Farseer Elemental Shaman Review
A Brief Introduction
Hero Talents are one of the box features for the new expansion «The War Within», extending the existing talent trees with 11 more nodes, which are going to be unlocked during the levelling in the next expansion. A max-level character will have all 11 nodes active simultaneously, only choosing between the two effects on each of the 3 choice nodes.

But maybe, and this is pretty unlikely, they instead use Flame Shock, Lava Burst or even Primordial Wave. Will the Elemental Blast cast by, or any other spell cast by an Ancestor, proc effects like Surge of Power, Windspeaker's Lava Resurgence or

Mid-March, Blizzard revealed 12 new Hero Talent Trees in a sneak peek at the new system coming with the The War Within expansion. Our Arms & Fury guide writer, Archimtiros, offers an early review of the Slayer Hero Talents that focuses on two abilities, driven by procs that emphasize both Execute and Bladestorm for single and multitarget damage. While the addition of fantastic quality of life features make Slayer an overall incredibly exciting for Arms & Fury Warriors, there still remains some questions of what single target talent builds focused on Bladestorm may look like in The War Within.
