The War Within Pre-Patch 11.0.2 Updates Classes & Talent Trees in Both PvE and PvP

Author: Shadostruct
Date: August 14, 2024
Updated: August 14, 2024
Expansion: World of Warcraft

The expansion release is imminent, and while we may not have access to the new “Hero Talents” that are going to be available starting from lv 71, we will be experiencing class changes that are going to shake things up.

The list of changes is… extensive. With basically every class and spec getting number tweaks, mechanic changes, and talent updates. You’ll notice when you login that your talent trees are likely missing a bunch of points and you’ll need to redo them. These changes also include major changes to how classes function in PvP as well!

There’s also some changes to UI functionality buried within all that class information overload as well that should prove interesting.

For the full breakdown of changes, read on down below for the original post from Blizzard and geek out over the numbers to your heart’s content!
