Talent trees updated from the 30 October export
Talent trees now follow the 30 October 2026 export for beta client 1.60.1.70630, including the source-reported hotfixes from 28 and 30 October. Development notes were read through 27 October. Changed layouts use a new share-link version. Older links stay readable, and points in removed talents are returned. Twist of Light, Binding Heal and Gift of the Earthmother do not carry their points into Unsealed Wrath, Holy Binding or Bloom. Heart of the Wild is in Restoration. Lacerate is a Feral Combat talent. These records are not independent in-game verification.
Spellbooks updated from the 30 October export
Spellbooks now follow the same 30 October 2026 export: 1757 school spells and 61 general entries. Rank 1 Ice Barrier absorbs 447 damage, increases Frost damage by 15% for 1 min, and adds another 5% while the shield holds. These tooltips are not independent in-game verification.
Judgement, Seal of Fury and Lacerate summaries updated
Judgement's Seal of Fury taunt lasts 3 seconds. Seal of Fury links Improved Seals. Holy Strike links Iron Creed, Shieldsworn and Sacred Arbiter. Lacerate is the Feral Combat talent learned at levels 25, 34, 42, 50 and 58. Improved Seal of Fury is absent from the tree. These summaries are not independent in-game verification.
Racials updated; Improved Scorch icon corrected
Updated Human, Dwarf, Orc, Tauren and Skyborne racial records and translations from the 26 October development notes. Read Leyline and Skysight distinguish their 15-second effects from the one-hour Attuned and Charged states. Improved Scorch uses the current source icon. Talent ranks and share links are unchanged. Not independently verified in game.
Talent and spellbook source records refreshed
Ten talent descriptions and four spellbook entries now follow the 23 October export, including pushback wording, Missile Barrage triggers, Champion of the Light, Amplify Curse, Hunter’s Mark, Holy Fire and Lava Burst. Share links and point layouts remain compatible. Champion of the Light and Missile Barrage differ from earlier Blizzard notes; class guides explain the unresolved source differences. These records are not independent in-game verification.

Frost Mage hotfix descriptions refreshed
Frost Warding, Winter’s Chill and Ice Barrier now use the refreshed export descriptions. Winter’s Chill records 5% damage and 7% spell-damage scaling per stack; Ice Barrier ranks 1–4 are synchronized in the spellbook. Layout, saved points and share links are unchanged. These are source records, not independent in-game verification.
Paladin comparison notes clarified
Holy Shock now explains how its level-30 first rank compares with Classic. Sense Undead explains Human and Dwarf training and the Undead starting spell. This refresh changes source notes only; talent points and share links stay unchanged.
Frost Mage talents updated
Piercing Ice is removed; Elemental Precision now has three ranks at 2%, 4% and 6%. Moved talents and older builds are preserved by name; removed and excess points are refunded when you create a current-version copy.
Stress test postponed to 21–22 October
Blizzard postponed the previously announced 19–20 October test by 48 hours. Regional times, countdowns and calendar downloads now use 21–22 October. If you imported the old calendar, update or replace that reminder; it will not necessarily update automatically. The end time remains unannounced.
Racials refreshed against the October beta notes
Updated racial replacements, cooldowns, critical bonuses and Eureka’s duration, including the Undead proc changes. All seven translations follow the reviewed facts. Priest racial spells are unchanged; values have not been independently tested in game.
Legacy positions and vendor discounts clarified
Master Chef and Luremaster move one column left. Their requirements and saved allocations are unchanged. Bartering discounts vendor items, excluding training and repairs.
Baseline ability notes brought up to date
Corrected Priest cooldowns, Fire Nova damage, Slam’s Classic rank comparison and Totem Bar levels. Added Frost Blast and Salvation/Revoke notes and repaired three related-talent links. All seven translations updated.
Rogue Classic comparisons corrected
Puncturing Wounds is recorded as new; Hack and Slash is compared with Sword Specialization. The removed-talent list and translated comparisons follow those identities. Talent ranks, layout and existing share links are unchanged.
Talents and spellbooks updated to Beta 70425
Talent layouts, ranks and spellbooks now use the 16 October export for Beta 70425. Older links remain readable; changed layouts offer an explicit migration with removed or invalid points returned. Priest and Warlock starter plans were revised; incompatible imported plans await review. Recorded tooltips have not all been independently checked in game.
Rogue spellbook Classic comparisons corrected
Corrected the Classic comparison labels for Eviscerate rank 6 and Feint ranks 1–5, plus the Classic charge and stacking descriptions for Deadly Poison rank 5 and Wound Poison ranks 1–4. Talent allocations are unchanged. These source corrections have not been independently verified in game.
8 October talent and requirement refresh
The 8 October export keeps 466 talents. Impale now requires 3 points in Deep Wounds, and Predatory Instincts is now Natural Instinct in the same cell. Reckoning, Expose Prey, Penance, Water Shield, Demonic Brand, Furor and two Warrior effects also have updated records. Old links still open; points that no longer meet a requirement return to the user. These records have not been independently verified in game.

