===Setting your specializations===
 
  +
<!-- Read http://www.wowpedia.org/Wowpedia:External_links before posting your links here.
Once you have purchased dual spec, there are now two icons on the top right of the talent pane, representing your Primary and Secondary talent builds. Utilizing a new interface option (Display -> Preview Talent Changes) you are able to preview and alter your new spec until you are happy with it.<ref name="new3_1uiupdates"/> When to your satisfaction, you are able to apply your new talent spec for each of your Primary and Secondary talent builds.

Select the secondary spec icon and activate the build. Now you can again configure talents, action bars, and glyphs.

===Switching between specializations===
 
Currently in the [[PTR]], there is no [[reagent]], [[cooldown]], or monetary cost to switch. Players will not be able to switch between specs during combat, in Battlegrounds (except during Preparation, before the battle begins), or in Arenas (no exception).<ref name="new3_1uiupdates"/>
 
 
Lexicons of Power will not be necessary for switching between saved talent specs and glyphs. Players will be able to switch between their chosen talents anywhere.<ref name="new3_1uiupdates"/>
 
 
Switching between talent specs will take 5 seconds, and all mana and resources will be reset to zero when doing so.<ref name="new3_1uiupdates"/>
 
 
To switch, pull up the talent pane, select the primary or secondary spec and activate the talents. Once the 5 second cast has completed, your glyphs, action bars, and talents have all be restored to your other specialization.
 
 
===Respec===
 
Even if you have purchased dual specialization, there is still a cost to [[respec]]. ''Switching'' between your specializations is free, but if you want to change one of your talent configurations after it is confirmed, you still pay the respec fee, and will require a class trainer. There is no fee to change your glyphs or your action bars - only if you wish to change the talents associated with a specialization.
 
 
To modify a specialization, find the appropriate [[class trainer]]. Be sure to the specialization pane you wish to respec is active, then purchase the respec from the trainer.<ref name="new3_1uiupdates"/> Now this specialization can be modified again.
 
 
===Glyphs===
 
Glyphs still require proximity to a [[Lexicon of Power]]. To set glyphs, first select the specialization (primary or secondary) and activate the specialization. Now any glyph changes you make will apply to this specialization. Changing glyphs, like action bars, are free to change and do not require the purchase of a respec. Inversely, respeccing will not modify any glyphs you have set to either specialization.
 
 
== Talent Dual Spec Q&amp;A with Ghostcrawler ==
 
With the next content patch, we will be introducing a number of additions and changes to the game. One new feature in the works is the ability to set up two separate sets of talents, or "dual spec". While the complete feature may not be immediately available in the [[Public Test Realms]] ([[PTR]]) and specifics are still liable to change, we wanted to go over some questions with Senior Game Designer Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street to find out more.

|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Ghostcrawler:'''||<span class="blizztext">Dual speccing is the ability to save two separate talent specs, glyphs, and action bars.</span><br/><br/>
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Nethaera:'''||Why are we allowing players to dual spec after all this time?
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Ghostcrawler:'''||<span class="blizztext">We really felt like this was a great way to increase the flexibility available to players and encourage them to take part in more aspects of the game. To use just one example, some players like to participate in both raids and Arenas, which is awesome behavior that we want to promote. But, there are some talents which are more useful in one part of the game than another. Currently, players have to pay respec costs and go through the process of setting up the desired talent spec and action bars whenever they switch.
 
 
The new system makes this a much more logical process, saving on time and cost and allowing players to easily move from one aspect of the game to another.</span><br/>
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Nethaera:'''||How will you be able to set up a dual spec?
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Ghostcrawler:'''||<span class="blizztext">Players will be able to visit their trainer and pay a one-time fee to be able to use it.</span><br/><br/>
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Nethaera:'''||Can I respec only one of my talent sets, or will I need to respec them both if I reset one?
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Ghostcrawler:'''||<span class="blizztext">When you reset your talents, it will look at the spec you currently have in use as the talent set you want to change.</span><br/><br/>
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Nethaera:'''||Will you be able to switch gear easily to match your spec?
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Ghostcrawler:'''||<span class="blizztext">At the same time we implement dual specs, we will also be setting up a gear system. The feature is called “[[Gear Manager]].” It can also be used to just swap weapons or trinkets or put on that tuxedo to strut around town. It will not automatically switch your gear when you change your talent spec, but it will allow for an easy gear change between them. The feature may not be fully functional immediately in the PTR, but we’ll have more information to share about it before too much longer.</span><br/><br/>
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Nethaera:'''||What about hunters? Often their pet talents are set up to match the talents of the hunter. Will they be able to switch their pet specs as well?
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Ghostcrawler:'''||<span class="blizztext">We will wipe the pet talents. However we are going to remove the respec cost for pet talents so that players won’t feel like they need to jump through an additional hoop to respec their pet. In addition, we are going to provide hunters a new core ability to let them remotely access their stable on a long cooldown. This way if their exotic pet heads off to the stable, they will be able to get a different pet. We hope to be able to discuss this new spell in more detail when we get a little further along.</span><br/><br/>
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Nethaera:'''||Will you be able to change your Glyphs as well?
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Ghostcrawler:'''||<span class="blizztext">Glyphs will be tied to each talent spec so that if you switch between them, so too will the Glyphs. You’ll notice the UI will have changed a little bit so that the Glyph panes show up alongside the Talent panes now that they are associated.</span><br/><br/>
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Nethaera:'''||What about hotbars? Will players be able to save them for the talent spec they’re running?
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Ghostcrawler:'''||<span class="blizztext">Yes, you will be able to save hotbars and use them with your talent specs. It just saves your bars at the same time as it saves the glyphs and talents. If you want to switch to your other action bar, you will need to change specs.</span><br/><br/>
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Nethaera:'''||Is there a way for players to choose their talents without them being saved? Currently, once you spend your talent point, it’s spent unless you pay the respec cost again.
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Ghostcrawler:'''||<span class="blizztext">With the dual spec feature, we are going to allow players who respec to configure all their talents before they get saved. They will be able to allocate the points, then choose if they want to use that as their spec, rather than needing to carefully diagram out their talents ahead of time. This will allow players a little more freedom when deciding on the talents they want to pick and avoid costly mistakes.</span><br/><br/>
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Nethaera:'''||Will players be confined to only setting up two specs?
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Ghostcrawler:'''||<span class="blizztext">We will be launching the feature with just two specs, but depending on how we feel it works out, we might consider additional specs in the future.</span><br/><br/>
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Nethaera:'''||When can players expect to try out dual specs?
 
|- valign="top"
 
|align="right"|'''Ghostcrawler:'''||<span class="blizztext">Players will be able to try out the dual spec system on the Public Test Realms when they are made available. This has been a pretty big project with a lot of people working toward making it a reality in the game. We’ll definitely be watching the feedback and looking for ways of making sure the system works the way we all envisioned it to.</span><br/><br/>
