Hero talent

Not to be confused with Hero class.

Hero Talents are a new system introduced in The War Within, intended to complement the existing talent system.

Each class has three hero talent trees (except for druids, which have four; and demon hunters, which have two), each one of which is shared by two specializations. Hero talent points are earned at every level starting at level 71, so that by level 80 every talent in the tree will be acquired.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]
