Hero talents
Hero talents become available at level 71. They can be changed at any time outside of combat, except during a PvP match or Mythic+ dungeon. A talented ability cannot be changed while it is on cooldown.
A new point is gained at each level, so that every talent node can be unlocked at level 80.
PvP talents
PvP talents become available at level 20. Up to 3 PvP talents may be active at any given time (with additional slots becoming available at levels 30 and 40).
These talents are active in the open world with War Mode turned on, as well as during instanced PvP. They have no effect in dungeons and raids.

They can be removed at any time outside of combat using [Vanishing Powder] (level 80 and lower) or the [Dust of Disappearance] (level 81 and higher).
