WoW War Within: Best Hero Talents for Every Spec

Hero Talents will be a very important part of The War Within so it's important to get to know them better early on. They will give WoW players some extra boosts for each class specialization. In this article, you will find a simple and short listing of the best Hero Talent Trees for Each Spec in World of Warcraft The War Within.

What Are Hero Talents in The War Within?

Hero Talents become available to WoW TWW players once they reach level 71.  Each class has three distinct Hero Talent trees, except for Druids, who have four, and Demon Hunters, who have two. Players can select one Hero Talent tree to activate on their character, earning 1 talent point per level until they reach level 80.

All Hero Talent trees start with a "keystone" talent and end with a "capstone" talent, which is the most powerful node and it builds upon the tree’s central themes. Don't worry about picking and choosing the correct node, as you'll unlock all of them by level 80.

• Tip: Getting to the capstone as quickly as you can is advised.
