Mandatory PvP Talents

Born in Flame Icon Born in Flame makes it so when you use Ebon Might Icon Ebon Might, you are granted Burnout Icon Burnout. This will reduce the cast time of Living Flame Icon Living Flame by 100%. This is great for increasing your damage output while using your burst cooldowns.

Unburdened Flight Icon Unburdened Flight is a crucial PvP talent to have. This makes it, so your Hover Icon Hover makes you immune to movement reduction effects. This is important because you have a short range on your healing spells and need to use your mobility to avoid damage and crowd control.

Situational PvP Talents

Dream Projection Icon Dream Projection summons a copy of yourself that flies through your allies and heals them. After it expires, it will detonate and dispel all nearby allies and put a large HoT on them. This is great versus teams with multiple DoTs.

Nullifying Shroud Icon Nullifying Shroud prevents the next 3 crowd control effects on you. This lasts for 30 seconds but has a cast time.
