WoW The War Within Lightsmith Paladin Hero Talent Tree & Capstone

One of the most anticipated announced expansions for World of Warcraft is The War Within. Players have been beating the Amirdrassil raid and completing the end-game content for Dragonflight. With players completing their Dragonflight experience, The War Within is the next step for this MMO.

It will be a massive step because The War Within will add the highly anticipated Hero Talent Tree to the mix. The Hero Talent Tree will be a new way for players to customize their characters. Here, we will go over everything we know about the Lightsmith Paladin which we got a preview of thanks to Blizzard.

Lightsmith Paladin Hero Talent Tree For WoW The War Within

Regarding Hero Talents in WoW The War Within, each class will have three Hero Talents but each Specialization within that class can only choose two. For the Lightsmith Paladin, only Holy and Protection Paladins can choose to be a Lightsmith Paladin. It makes sense as the Lightsmith Paladin is about protecting yourself, allies, and healing. Here is the Lightsmith Paladin Hero Talent tree players can expect (talent tree info via Blizzard):

Lightsmith Paladin Capstone For WoW The War Within

All of the talents and skills for the Lightsmith Hero Talent tree involve enhancing the Holy Armaments and increasing the effectiveness of spells. The final Capstone for players in this Hero Talent Tree will give players even more Holy Armaments to play with to give themselves the advantage.

The Lightsmith Capstone is called Blessing of the Forge: Avenging Wrath. This summons an additional Sacred weapon and during Avenging Wrath, the Sacred Weapons casts spells on targets and echoes the effect of Holy Power abilities.
