With 3.1 comes dual speccing – at a pretty hefty cost, however. What is it? Once you paid for the dual speccing….’talent’, I suppose I’d better call it, you will be able to switch between two different talent specifications at the click of a button.

So the patch notes are out and despite the fact they are, as ever at this early stage, very much provisional, let’s take a look at those affecting the warlock, shall we.
