WoW shows off four Hero Talent trees from its upcoming expansion The War Within, and it looks like the Augmentation Evoker's meta chaos is spreading to other specs

Emberthal, a Drac'thyr from World of Warcraft: Dragonflight (a race of draconic humanoids) flashes a coy smirk.

Blizzard have released a sneak peek at some of the Hero Talents from World of Warcraft's upcoming expansion: The War Within. Hero Talents are meant to be evergreen dashes of spice to the game's existing talent system—ones which mainly add "class utility [and] defensive bonuses."

The devs maintain that the differences in these trees is meant to be flavour: "We are aiming for all trees to be about equal in the amount of utility and defensiveness they provide."

It's also intended that players will have access to every node, so they will (in theory) be easier to balance.
