Blizz mentioned that Hero Talents will be a little different for Druid since we have 4 specs. For all 3 spec classes, each spec shares a Hero Talent Tree with another spec, for a total of 2 Hero Talent Trees. Blizz showed us during the reveal that Balance has only 2 Hero Talent Trees even though it should have 3 if it shared a Hero Talent Tree with every other spec. I think what Blizz is gonna do is have Balance and Resto share 2 Hero Talent Trees with each other, and have Feral and Guardian share 2 Hero Talent Trees with each other. This makes sense because obviously there’s a lot more overlap between Balance and Resto compared to the other 2 specs, and a lot more overlap between Feral and Guardian compared to the other 2 specs
There’s one per spec, so Druid will have 4 and DH will have 2, everyone else gets 3.
The third unshown tree is probably a druid of the claw one, the fourth is the mystery.
Balance = nature and moon
Guardian = claw and moon
Feral = claw and 4th
Resto = nature and 4th
4th could also be a hots/dots shared between resto and cat since both like there overtimes
The bigger concern is we’re the first class shown for a new talent system again just like dragonflight which means well probably end up with the most half baked version of the trees again at the start of the expansion.

I’m curious to see if they are meant to be some sort of cosmetic for you class/spec or if they will make you performe different depending on what you chose because if one is better than the other then there won’t be a choice after all and everyone will just be locked to the best one.

Of course there will be one that performs better. It also doesn’t matter for 95% of the playerbase.
I hope you’re right. I personally HATE Grove Guardians and wish they weren’t tied to the Druid’s season 3 tier set… At least give us an option. I’m an old fuddy-duddy and I learned the druid the old way. The magic of HoTs. I like controlling my HoT healing and I DON’T want an auto heal. Maybe it works in M + content, but leave the raid healing to personal preference. I really hope that these Hero talents for Resto will give us the option to focus on the Grove Guardians OR the power of HoT healing (the old Resto way). PLEASEEEE for the love of ELUNE!
