What changes at 60

The full rundown

Talent structure

  • 51 points at 60. Gold-medal milestones at 11, 16 (new), 21 and 31 points.
  • Row k needs 5×(k−1) points in that tree, so a 31/20 split reaches the second tree's 16-point gold, and 21/30 reaches row 6 of the second tree.
  • Dual Specialization at level 40. Respecs at a capital-city class trainer.
  • Separate account-wide Legacy talents (Professions, Adventure, Resourcefulness trees), up to 16 points per character in the beta.

Stats and buffs

  • One Hit stat and one Crit stat for melee, ranged and spells. Hybrid gear stops being split across three hit caps.
  • Bonus Healing also gives some Bonus Damage, which makes healer-gear DPS hybrids workable.
  • Kings, Divine Spirit and Improved Mark of the Wild are baseline. So are Consecration, Aimed Shot, Fear Ward and Devouring Plague.
  • Raid-wide since Oct 15: Battle Shout, Trueshot Aura, Leader of the Pack, Moonkin Aura, and the Grace of Air, Strength of Earth, Windfury and Flametongue totems. LotP is now melee/ranged crit and Moonkin is spell crit, so a raid can run both.

Racials (Oct 15 build)

  • Every race has 2 active and 2 passive racials. Resistance racials are gone, and weapon specs now give crit instead of weapon skill.
  • Human Ruthless: +2% crit on everything. Orc Savage +1% crit, Blood Fury +10% AP and SP. Dwarf Earth Fury +2% crit damage and healing. Tauren +5% HP, +2% crit damage and healing. Troll Berserking and 20% in-combat regen.
  • Skyborne (new, both factions): +3% haste and +5% damage to Elementals. A strong default for casters.
  • Undead Touch of the Grave now procs 30% of the time for casters. Gnome Eureka! gives an 8-second cost and damage buff.
IV.

Thirty-one builds

Every build is a 51-point split. The gold ticks on each bar mark the 11, 16, 21 and 31-point talents.