4 October spellbook refresh
The 4 October records keep 1,755 class spell ranks and add an explicitly observed name-only Attack entry for every class. Target ranges, combo-point lines, totem tools, acquisition labels and selected values are refreshed while the spellbook structure stays unchanged. These records have not been independently verified in game.
Racial tooltip details
Cultivation now records the observed one-hour cooldown that its tooltip omits. Eureka! distinguishes the Priest healing behavior and the Mage wording, and Dark Sacrifice adds Spirit to its Mana return. These records have not been independently verified in game.
Class ability record refresh
Selected class summaries now record updated Paladin icons and rank ranges, Bloodrage’s 20% base-health cost, Comprehend Scroll at level 6, Druid acquisition details and Lightning Bolt cast-time ranges. The list remains a concise editorial selection. These records have not been independently verified in game.
Dedicated Study timing
Dedicated Study now records a 25 second cast and a 23 hour cooldown from the 1.60.1.70170 client record. The Legacy tree layout and 16-point budget are unchanged. This record has not been independently verified in game.
Warrior stance and shield requirements
The 3 October export records Spearing Strike as requiring Battle Stance and Shield Slam as requiring a shield. Talent positions and the share-link version are unchanged. These records have not been independently verified in game.
Spellbook weapon and shield requirements
The 3 October export adds explicit shield requirements to Shield Bash, Shield Block, Shield Slam and Shield Wall, and dagger requirements to Ambush and Backstab. Spearing Strike keeps its Battle Stance requirement without the previous two-handed weapon list. The spellbook structure is unchanged. These records have not been independently verified in game.
Warrior talent hotfixes and build compatibility
The 2 October export records 466 talents. Warrior Fury adds Lingering Rage and Gore Drinker, removes Boundless Rage and Precision, and replaces Improved Cleave with Furious Precision. Iron Will moves to Protection and Toughness is removed. Shared builds use a new data version; older Warrior links open on their saved tree and can be migrated explicitly. These records have not been independently verified in game.

Tooltips and Classic comparisons also changed. These records have not been independently verified in game.
Five spellbook learning levels corrected
The 30 September Beta export changes five spell learning levels across Hunter, Priest, Shaman and Warlock spellbooks. The talent trees and share-link version are unchanged. These learning levels have not been independently verified in game.
Hunter Agility ranks and Shadowguard record corrected
The 26 September export records Lightning Reflexes at 2/4/6/8/10% Agility, down from 3/6/9/12/15%; its Classic comparison is now Changed.

Talents touched24 September Beta data and build compatibility update
The new export has 466 talents and spellbooks from beta build 1.60.1.70009. Two Paladin talents were removed, two Shaman talents moved, and two Druid cells changed identity. Share links now use a new version; old allocations stay saved but cannot be applied to the new tree automatically. Twenty older guide plans need review before they can load. Racial, ability and Legacy notes were updated from the same export.
Hunter talent numbers and weapon requirements corrected
Resourcefulness still cuts Trap and melee Mana by 30%/60%. The critical-strike chance to keep 50% Mana regeneration while casting is now 30% at rank 1 and 60% at rank 2, not 50%/100%. Lightning Reflexes is 3%/6%/9%/12%/15% Agility and is marked Same as Classic.

