DoH need major changes just like battle classes

I know plenty who do, though perhaps most is too strong. I would say enough as it doesn't take many hardcore crafters to completely dominate. It's also why I suspect the devs abandoned recipe restrictions if they, indeed, have.

The other issue with Specialist is it doesn't really accomplish anything except to gate you. If they do return and I don't feel like leveling my alt, I'll just mass produce materials before switching. Only people who prefer just picking up and crafting are hindered by this system. I'll admit, locking the end product is far better than the mats to make it, especially when some required four Specialists, but I just don't see the value. It doesn't provide much identity when you just switch Specialist based on market demands. Today I'm a expert chef; tomorrow a blacksmith. The new Specialist abilities are actually fairly strong, albeit undervalued since recipes aren't at all challenging right now.
