I totally agree. Specs fall in and out of favor all the time. I don't think players should switch back and forth.

This is what is starting to make me dislike the game. In order to progress in end-game content, you have to be like everyone else.

@Mellorn I think it's easier to get into end-game content w/ a variety of specs now than it ever has been. While it's true there are specific raids looking for certain class/spec combinations, I can't say that I've seen as many raids recently asking for one specific build or what-have-you over all others. I do see them, but it's not like the old Onyxia raid days, where a veritable must-have list was trotted out to get in the door, taking hours to form groups. Plus, I've seen much less need for people having to trot off saying, "BRB respeccing!" If anything has gotten worse, it's that the game has moved too far in the opposite direction. Now, indicators like GS gets you in the door over just about any other consideration with many raid leaders. If anything has homogenized, it's the mindset of many raid leaders.

Homogenized?

Nooo, I like the ladies~

Tri? But... but... but... I want at least:
- My raiding bear spec
- My raiding cat spec
- My raiding moonkin spec
- My raiding tree spec
- My soloing spec
- My BG spec
- My arena spec

I mean... I'd settle for four (bear/cat/laserchicken/tree), but three just isn't enough ;-).
