Default Proposal: Dual spec

Well I think its time to make this one resurface.

I really would like to see a dual option in AOC. There are several reasosn why this would be a very helpfull addition, including:

Being able to be more specific for both PvE and PvP without having to use big amounts of gold in the process.

Being able to be more specific in certain encounters, or spec for different roles for more viability, both in PvE and PvP.

I dont see why people should be limited in their abilities just because they favor one playstyle over another. Just because I like to PvE, it doesnt mean I shouldnt be able to quick and nicely get a more PvP spec ready.

Also in regards to raids in example, there are fights where it seems specific directions will benefit more than just using a general raid spec.

Example, Favored of Louhi. most peopel can make a more or less geenrall all around spec up until this fight, but then you get hit with this boss, which relies solely on protection and to some extent mana drain. For many speccing for this will not be in liune of their geenral spec, and thus often end up speccing for one fight alone. I do not see this as being feasible, and with a dual spec option at least we can choose to have a second spec to enable us to be more specific if we so wish to.

As a function I would liek to see it along the line of swapping weapons, so you use a shortkey, and your entire UI changes base don how you set it up.

So each spec should be saved with its own UI setting(Abilitites in which slots etc).

Ofc it should only be possible to swap out of combat.

I really hope this is something FunCom is considering, as it could help to overcome some of the perceived inbalances in this game.

many classes have to choose either pvp or pve spec... and most of ppl play both pve and pvp, so its retarded at best atm.


please, either make all feat trees viable in pvp and pve, or keep the current situation and give us option to save two specs, and switch between them (maybe add an option to feat-respec npc?).

Some classes do not lend themselves as well to hybrid pve/pvp specs as others.

I'd like to use different builds for raiding and playing solo but it's not viable at the moment.

Not really a big fan of the whole dual-spec thing to be honest. I can see that some people may have certain needs in that respect I can't help feeling that I would rather have more pvp content, more storage and optimizations long before they even start thinking about that.

Is that just me?

I dont think you can compare the amount of work it takes to make new PvP content and giving us a dual specc.....

please do NOT take this as a suggestion instead of Bori/seiege changes, cross server minigames or class balance.

This suggestion is a supplement, to give everyone the possibility to reach out in 2 directions, instead of using gold and more gold on refeating.

And no, I do not want this to be done the WoW way, where you need to pay, yet again, isnane gold amounts to get it.

it should be an option everyone gets for free.

When FC decides to make some classes pretty clear cut between PvP/PvE tress, and make encounters/situations where you simply gain so much more by going a certain direction(Which doesnt give beenfits anywhere else), then at least give us the possiblity to have 2 specs.

So not only would you like the system that WoW has, but you also want it for free? I would think that such a system should at least cost the person something, be it a quest, items or gold. You are after all becoming something more than an ordinary character.

Anyhow, my point was that I find this kind of thing to be of too little value compared to some of the things I mentioned. And if you think that you can get it without giving up something else, or at least push it back... You're in for a surprise.

My point still stands though. I think this is a bit too much "hold my hand" for my taste. In WoW the system was introduced because for example raid-healers and -tanks where useless in pvp if they also raided. That is not the case here.
