Dual-Spec'ing--One for DPS, One for Tanking?

Post by Ganit

So, I've been debating leveling a druid. I love the idea of the class, but I hate healing. I don't mind tanking at all, however and so I was wondering if I could dual-spec with one tab for DPS and one tab for tanking. Is this possible?

I don't know enough about endgame druid to know whether gear specialization and talents would support this. Also, how do you imagine endgame guilds will receive this position I intend to take?

Of course it's possible to dual-spec tank/dps. Some of the gear you'll be able to share with both until you hit the raids but you'll eventually have 2 totally separate sets.

As to how guilds will receive you, if you're in a cool guild they'll take you as you are. If you're in a serious hardcore raiding guild they may require you to change one of your specs to healing depending on their raid configuration.

will also depend on what the guild needs/has lots of, if its got a lot of healers its probebly going to prefer having a Tank/dps

I'm currently specced hybrid feral/ raid dps boomkin, and i love it. :)

My feral spec has all thats needed to off tank just about anything, and in single tank fights, switch into kitty form and pump out some pretty decent dps.

now, i also specced Moonkin, so that if a fight favors casters, ie: KT, saph, eoe, i can switch to that form and lazerchicken the hell outta the boss.

i'm lucky enough to be in a guild where my GL knows that i hate healing, and that, well, i'm terrible at it, and theres always a prot warr, pally, or tanking DK that is willing to Main tank anyhow.

like the others have said, speak with your guilds raid leaders and arrange what specs they need you in.
