Does WoW Classic Season of Discovery have dual spec?

Season of Discovery looks and feels like World of Warcraft Classic, but there are major changes to levels, end-game content, and features. There’s been some talk around dual specs, and it probably left you wondering if it’s in the game.

Dual spec, introduced in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, allows you to have two specs you can easily swap between, and at the start of the third phase of SoD, this feature has finally been added to the seasonal version of the game.

Dual spec changes how your action bars look and resets your resources but doesn’t influence your gear. The feature is useful for hybrid classes like Warrior, Shamans, and Priests that can either heal or tank but also dish out ridiculous amounts of damage with their DPS specs. 

Is dual spec in WoW Classic Season of Discovery?

Dual spec was added to WoW Classic Season of Discovery in the third phase. With the launch of phase three, a dual spec trainer named Grendag Brightbeard was added to the game. He’s located in Ironforge and Orgrimmar. 

The only requirements for unlocking dual specialization in WoW SoD are to be level 40 and to have at least 50 gold in your inventory at the ready. When encountering Grendag Brightbeard, you better have those two boxes checked, as they’re necessary for unlocking the feature. 

This means you could have two specs ready to go for any occasion. You can have one raiding spec and one for PvP or even one for the open-world content like quests and farming gold, and the other for raiding—it’s up to you. I already know my Shaman will have one Elemental and one Restoration spec, so I can head out into Azeroth without needing a DPS player to babysit me.

When was dual spec added to WoW Classic Season of Discovery?

Dual specialization was added to WoW Season of Discovery in phase three. This feature was originally never in the Classic version of WoW but was later added to the game in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Dual spec was a highly requested quality-of-life addition for Season of Discovery, and as of phase three, players have the opportunity to freely switch between two talent builds of their choice in SoD. 

This feature is useful for classes that can fill multiple roles and DPS players who want to freely switch between the types of damage their class can deal.
