Tap or click to add a point, the minus beside it takes one back - on a desktop right click works too. A row opens once you have spent five points in that tree.

Requires 30 points in this tree · Requires Cold Snap at full rankBased on the beta client, no longer on the BlizzCon preview build - 466 talents across nine classes, read from build 1.60.1.70291. Against BlizzCon, nine are gone, two replaced, five added and five renamed. The descriptions are our own short summaries, not the in-game tooltips.
State: beta build 1.60.1.70009. The trees are the client's own; the one place a Blizzard note and the files disagree is the protection warrior. The note says Bastion and Focused Rage were swapped. In the files nothing swapped: Vitality was removed, Bastion moved up into its slot and costs 20 points instead of 25, and Focused Rage slid sideways into the slot Bastion left. We show the files. Older shared build links stay valid: opening one lifts it onto the positions of today along the talent names.
