Oh, that's right. So wait, there's the Voker that does the direct damage caster stuff. And then what's the other one? The other one's a healer.

Trust me. 16 years of me forgetting stuff when I needed it the most. It's just fine. This is, this wouldn't be the instance without that. Um,

That is very bard-like. Yeah. I like that fantasy a little better than bards. Bards and the music and stuff. It's just silly to me. I'm going to get hate for this. It's just never been my favorite thing. And also, if you're going to call them the โ€“ what did you call them? What's the spec? Augmentation. Augmentation. They should give you like Botox treatments and stuff like that.

High cheek โ€“ like cheekbone lifts and boob reductions in my case. Yeah. Let's move on to some hero talents. This is exciting.

Yeah, because I mean, look, I'll admit this. The game is old enough, long enough in the tooth that the old days of when you get a new expansion, it meant a whole new leveling path of brand new abilities. That's gone. We don't do that anymore. If anything, it's just talent unlocks. I think the talent system is really in a good place right now, so I'm not complaining. But I do miss that.

Like every other level, bing, I got something awesome to try out. And you don't have that with your old characters. So I feel like this is an olive leaf in that direction. It includes hero talents for all the World of Warcraft classes. Don't know why I had to say that. I could have said, wow.

And they are an evergreen form of character progression for each class specialization that introduces new powers and class fantasies. There are 11 nodes in a hero talent tree. First of these unlocks with the system at level 71, and you earn one talent point per level from level 71 to 80. So you get every talent in the tree by 80. So you fill it out. It's not A or B. It's everything.

You may do it in a different order because you want to, you know, I don't know, have stuff early. Not downside of this, but I hear a lot of people arguing about which class they're going to play because some of them seem epic for some of these classes. And some seem fine. You know, like the ice spec stuff for a frost mage seems awesome compared to that of a arcane mage.

And I guess to each their own, you're going to find something you're going to like. But I always worry about that a little like... are we going to see too many of a certain thing because they just go OP and then they'll balance it and they'll patch it and then they'll piss someone off because it got nerfed and it's fine.

Yeah. Like Frostfire spec as opposed to Sunfury spec, it's kind of like in between those two if you're a mage. I'm talking about mages a lot because I think I'm going to use my 70 boost for a mage. I think I've decided. Mages are very fun. I mean, I got a lot of like level 50 mages and I don't want to do them manually. So I think I'm going to boost one.

I know, I'm an idiot. Remix. I even had like a, what's the, who's the dark elf from on the Horde side? What's the name of those elves? They're void elves.
