InWorld of Warcraft: Classic, your character’s class talents are a bit more of a commitment when choosing them than they are in more modern versions of the game. If you wish to change your specialization or build, the only way to do so is to pay a class trainer to reset your talent points.

However, World of Warcraft: Classic’s Season of Discovery has introduced another game-changing feature that solves this inconvenience; Dual Specialization. With this feature that was originally added to the game in the Burning Crusade expansion, you can create two different talent load-outs on one character.

What Is Dual Specialization?

Dual Specializationlets a character have two different talent builds that they can switch between.

An example of this being useful is a hunter that mainly fights with theirranged weaponandMarksmanshiptalents, but finds it difficult to do so in PVP. Through Dual Specialization, that hunter can have amelee buildwithSurvival talentsthat they can change to should the need arise.

Learning how to use this useful feature isn’t as simple as going to your class trainer, though. To learn how to switch between your two chosen specializations or builds, you have toseek out a new face that has arrived in the cities of Ironforge and Orgrimmar.

Once you’ve learned Dual Specialization, you canonly switch your chosen load-outswhen out ofcombat.
