Thoughts On: Discipline of the Hand - Specialists. Eliminate

[Covenant]

Why limit specialists to 3 per week with tome buy? Before I understood the logic of "locking in your specialists", but you can switch ever week so what's the points?

I'm much rather have you progress through crafter quest till you reach lvl 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 AND UNLOCK specialist for each crafter at one of those points and/or skills at those points.

....this topic is literally the first time I've thought of Specialists in actual months if not years LMAO, yeah, why on earth are they in the game and why are they limited?

Specialist are in the game to screw up your finally-tuned macro by making it finish early.

originally they were put in the game to limit omnicrafters and to force people converse with other needed specialists.
then they added other actions to "help" people complete crafts who didn't want to level all the other crafting classes (this was before when cross class skills were a thing still for DoH)
but the specialist actions were a little too RNG and it was just easier overall to have everything to cap.
nowadays it's just used for minor stat boosts and to gatekeep some recipes from the latest patch.

Specialists need removing, IMO.

They fully committed to them in HW with their initial release and in SB by maintaining a full suite of abilities behind them. Which seemingly the community hasn't liked, so they've 'slowly' been reduced to this, whilst maintaining the same restriction.

They either need to fully commit to the system again, or they need to remove it.
