Hunter Interest In Dual Spec
Am I the only person playing a Hunter who doesn’t much see the excitement over Dual Spec? Don’t get me wrong. I think it’s absolutely awesome for people playing classes with hybrid talent trees (like my Priest, for instance) but on my Hunter I just don’t see the point or can’t get overly excited by the new system.
I remember hearing BRK talk about this during one of his appearances on the WoW Insider show a few weeks ago. His basic point was that it will only be useful to Hunters as a means of quickly testing switching to another spec on a full-time basis. To him Dual Spec sounded like an easier way to test things out on the training dummies.
Has anyone else thought of a use for Hunters with Dual Specs?
Edit: PvP is obviously a huge reason for Hunter Dual Specs… as has been pointed out to me twice already in the comments. When I wrote this post I was thinking in my mind more about PvE for some reason so I apologize for the glaring omission of something as obvious as battlegrounds and arenas.

Well, besides having one spec for PvE and the other for PvP… nope I can’t really think of anything. =/

Ugh, PvP. I wish I would’ve thought a bit more before writing this post. Haha. Oh well.

For some people, like Rilgon from SES, they will make a grinding/soloing spec and a Raid spec, which is a great idea. Saves time and money.
Also, if a certain boss isn’t favourable for a certain spec, you can switch to another.
I’ll be using it for PvP mostly, but I can’t deny the possibility of either of those options, either.

The idea of solo and Raid specs is interesting to me. I’m not much of a Raider (truth be told, I’m not one at all really) so that’s a side of things I would have never considered.

I’m gonna be using it for main tanking instances and dps. Both will still be BM, but with widely different talents used.

There is a huge use for Hunters with dual spec in regards to PvP. A PvE Survival build is very different to a PvP Survival build. The inclusion of Scatter Shot, Aimed Shot, and other talents. PvP glyphs are also very different.
It will save me just as much gold as the next person when I want to step into a BG or Arena with the optimal spec.
