Black Arrow: Only usable on enemies above 80% health or below 20% health.
The Bell Tolls: Black Arrow is now usable on enemies with greater than 80% health or less than 20% health. Greater than 80% is the same as above 80% and less than 20% is the same as below 20%. Please explain this to me and use small words so I can understand.
Without the talent you cant cast it at 80+ drop the talent and the tooltip will change

Before The Bell Tolls:
Black Arrow: You attempt to finish off a wounded target, dealing (268.272% of Attack power) Shadow damage and (35% of Attack power) Shadow damage over 14 sec. Only usable on enemies below 20% health.
After The Bell Tolls:
Black Arrow: You attempt to finish off a wounded target, dealing (268.272% of Attack power) Shadow damage and (35% of Attack power) Shadow damage over 14 sec. Only usable on enemies above 80% health or below 20% health.
Or, at least, that’s the effect of it. We level 77+ players literally can’t apply talents without taking The Bell Tolls to check for you whether there’s a text bug, specifically. But, I do know from level 71s who didn’t start with tBT that at least the effect *(the 80+ %HP range) won’t activate until you take the talent.
Your Black Arrow tooltip updated itself after you took The Bell Tolls. Normally the tooltip says “Only usable on enemies below 20% health.”
OP is right though. black arrow’s tooltip text always says above 80%, regardless of whether you’ve picked up the bell tolls yet
it can even be seen in the spell’s effects on wowhead: https://www.wowhead.com/spell=466930/black-arrow there are two dummy effects, one with a value of 20 and another with value of 80
the bell tolls doesn’t do anything atm
Not true. If you are under level 80 and drop the talent you cannot cast it at 81%.
I haven’t tested it since last fall, but that’s not how it was when it launched. It was actually hardcoded to always work above 80/below 20 even when you didn’t have the bell tolls yet. There are actually variables in the spelldata for the percentages now, so I believe you.
