Undying Defiance and talent resets in 3.0.1
Blizzard re-deployed 3.0.1 to live on October 19; its hotfix post that day lists build 24371. The 3.0.1 changes described here now apply to the live game. Kingy has not retested them in an installed client.
Blizzard lists Undying Defiance’s movement penalty as 40/35/30/25/20% after the October 7 patch. It also fixes Parry’s level-5 mana-cost value without publishing the corrected number; the historical rank table below does not establish current mana costs.
Tomes of Retraining are added to several vendors and also reset talent points. Exact vendors, prices, prerequisites and the interaction between Parry and Counter Attack remain unconfirmed.
On screen: With Garek's talent panel open, the Parry tooltip shows Undying Defiance changed to a short 100% damage reduction, then the Counter Attack tooltip shows it reflecting melee damage back to the attacker.
Check the guide’s version notes before following older footage.
“Warcraft III Became OPEN WORLD - ACT 1 City of the Dead part 2” by Video Game News · Sep 12, 2026 · Reforged 3.0.0, uploaded on launch day; predates 3.0.1

This is not the full talent tree. The table transcribes the earlier recording; the exact installed build and difficulty were not established. Point costs, prerequisites, rank unlocks and interactions still need verification. The official 3.0.1 notes establish talent reset tomes, but not a complete vendor route or price.
Check the current tooltip in your game before allocating points. No optimal build or difficulty-specific recommendation is claimed.
