Details About Revamped Talents Trees - Style of Nodes, Completing Talent Trees

Live Posted 2022/04/20 at 7:55 PM by Anshlun

Key points

Trees will mostly consist of be 1 point per node, with a few having 2-3 ranks

Nodes can be abilities or passives.

Passives can be effects previously found on Conduits, Artifacts, or Azerite

At max level, you can expect to be able to fill around 2/3 of the tree, roughly speaking

Blizzard would like to be able to share talent trees like outfits, but no concrete plans on that currently

Hello! We have seen a lot of questions about the talent system preview, here and in other feedback, and want to start answering what we can. Note that it’s still too early for a lot of specifics (including, we can’t post complete trees yet for people to peruse). There is still a lot to discuss about our approach and goals for the system.

Will they be the old style of talents? 1% gains here and there that you put 5 points into, or is each box only 1 point?

What percentage of the tree will be filled out at max level?You mentioned being able to save your builds to your character. It would be pretty awesome for a way to share those in the game between players. So someone could just load in someone else’s build and it’s filled in for them.

This is a feature we currently have listed as something we’d like to do, though it’s still too early to say anything more."

The feature is fundamentally incomplete without this and it's something that should be considered mandatory before launch.Comment by reboundWe’re still experimenting quite a bit with drafting trees, but currently the majority of nodes are 1 point, with some 2-3.Comment by Nethuc"You mentioned being able to save your builds to your character.

Now u got my gazeComment by Azjolarakit would be cool if someone asked how this would work on surv hunter.

And if the fact that now they will share TP with both, other specs will change it or allow a more caster playstyle. while still keeping the ability to be melee for the people who enjoy it.

It would be cool to get to choose between the active abilities of the Artifact weapons, and the covenants, even if one is better than the oothers, a few artifcat abilities are cool, and would be nice to have back, like the Surv hunter Carving ability. or the Tyr's hand one.

That way, talents could be more like a celebreation of the different iterations of the classes instead of mere 1% power increases.

It would be fun to have the choice to select wich "ultimate" from other expacs to use, for fantasy purposes. Like being able to pick Meta for demonology locks, if they want to recover some of that old gameplay. and stuff likr thatComment by Azjolarak"You mentioned being able to save your builds to your character.
