Arena of Champions 0.2 Specs and Talents Notes

Specs and Talents, version 0.2, is dated 21 Oct 2026. Priest joins, with Discipline and Shadow. Specializations and talent rows turn on. The queue buttons for 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 appear. Bot practice appears, so you can swing at a target that is not another person. Rated play is not on yet. That starts in 0.5. The 1500 starting number does not belong on this page.

The talent shape used later is five rows, three choices each, plus two utility slots from 0.19. I am not claiming 0.2 already had the utility slots. The row description comes from the independent database’s reading of the current client, so treat “five by three” as the current shape, not a screenshot of 21 Oct.

Priest spell names, single source, live on the priest page: Penance and Pain Suppression for Discipline, Mind Flay and Shadowform for Shadow, plus Flash Heal, Power Word: Shield and Psychic Scream. Shadowform’s interaction with Shield is a 0.12 change, not a 0.2 one.
