Classes reborn - six classes, eighteen specs, a new Templar and 432 talents
The class system is rebuilt at World of Warcraft depth. Every class now has three specs - tank, healer, support or damage - with nine-row talent trees, 51 points to spend across them and an auto-firing ultimate at the bottom of each. Meet the Templar, the holy bruiser who heals as it fights, and the Beast Mastery Ranger's companion beasts.
Three specs for every class
The old ten-node trees are gone. Every class now has three specs, each a full nine-row talent tree - 18 trees and 432 talents, every one with its own icon.
- 51 points at class level 50, spent in any of your three trees.
- Five points a row - the bottom row, the ultimate, needs 40 in that tree.
- Your main spec - the tree you've put the most into - sets your role. There are real tanks (Protection, Bloodbound, Oathkeeper) and healers (Soulbinder, Holy) now, alongside the damage and support specs.
- Eighteen ultimates, one per tree, each with its own animation and effects - Bladestorm, Deathblow, Cataclysm, Absolute Zero, Deadeye, Army of the Damned, Dancing Rune Weapon, Avatar of Light and more. They fire on their own, like your class resource.
The Templar
A new class: a holy warrior who fights in melee, wields the light, and heals as it hits. Holy Power builds five charges and casts Word of Glory on you and the most wounded ally. Spec into Holy to heal other players with a right-click Heal, into Crusader for a two-handed zealot, or into Oathkeeper to tank.
Beast Mastery and the Stable
Beast Mastery Rangers now fight beside a companion beast - 21 of them in seven families, each with its own trick, chosen in the new Stable. Take the ultimate, Call of the Wild, and a second beast joins the hunt.
Your old talents
Every point you had in the old trees has been refunded - open ::ctalents and spend them. From now on a full reset costs Dracma (1M, rising for repeated resets and falling back after three quiet days).
Everything - all eighteen specs and their ultimates - is in the Classes guide.
