What about glyphs. I know there are plans to let characters hold two talent trees to switch from but if that is the case, shouldn't there also be a way to carry a pvp and pve, resto and dps, tank and dps set of glyphs without having to purchase new ones to be at the top of your game in both areas.

I myself being main spec ele shaman (resto till my guild gets more healers for naxx) cannot function without glyph of flame shock, and in order to be a good healer i had to replace all my current glyphs wit healing glyphs. when i switch back to ele I'll have to do the same or else I would useless as elemental.

If a dual glyph system isn't implemented with the dual spec, than there really wouln't be much of a point.

they've said more than once they wont release Duel Specs without making it switching your glyphs as well as your talents

You must be new around here if you think blizzard rushes. They might do a bad job of things, but they do that bad job at a slow and steady pace.

Also you won't even have to change your actionbars.

Subtlety is a thing for philosophy, not combat. If you're going to kill someone, you might as well kill them a whole lot.

It will swap your talents, glyphs and the position of buttons on your action bars.

Note you actually have to buy the glyphs for both specs first.

then i could swap to arms whenever i see a pally...or warlock >.>

If the tank dies, it's the healers fault.
If the healer dies, it's the tanks fault.
If anyone else dies, it's their own fault.

That would be cool, but I fear what hybrids could do with this ability.

You mean the same thing they can do anyway just taking 5 minutes and 50 gold less?

I'd just like to ask when this is coming out. I am really looking forward to this feature. As it stands now I could spec Prot for PvE, and have nothing to do outside of that. I could spec Ret for PvP, and take hours for me to find an instance group. (I have enough healer friends.)

Q u o t e:

They understand how you cannot balance a class with a limited resource against classes with infinite resources over variable fight lengths.

I would be very happy with just the spec swap and they could implement the bars glyph thing later. The bar thing isn't even a problem really.

Every class has multiple talent trees. This doesn't benefit hybrids only. I'd like to know how Beast Mastery hunters would be effected by this. Say you're BM, and you switch to your other dual spec, what happens to the exotic pet?

Is it still the plan to be allowed to swap specs in dungeons and raids?

If so, any other info about the difference in gold cost associated with in-town swapping and outside of town?

Not being able to do it outside of town without a gold cost defeats the purpose of the entire mechanic.
