So when HoT comes out, if we’ve already done all the map hero points before the patch, how do we level up the new elite specs?

I’m out of town right now and can’t check my characters, but didn’t they convert all excess hero points to spirit shards? Or did they leave enough equal to the account
Amount earned by the map exploration? What about people who spent a ton of skill points prior to they update?

I could probably answer my own question by logging in and looking at my characters, but as I said, out of town.

They converted Skill Points into Spirit Shards, and Skill Point challenges into Hero Point challenges, so you still have Hero Points which you will be using to unlock and complete your Elite Specialization.

Since you are given enough Hero Points at level 80 to maximize your core Training, any extra Hero Point challenges you complete will go forward to unlocking your Elite Speciliazation come the release of HoT.

And if I’d already done everything do I have the hero points I’ll need?

They’ve never said what the exact requirements are but having map completion would be reasonably enough to get the elite. The elite name only comes from them not being core. It doesn’t come from special leveling requirements. To unlock core traits is 60 Hero points per line. I would expect 60 for this also plus whatever points are needed to unlock the utility skills. Assuming 1 heal, 2 utilities and one elite skill, maybe 80-100 hero points total would be my guess.

Be careful what you ask for
