PvP Talents (War Mode)
There will be the option to go into "War Mode."Enabling War Mode provides the following benefits:
- PvP Talents enabled in the outdoor world.
- 10% increase in World Quest rewards at maximum level.
- 10% more experience gained while leveling.
With the benefits of enabling War Mode for leveling and PvE content, it isrecommended enabling the feature to maximize your leveling and rewards atmaximum level. However, you will make yourself available for open-world PvP,and the possibility of being killed while leveling or doing World Questsexists.
In this section, we will list the PvP Talents best for leveling and doingsolo / small group PvE content. Note that these may not be optimal in actualPvP situations.
Star Burst is a passive effect that calls down falling stars onenemies during Starfall. Enemies who run into this take damage and getknocked up. Allies can pick these up and run into enemies to detonate them.- Moonkin Aura is amazing for group combat and strong for solocontent. This can buff all members in your party and help finish questsand rares faster. We would recommend this for all group content.
- Thorns can provide minimal peel or damage in open-world content.
- Malorne's Swiftness will let you move at 100% Movement Speedevenwhile in combat. Great for open-world content.
