READING THE TALENT TREES
This planner uses 51 points at level 60, shared across Arms, Fury and Protection. You earn your first point at level 10. Each higher tier needs 5 more points spent in earlier tiers of the same tree; linked prerequisites must be fully learned.
Click or tap a talent to add one rank. Use its minus button, right-click or Shift-click to remove one. Keyboard users can press Enter or Space to add and Shift+Enter or Shift+Space to remove. Reset build clears all three trees. Removing a rank is blocked if a learned talent would lose its prerequisite or tier requirement.
Copy build link shares the allocation through the b parameter in the URL. Opening or refreshing that link restores the ranks without an account or server. The link includes the dataset version; damaged links and builds from a different dataset are rejected rather than partially loaded.
The community dataset identifies build 1.60.1.70291, exported 2026-10-09 and imported here on 2026-10-13. N means new, C means changed and M means moved relative to Classic. Each entry includes all rank summaries and a comparison note. A changed label may describe wording alone; specific notes distinguish the effect differences visible in the source.
No. The active-ability values describe the source’s level-60 snapshot before gear bonuses. This is a beta planning tool using a community export, not an independent client audit. Later patches or gear can change in-game results. Source dates and manual update checks are recorded in the changelog.
