How the calculator works

  • Click a talent (or tap it and press Learn) to add a point. Right-click, press Delete, or tap Unlearn to remove one.
  • Each row unlocks after 5 points in that tree. Talents with an arrow need the talent above them maxed first.
  • Your build is saved in this browser automatically. Use Copy build link to share it.

Talent names, ranks, positions and tooltips are read from the game client (build 1.15.9.70003). Numbers are shown for a level 60 character. WoW Classic Era (client 1.15.9) keeps the talent trees of patch 1.12, the last patch of the original game.
