WoW Guide - Don't Mess Up Your Talents

As I get started with this World of Warcraft talent guide; I want to mention that this is a general WoW talent guide and not a class specific talent guide. This guide is design to teach all new WoW players the dos and don’ts of the World of Warcraft talent system. So if you’re looking for a more class specific talent guide that will teach you build and specs for your class then I suggest you check out my WoW Guide.

In any case, one thing I must admit is that the talent system in World of Warcraft is actually very unique and distinct compared to what I was use to from other MMORPG. If you would to ask me I would say that I really like World of Warcraft's talent system, and I think it is certainly something which Blizzard did right with the game.

Now, if you're new to WoW then other than creating your first character understanding how the talent system works is probably the most important thing. As it will change to way you experience the game, and most importantly effect how fast you can actually level up your character.

What Exaclty are Talents?

When I first started playing WoW and learned about the talent system I thought that it is a system on how your class would choose their skills or spells, but this that's not 100% true. The talent system in WoW are not just spells or skills for your class, I mean there are a few but most of your talent abilities are passive abilities that enhances your spells or skills.

How Talents Work

The unique thing about the talent system is that you don't actually have access to it until you have reach level 10 on your character. And once you do hit level 10 you're reward with 1 talent point which you can put into one of the 3 talent trees available to your class.

Now, depending on which of the 3 talent tree you spent your first talent point on you will become specialized in that particular area of your class. Let's take Warlock for example. Warlocks have Affliction, Demonology, and Destruction as their talent trees and spells. So, if you decided to put your talents in the Affliction tree you'll become an Affliction Warlock since the Affliction talent will mostly improve your Affliction spells.

Another super crucial matter to remember when selecting your talent tree at level 10 is that once you placed that first point in any one of the talent tree it will become your primary talent tree. And every point you earn from that point forth must be spent into your primary talent tree, until you have spent at least 30 points into that tree first.

Now, if you made a mistake and spent your talent points on the wrong tree or you don't like your talent build right now, the only way to reset it is to pay your class trainer some gold.But, take into account that the price of resetting your talent points with your trainer is going to go up after every reset to a maximum of 50 gold.

So that wraps up my brief introduction to WoW talent trees, and if you’re seeking for a more class distinct talent guide that will inform you exactly where to put your points then check out www.nindleswowguide.com.
