The way I see it spec is just your character ' s current combat tactic . Like a mage would choose to cast only fire spells , not because they don ' t know how to use frost spells , but because fire spells simply have more synergy with fire . If the situation calls for it they might want to use frost to control the battlefield by freezing enemies , but then using fire magic at the same time would be counterproductive . Your character is presumably a master of the different specializations even if they favor one over the others they have the capacity to change their tactics based on the situation . <| sep |> Yes , it ' s a bizarre post . Being jarring quite different from trolling was rather the point . Would you have preferred a more mundanely acceptable post about how one should cut their hair short , bike instead of drive , and use only vinegar and baking soda for cleaning ? Am I not engaged with society ? I read and study all the time , and meet with real people facetoface daily , where we discuss a wide variety of topics that are of real importance to lives as opposed to the largely contrived and irrelevant daily news cycle . I ' m sorry if my post bothered you . I believe the proper response would be to downvote and carry on though , not to arrogantly label someone as mentally ill because they have differing opinions .
