OctoWow - Forums

Hello,

I have two questions regarding upcoming or planned systems:

Is there any plan to introduce a Dual Spec system in OctoWoW?
It would greatly improve class flexibility, especially for hybrid roles like Paladins or Druids.
Are there any plans for a racial shift or racial customization system in the future?
For example, allowing players to change racial traits or swap racials while keeping their character race.

I did not find any information about these systems in the current announcements or development posts, so I would appreciate any clarification from the team.

Thank you!

To answer your questions:

Dual spec is already in game, or rather you can do up to five specs iirc. You get the item either from the donation shop or for 350g from a goblin in Stranglethorn (every additional spec costs 100g).

For switching racials, this will never be a thing here since it goes fully against the classic philosophy.

That's not a racial then

Tauren Priests are also somewhat against the original Classic philosophy, yet they are playable here, so I thought racials might be considered in a similar way. But never mind.


One more question regarding Dual Spec: when switching between specs, do the action bars and skill placements get saved separately for each specialization like in WotLK, or do you have to set up your bars again every time you switch specs?

In TWoW, you had to reset them up only if the abilities in the spec were assigned via talent points. For example, if you were swapping from Frost to Fire trees as a Mage and you had Icicles allocated, when swapping back from Fire to Frost then you had to put Icicles back on your bar. Abilities that are spec-agnostic would stay in the same place on your bar when swapping between specs.

On Turtle WoW I played a Paladin with all three specs as well, and having to constantly rearrange the action bars every time you swap is honestly pretty annoying.

I don’t have any official information that the developers are planning to change this system. As far as I know, Turtle WoW still follows the classic-style behavior where action bars are tied to abilities you place manually, and spec swapping doesn’t fully preserve layouts for everything.

If they do change it, it would most likely be announced in their patch notes or on their forums/Discord first. It’s worth checking there, because QoL features like dual-spec or improved action bar saving sometimes get discussed, but nothing confirmed recently (at least up to what’s publicly known).

It's hillarious that ppl were manually fixing their actionbars
