Is it 30 now? Thanks for catching me on that, I just double checked.


Yup, I sit corrected, level 30.


Sp, at level 30, you talk to your trainer, which allows you to get an additional spec for 10g as if you were a separate character. (e.g. you end up with basically 2 toons in one character.)


You "activate" the 2nd talent spec of your class, train your talent points, and have a whole new set of quickbars to set up for that spec. You cannot change talent specs while in combat. And if you are a mana user, this will take a fair amount of mana (sometimes almost a whole mana bar) to do.


There is an option in your character paperdoll window that lets you swap out your gear set as well. (You have an ability to keep a second set of gear in your backpack and define it as your tanking gear, and save a second set of gear that you designate for healing.) It's just an easier way to push one key and have it equip your gear for you without you doing it piece by piece.

Oh wow - that sounds utterly fantastic.

So I can essentially gear up for two characters and switch between them with a button? Bravo Blizzard, that def makes the game more attractive for me.


I have a 63 Paladin gathering dust I just realized, and I may try and experience the end game content with him and roll up something fun to experience the new low lvl content.

Don't get dual spec'ing confused with just having talent points spent ini multiple trees. You do have to have 41? points spent in one tree before you can branch into a second tree.


Dual spec'ing is the ability to have two separate spec's. So take a Paladin as an example you can have your Prot spec pally to tank, but if your guild is short a healer, your 'dual' spec could be in holy. You'd just 'activate' your holy spec and it switches over for you, even changes your hotkeys and everything.

WoW now is the most casual game i have ever played. Its perfect if you just want to play every once in while and you will still feel you have something accomplished.

Every class is good, you can solo easy your way to 85 (thanks to dual spec) and with the dungeon finder (puts you in random balanced groups) you will see heroic content without being part of a guild and forced to certain raid times. Sure there is still some raiding content for the hardcore guys but in the mid of 2011 there will be random groups doing that as well..... it was the case in WotLK.

If you expect good PvP hmmmm, you might be dissapointed but as a cusual player you will habe fun in PvP, no matter what...

Thats the success of Blizzards WoW, attract everyone besides the hardcore pvp guys....
