WoW so followed EQ

When everyone uses the same spec - is there a point of 'specs' existing?

The inherent flaw in the spec system is.... the spec system.

No I cared about the fact he was ignorant about how to play his class. It's like rolling an Enchanter in EQ and never using it to CC anything because he didn't know Enchanters could CC.

^ This is exactly why i tried to identify I was not flaming. I know nothing of this game, I really, again, was commenting on the spec system.

I think one of the things I really liked about AC was not that everyone used the same spec but that because you were able to choose your spec you could create much different characters by combining spec's in different ways.

Like in AC, there were four schools of magic, War, Item, Creature and Life and every mage used all four and pretty much every melee used three. The question was, how do you spec them and what other skills do you take?

Some Mages, specialized in War and Life and only trained Creature and Item. These were basically the DPS mages. Then there were others who would specialize in Creature and Magic Resist, so they could resist other mages and debuff their opponents into oblivion.
