Hi Everyone,
As I understand it, lvl 80’s should have enough hero points to train all five of their core specializations.
However, I am not seeing this to be the case. My Lvl 80 Ranger has 232 hero points after logging on. Each core specialization (if originally empty) needs about 307 hero points to train completely. That’s 604 hero points for my two untrained core specializations.
It is the same for all my lvl 80 alts. Not enough hero points to train in all core specializations.

So, what am I missing?
Thanks

You are missing that the points you spent are counted in towards the next buy in so total is 60 for a whole core specilisation

You got enough points with the ones automaticly trained to get all skills and all traits now at 80

It was said on the livestream that a level 80 would only need 60 points captured from world completion to unlock everything except the elite specs

Get out there and do some mapping!

A quick update on this one → After feedback from presenting the original hero point count – we decided getting to level 80 will give you enough hero points to unlock all the core skills and traits entirely. Doing hero challenges (aka skill challenges) will simply allow you to earn all the skills/traits earlier before level 80. With the release of HoT, there will be options to spend the excess hero points earned from doing hero challenges in the world.

There are a number of other changes on 6/23 to make the experience from 1-80 more exciting, better-paced, rewarding, and fun as well after having the time to evaluate and player feedback from the updates last year.
