Specialist System in 3.0

[ZephyrZ]

It's definitely not what I had predicted earlier, but this is a substantial departure from what was said in previous interviews where they had said new recipes would be linked to the Specialist system (which they are NOT saying here). What it sounds like is for classes you are not specialized in, it'll be about what we are used to in terms of hardcore crafting rotations needing all the cross class skills. The Specialist system will give skills powerful enough to make up for not having all the cross class skills.

It was never said specialist was linked to actual recipes, that was nothing more than an assumption others made. It also wasn't mentioned this time, so it may or may not be true. Means that it is still worth leveling at least one alt to 50. This seems a lot like everyone will have let's say 12 available cross class skills and 3 available specialist skills. Meaning specialist is mainly used to give more available options when it comes towards crafting rotations.
