Can we specialize instantly after the update or do we have to unlock stuff first ?

If you mean update today, you get nothing of specializations. This is just the preparation of that wich what already exist.

As for WHEN IT ACTUALLY RELEASES with HOT release date, you will have the option instantly to take them BUT, it will costs hero points. Those hero points can be farmed now already (skill challenges), but without them, it would imply you gotta unlock them.

Legendary weapons can be hidden now!
No excuse anymore for not giving ‘hide mounts’-option
No thanks to unidentified weapons.

Err what?

Today we get all the BASE specializations, not the elite ones.

So getting nothing today is pretty wrong.

You will have everything unlocked if you are level 80. Or you can unlock everything before 80 if you do hero challenges as well(Skill point challenges).

You unlock the specialisation slots at 21, 45 and 71.

In order to unlock Traits for these specialisations, you spend Hero Points that particular track.

You’ll get enough points by level 80 to unlock all skills and traits, but completing Hero Challenges – formerly known as Skill Point Challenges – you can unlock things sooner. So yeah, if you’re level 80, you can unlock everything straight away.

Life is a journey.
Time is a river.
The door is ajar.

I just keep being confused by ppl naming it specializations. While it may have been renamed to that, in essence they are CORE PROFESSIONS. Specializations are what they are, a new subclass.

They announced the Elite Specs as “Specializations” but later specified that we have two categories: Core Specializations & Elite Specializations.

Professions are not specializations. Specializations are what they’ve changed the Trait system to.

Mostly it’s a semantic issue, not a really important one. Just like professions are called professions, not “classes” like some people call them. Folks aren’t gonna stop calling profs “classes” so I doubt it’ll always be clear what specialization means because of the word’s association with primarily Elite Specs since the announcement.
