Data, sources
& what we know.
Talent texts reflect the 26 October 2026 Beta export. Racials, Legacy perks and baseline abilities have separate adaptation histories. Snapshot recorded 27 October 2026. Licence and attribution are in Credits below. This site has not verified those texts in a playable client.
What is recorded
Racials, priest racials and Legacy perks are reviewed separately from talent imports. Baseline ability notes draw on the 18 September level 60 Beta book. The class spellbooks reflect the 23 October 2026 Beta export (client 1.60.1.70425). A recorded rank means the description is in the dataset, not that it was verified in-game.
Missing ranks
If a rank is missing, the detail panel marks it as unverified and shows an available rank for reference. Missing ranks are not multiplied from other ranks. Any estimate already present in the source is labeled “Source estimate.” You can allocate points to an unverified rank, but its unknown effect remains unknown.
Classic comparisons
The dataset labels talents as new, changed, moved or unchanged relative to Classic. Compare to Classic displays that classification and the older reference description. Removed talents are listed under their original tree; removal from a tree alone does not prove that an ability has disappeared from the game.
Some older descriptions include S03 override variants. Those entries carry a warning; their original Classic wording is unverified.
Builds and data versions
Every shared build includes the dataset version, class, level and point allocation. This calculator accepts a link only when its version and tree rules match. Incompatible links are kept intact with an explanation. We do not silently move old points into a revised tree.
Current version: beta-20261022-79b9f5bc
What the planner checks
The planner checks rank limits, the available points at the chosen level, five-point row gates and explicit prerequisite talents. It blocks refunds that would invalidate downstream points. Those checks describe allocation legality in this snapshot, not damage, healing output or encounter performance.
Official game information
Use Blizzard’s World of Warcraft: Forever announcement for launch and subscription access, and the now-live note for Beta opt-in, the launcher path and the current test range. This website records a community snapshot and does not promise final launch talents or a particular update schedule.
How build statistics are combined
Only independent samples with matching class, talent version, observation window and counting rules can be combined. Each dataset contributes its latest snapshot once. Talent selections are divided by complete build records; published rounded rates yield approximate weighted results. Current coverage is one eligible dataset. Published specialization shares and family rankings are retained because their underlying records are unavailable. Build directories, guide views, character censuses and this site’s separate 30-day activity window are excluded. Records do not represent unique players.
