Talent System Overview

How Talents Work

• Each class has a talent tree with multiple branches
• You earn talent points by leveling up
• Talents have unlock level requirements and prerequisites
• Some talents are exclusive — picking one locks out another
• Talents can be reset between raids for free

Talent Branches

Every class has 3 talent branches:

1. Offense Branch — Damage, attack speed, critical hits
2. Defense Branch — Health, armor, block rate, damage reduction
3. Utility Branch — Movement, cooldowns, resource management, special effects

Talent Point Budget

Level Range	Talent Points	Focus
1–10	10	Foundation talents
11–20	10	Branch specialization
21–30	10	Advanced talents
31+	Remaining	Capstone and exclusive picks
