Personalizing your character is what separates each character of the same class. During the early Beta Test, the character '''Talent''' system was very rough and Blizzard went back to the drawing board to make the system more intuitive by adding prerequisites to the Talent system. If you have played the Diablo series of games you'll be more than familiar with the idea of a skill tree and this is the new system Blizzard has employed for [[World of Warcraft]]'s Talent point assignment.

== Why have Talents? ==

== Description ==

Something evil is brewing in the forests of [[Teldrassil]]. Look long the hills to where the peaceful [[furbolg]]s used to dwell. They have deserted their homes and are amassing under the name of the [[Gnarlpine]] tribe.
−
As you play the game and your character levels up, starting at level 10, your character is given 1 talent point (TP) every level to assign to their [[Talent tree]]s. Each [[class]] has different trees and different Talents. The reason talents are included is so that each player of the same class will be slightly different as far as how their skills work and how effective they are. Talents are gained through level progression. Certain talents for your class are beneficial while you are [[leveling]], other talents help you do better in [[PvP]]. Without this system each class character would be identical, which doesn't exactly add variety to the gamespace. It's up to you as the player how to make your character different by [[Specialization|specializing]] in the character's different Talents.
 
   
  +
Only the corruption of wicked [[Fel Moss]] could cause such a transformation. The [[grell]]s and [[grellkin]] have infested the area and are threatening the residents of [[Shadowglen]].
−
== How does the Talent system work? ==
 
−
With the maximum character level set at 80, a player can effectively assign a maximum of 71 talent points to their tree (leveling from 10 to 80 gives 71 points). Attaining a certain Talent's ability to augment your character is not as simple as just assigning 1 single point into a Talent.
 
   
  +
Engage these grells and grellkin, <name>, and see if they are indeed caught under the enchantment of the wicked Fel Moss.
−
For example, to activate and utilize a Talent in the second tier of the tree, you may have to assign 5 of your TPs into a Talent in the top tier prerequisites before it becomes active. Because the system is tiered, players have to think long and hard before assigning a point. Once you have allocated a TP, you cannot unallocate it. However, there will be [[NPC]]s available in some of the larger cities to allow players to reassign all their Talents, for a price, of course. This price will increase every time you reassign your Talents.
 
   
  +
==Progress==
−
While planning one's [[template]], take note that the ''ultimate talent'' in each of the Talent Trees require 50 Talent Points placed in that tree to unlock. This means that to learn the ultimate Talent in a tree, you need to place at least 51 points in that tree (attained at level 60). This prevents you from learning the ultimate Talent from either of the other 2 trees because you will only have a maximum of 71 Talent Points. With a few exceptions, the ultimate talent is very strong, and every character should have one.
 
  +
Satisfy my suspicions, <name>. Bring to me 8 [[Fel Moss]].
   
  +
==Completion==
−
Each character class features three Talent Trees, each unique to the class. You may want to specialize in one tree or spread your points over two or even three trees. Spreading your points will mean that it would be impossible for you to become efficient in one single Talent discipline - the choice is yours.
 
  +
Your service to the creatures of [[Shadowglen]] is worthy of reward, <name>.
   
  +
You confirmed my fears, however. If the [[grell]]s have become tainted by the [[Fel Moss]], one can only imagine what has become of the [[Gnarlpine]] tribe of [[furbolg]]s who once lived here.
−
* Often there are Talents in one tree that will provide useful benefits to another tree (such as the [[Elemental Precision (mage talent)|Elemental Precision]] talent in the Mage's Frost tree, which would benefit both a Mage speccing for Fire and a Mage speccing for Frost). It is often useful to place Talent Points in multiple trees in order to further enhance your desired spec.

Should you find yourself in [[Dolanaar]], able <class>, seek out the knowledgeable druid, [[Athridas Bearmantle]]. He shares our concern for the well being of the forest.
−
== Where do I assign Talent Points? ==
 
−
There are a couple of ways to activate your Talent screen. One method is to click the Talent icon on the interface bar at the bottom of the screen (assuming you are using the default [[UI]]). This pops up the Talent interface which features the main Talent window showing the tree and Talents. It also features three tabs along the bottom which can be clicked to flip between each of the three trees. You can also activate the Talent interface by pressing the N key (if you haven't unbound it or bound the key to a different action).

Don't panic! Players have the ability to unlearn all their talents and start over. Your [[Class Trainers|Class Trainer]], for a modest fee (increases by {{cost|5}} each use, to a maximum {{cost|50}}, however the first time you do this you will only be charged {{cost|1}}, a freebie of sorts), will let you recover all Talent Points spent up to this point. You can then reassign all your points. Keep in mind that all points are removed from '''ALL''' trees, and you'll also unlearn higher ranks of the spells achieved through a talent point expenditure. Fortunately, as of patch 2.4 you will automatically relearn the ranks of these spells as soon as you put talent points back into them.

Since [[Patch 1.11 (Release Notes)|patch 1.11]] there is a decay in the cost of such talent respecs:

:The cost to unlearn talents will now decay over time. This cost will be reduced by a rate of 5 gold per month to a minimum of 10 gold.

Note: Although the official patch notes continue to say that the minimum is {{cost|10}}, subsequent official posts on the WoW forums have confirmed that that is a mistake, and the cost will only be reduced to a minimum of {{cost|15}}.

Occasionally, Blizzard will restructure a class's talent tree. If the change is significant, they may reset that class's tree, allowing you to respec for free. Talent changes do not always give a free respec: for example, in patch 2.3.2, the mage spell [[Ice Block]] was made trainable, and the talent [[Cold Snap]] was moved to its place, and the new spell [[Icy Veins]] was put in Cold Snap's old spot. This change did not give mages a free respec, but it required those mages specced for Ice Block to go to a trainer and buy that spell.

−
Prior to every Expansion, Blizzard has and will reset the talent tree incase the player wished to change before the new expansion.

==Advice on picking your talents==
 
−  
−
*Pick one thing to do and stick with it. If you try to (for example) get a bit of healing ability and a bit of [[tank]]ing ability, you'll probably end up bad at both.
 
−
* This does NOT mean you should put all your points in one tree. Once you get the "ultimate talent" at 60, look at your other trees. The base talents in many trees work well with the advanced talents in other trees.
 
−
* Any ability that activates "whenever you are critically hit" is a PvP talent (PvE players won't get critically hit much) and can be safely skipped if you aren't doing much PvP.
 
−
* Any ability that gradually applies several stacks of a [[buff]] or [[debuff]] is designed for [[boss fights]], which last long enough for these abilities to reach a full stack. When you're leveling, your fights usually won't last long enough, so skip these talents if there's something better available.
 
−
* Any talent that makes you go faster will save you a tremendous amount of time and is almost always worth getting while leveling.
 
−  
−
==Pet talent points==
 
−
{{main|Pet talents}}
 
−  
−
In [[patch 3.0.2]], hunter pets went from having to be taught abilities using [[training point]]s to having a talent tree, depending on the beasts' [[family type]]. Unlike players the pets start earning talent points at level 20 and then gain a point every 4 levels. So by the time your hunter reaches level 80, the pet will have 16 spendable points, unless the hunter has the [[Beast Mastery]] talent, which adds 4 more points.
