Gain insight into the future and use it to protect and empower your allies. Knowledge of the future gives the Priest the ability to grant multiple unique support effects to allies.

Wow The War Within Here Are Priest's Heroic Oracle Talents (1) — WoW The War Within: Each Heroic Talent tree begins with a “Keystone Talent” that introduces the core mechanics and concept of the tree. This could be a new ability, an enhancement of an existing ability or cooldown, or a new buff that you can trigger. The end of each talent tree is marked by a “Deckstone Talent” that builds upon the core themes of the tree or grants new bonuses to the keystone.

Heroic Talents are designed to provide enough damage or healing increase to make an impact without these new talents becoming too significant and overshadowing your current class and specialization talents. Most Heroic Talent trees add visual effects to classes that communicate what they do and bring their class fantasies to life. However, these are not complete visual overhauls, your class and specialization are still fundamentally the same, and will continue to be so.
