specs, all three mage specs. Fine and dandy. Sure some gemming and enchanting might be different between the specs but not so much so that it would make a huge difference to the casual player. All three of those classes and their respective specs use the same type of gear, so that is why it is no big deal.<br /><br />And then imagine the raid leaders (of which I am one) that will have their raiders gearing for specs they do not want to play. I think our paladin should have a healing spec and so should our druid. Now they both have no excuse for not having one. I've even already informed them of such and told my healers they need to have an effective DPS offspec now that we will have other healers to rotate in depending on the fights. If they do not have an effective DPS spec and the others do not develop an effective healing set, I will have to replace them, all thanks to tri spec.<br /><br />If all gear was class specific and not spec specific I can see tri spec being embraced much more open armed by the community but as I see it right now all it is, is the game telling me now I have a third freaking set of gear to collect when I am still missing pieces from my main spec.
