Hero Talents are set to play a major role in World of Warcraft when The War Within expansion drops in the second half of 2024. Now, Blizzard has begun to release a first look at this system, including a particularly exciting path for Priests.
For those who are not aware, Hero Talents complement the existing talent system. Though they operate separately, their effects are directly related to existing talents and spec strengths.
Each class has three new Hero Talent trees, with each spec able to choose between two of those. There are exceptions to this rule. Druids will have four and Demon Hunters just two, to match the number of specs available to those classes.
Oracle Priest looks set to add significant depth to Holy and Discipline players. Here’s everything we know so far.

Hero Talent trees offer the same format regardless of class. Every player will have a keystone and capstone talent, with three rows of further talents in between. The complete list of Hero Talents for the Oracle Priest archetype is as follows:
