    Will duel spec-ing really be impossible for SL? Or do you think that you will be able to do it once the level cap increases?

    Since there seem to be no stat requirements for the gear and they are class specific, nope, no room for dual spec-ing.

    Hard to imagine dual spec-ing all three classes still being ranged though

    Not really worried, there's way more equipment slots so there should be more room for customization

    Star Legends is a different game. You can't approach it expecting things to work like Pocket Legends. Dual speccing wasn't really a feature of Pocket Legends anyways, it's just something players did on their own. It's like denying in DOTA. It was never an intended game mechanic, but someone figured out you can do it and it became a common practice.

    When you go into Star Legends, don't try to apply Pocket Legends logic. Go into it with an open mind and discover the new environment.

    I think dual specing is ridiculous IMHO. It makes your skills awful and it breaks the game. With 139 dex and 140 str youre better off doing ancient swamps.

    I was referring to the swamps in pocket legends.

    Oh, I never knew that their wasn't a stat requirement. As for the ranged weapons, I'm still hoping they add some melee weapons in future updates!

    ok, just so I understand that you're talking about something you know nothing about. Your post makes "sense" now. Thanks for clarifying!

    For gods sake, do NOT mention dual specing in SL ever!

    If there are no stat requirements, cant somebody get gear obtained in a higher level zone transfer it over to a level 2 and use it to dominate?

    No. There are level requirements and class requirements. No stat requirements. They're separate things.

    There is no telling for sure. The game is still in beta, so they might have changes planned for some things. I have seen some people with mixed stats. There was one particular operative that had everything equal. Not sure how that would work, but people are willing to try things out. I know a commando with equal dex/str and a cannon (their unique weapon that does splash damage to nearby enemies) can easily wipe out groups. The dex helps prevent the frequent misses, and more than makes up for the damage.

    I dont like dual speccing but i like making hybrids spices it up different gameplay like tank and healer makes up a paladin style (thats why str mage are called pallys or paladin) or a dagger bear or talon bear and its really interesting
    When there is too much

    Don't forget

    Everybody who says dual spec-ing sucks is a noob mage or bird who know nothing about tanks in pl.
    It was fun while it lasted.

    Please explain me how dual speccing a tank is ridiculous. You'd rather go pure str? Now THAT sounds ridiculous to me. This is why I think it's better:

    1. Pure str will give you a very low hit%. making many of your spells miss.
    2. Dual spec allow you to equip str gear when you need tanking. Your skill dmg compared to pure str is almost the same, BUT your skill hit% is way better and your auto attack does more dmg, due to the points in dex. All this while keeping your pure tanking abilities roughly the same as with full str.
    3. You can wear dex gear when killing a boss, farming in a strong group or going solo. Skill dmg and crit makes your tank help kill a boss/mobs way quicker as compared to any type of str bear. Ow yes, and you get ranged attacks on top of that too.

    These are the main reasons I think a dual spec bear is better than a pure str build. I'd love to hear your arguments against it


    And for all doubters of my rockstar status:

    I haven't tried commando yet, but for engie it seems you are better off sticking with int and operative dex. You CAN mix up your stats, but at this time it does not seem to benefit much.
