Where these stats come from
Starting at the top of the rankings, we work down until we have everything we need for 50 characters.
A character is ignored if their Battle.net profile is missing or incomplete, if they aren’t max level, or if their talents don’t fit the current talent tree.
Use this as a starting point, then adjust your setup for your bracket, comp, rating, and matchup.

Talents
The new talent system is not as straight-forward as the talent systems from previous expansions. Many talents are situational, and choosing your talents should be done based on the content you are doing. This heat map will show what talents are must-picks, which ones are situational, and which ones are rarely chosen.
