- The War Within Alpha is well underway, offering us an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming expansion's highly-anticipated features.
In this episode of Talking WoW, we take a closer look at Hero Talents, and try to decide if this overly ambitious feature is going to embrace the class fantasy that it is seemingly promising, or will it fall short?

To be fair there are definitely some hero talent trees that do look very lackluster, but there are definitely a lot that DO change your gameplay and add a bunch of cool visual flair. Have you seen Sunfury mage yet, Voidweaver priest , or Rider of the Apocalypse DK? All 3 of those look incredible. And with Sunfury, it’s basically all passive but still manages to give an amazing visual vibe upgrade and simultaneously change how you will play.
I do agree though that there could be more done so that all of the trees are equally as cool
We are still in Alpha so things can change! It's an ambitious system but we hope it comes out good!
Sunfury for mages has been an absolute DELIGHT from what little I've seen of it. No more reliance on Sun's King Blessing, if I so choose. I hate that talent so much I genuinely thought I was going to chip a tooth from grinding my teeth with the pure vitriol I have for it as-is on retail. Being able to divert onto other REGULAR talents with the slightly more flexible HERO talents is just plain nice.
Glad you are finding joy in the new talents!
When will Blizz stop with gimmicks? They know what works. Don't they?
It's always okay try new things, we are seeing that with Plunderstorm, WoW Remix, etc. They got so much right in Dragonflight, but right now this does feel like a lot of work for additional passive abilities for specs, it is being touted as an ever green feature though, so perhaps there will be more to it? It sounds very cool on paper but the reality feels a bit lackluster.
