by on October 22, 2011


Whether you’re Holy, Discipline or Shadow, your class just completely changed – again. With the new Mists of Pandaria / WoW Patch 5.0 talent system, talents are completely changed. Now, a Priest – and every other class – only gets one talent every fifteen levels, chosen from a selection of three – but they’re all hella big talents.

Here’s the complete list of all the Priest talents, as announced at Blizzcon.
