The way vanilla was designed, you get most of your class’s toolkit as baseline. Specs make you more efficient at that role and give you some extras. It’s not like retail where you have to choose a spec to access those spells. As such, you don’t have to be spec’d healer to heal until end game, and even then, at least for priests, you can solo shit just fine for the last few levels while spec’d holy. I’m not for or against this. I’m not even gonna play the game. Just throwing my two cents out there. I raided through all of classic with only like three respecs. One from shadow to holy around the 50s, another for the benediction quest and the third to go back to my original holy talents
