Most players here either see specs as entirely gameplay or more of an adaptable thing about your character , and while I do somewhat agree , this DEFINITELY doesn ' t work for all classes . Take Rogues for instance . If a guy has been Outlaw for most of his life , it will be hard to adapt to the Subtlety lifestyle . They are almost polar opposites after all one is a p i r a t e h i g h waymanWarriorlitewithguns and the other is a ninja , focused on stealth and even amplifying his physical attacks with some Shadow magic . It ' s a similar thing with Priests Shadow and Holy are simply put different religions . Switching between one and the other would be extremely rare and would probably involve a spiritual journey or even psychological problems in the characters themselves . The way I see it , Hunters and to a lesser extent Warriors also have keen focus in their specializations . A BM Hunter for example has their pets etc , and though the old mechanics of feeding your pets etc are gone , that doesn ' t mean they aren ' t there in the background . As such , a Hunter with a focus on his pets will have to sacrifice a lot of time becoming closer to his animal companions . A Marksman would eschew this OTOH , training with bow and arrow and gun above all else . Archery is lifelong skill something that a Survival hunter might never touch in his life . As I alluded to above , the gap between specs is not as great for Warriors . For the most part , it is a tactical difference . Arms and Protection are simply different takes on combat , offensive and defensive . Two sides of the coin . While a novice warrior who has not yet mastered all weapons would probably focus on only one of these , a true master would be able to switch between offensive and defensive techniques on the spot . Blizzard ' s vision of Fury is a very different mindset compared to the others , however . No heed is given to defense , to selfpreservation there ' s only killing and slaughter . Such a grim combatant stands apart from his more composed peers . Talking as a Fury Warrior . I always envisioned my toon as a middleaged man who can ' t really stop fighting . I ' d say my dude probably embraces the above stuff about Fury to an extent , after Varian ' s death . I don ' t think it ' s a stretch to say that many warriors would probably see this expansion as their last war .