Talents touchedClass spellbooks add Poisons and talent-learned ranks
The English books now include the Rogue Poisons recipes, Druid Berserk and Mangle, and Shaman Water Shield. Presence of Mind stays an Arcane talent, not a trainer rank. Revive, Rage of the Farseer and Totemic Projection no longer carry a wrong Classic comparison. Enchanted Flare is marked new. Holy Shield, Mutilate and Spearing Strike list their weapon or shield requirements. The book has 1753 school spells. Talent-tree layout did not change.
Three racial tooltips follow the current export
Touch of the Grave is a 10% chance for casters and 5% for melee. Cultivation has a 1 hour cooldown. Berserking is 10% spell and attack speed for 10 sec on a 3 min cooldown. These figures come from the 20 September export; this site has not checked them in-game.
Class spellbooks drop two talent-effect rows
The English Mage Fire book no longer lists Fire Vulnerability, and the Priest Discipline book no longer lists Focused Casting. Those remain talent effects, not trainer ranks. Classic comparisons were corrected for many other ranks, including Holy Shock, Trueshot Aura and Slam. Some ranks keep a Changed mark without Classic tooltip text. The book now has 1726 school spells and 1727 Beta tooltips. Talent trees did not change, so saved builds and shared links stay valid.
English class spellbooks are now public
Each English class spellbook now lists every trained rank from the level 60 Beta book, grouped by spell, with search, a known-at-level cap and Classic comparisons. Other languages stay on the abilities hub.
Class spellbooks now follow the level 60 Beta book
The English class spellbook pages now list every trained rank from the 18 September Forever Beta export (client 1.60.1.69876): 1728 school spells and 61 general entries, with 1729 Beta tooltips. Talent trees did not change, so saved builds and shared links stay valid.
Ability notes now match the level 60 Beta spellbook
Intercept is trained at 30, 42 and 52. Lacerate at 42, 50 and 58. Cure Poison stays in the Restoration book. Ghost Wolf is a 3 sec outdoor cast. Holy Strike has eight ranks. Shadow Word: Death, Frostfire Bolt and Summon Incubus now use their recorded Beta tooltips.
English /legacy/ now plans 16 points and shares a link
The English Legacy page lets you assign 16 points, check prerequisites, reset and copy a shareable link. Other languages still show the catalog only.
Recorded class-change notes for all nine classes
The English Class changes page lists recorded new, moved or max-rank talents for every class in the current snapshot. Each card opens that talent in the calculator.
Twenty-one talent descriptions corrected
Recorded numbers and conditions changed on 21 talents. The tree layout did not change, so saved drafts and share links with version preview-20260917-aed0e73e stay valid. Seal of Command, Counterattack, Mutilate, Improved Arcane Shot, Improved Gouge, Improved Mind Blast, Improved Corruption, Fel Domination, Demonic Brand and Bane have new recorded values. Several Priest and Druid spells no longer list leftover form requirements; Wild Growth range is 43 yards. Re-check a saved Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Warlock or Druid build if it uses those talents.

Five ability notes no longer invent missing facts
Ghost Wolf no longer lists a 2-second base cast or instant-at-2/2 from Improved Ghost Wolf. Intercept and Lacerate stay in Forever but mark the Beta train level unverified.

Racials, priest racials and Legacy pages now match the 17 September records
Recorded racials and Legacy perks now follow the 17 September snapshot: 40 racial abilities, 12 Priest race spells and 21 revealed Legacy perks. Several racials have different numbers or conditions, including Engineering Specialization reducing device fail chance. Skyborne High Order records Read Ley Line; Windshapers record Skysight. Priest race spells use the snapshot’s Beta-client figures. Legacy adds Bartering and shows tree gates plus six still-unrevealed slots. Baseline abilities did not change.
Every remaining talent rank is now written
597 previously empty ranks are now filled (735 → 1322 recorded) as source text. About 131 already-written ranks were rewritten, and 69 icons were replaced.

Consent Mode and no ads on policy pages
Analytics and ads now wait for the Google consent message in the EEA, UK and Switzerland, honour Global Privacy Control in the United States, and no longer load ad code on About, Contact, Privacy, Sources or class reference pages.

Copy your build as plain text
Copy for AI on the calculator exports the selected talents with their recorded rank text, prerequisites and Classic changes as plain text, ready to paste into a chat assistant or a guide.
Launch: nine class planners
The WoW Forever talent calculator opens with all nine classes and 27 trees from the BlizzCon preview: Compare to Classic, rank checks, local drafts, named saves and versioned share links.
