Data & credits ↗BEFORE THE FIRST PULL
How this calculator
works.
Choose a class and spend points across its three trees. Each deeper row requires five more points in earlier rows of that tree. Arrows mark prerequisite talents.
Point budget
The standard budget starts at level 10 and reaches 51 points at level 60. Refund points before reducing the level; your work will not be silently reset. Use Undo to reverse recent changes in this session. Legacy perks that grant earlier points are not modeled.
Drafts and shared builds
Each class keeps a draft in this browser. Save a named build or copy a link with its exact allocation and data revision. Saved names stay on your device.
Data status
Talent descriptions use the recorded source and reviewed corrections. This is not a damage simulator or a best-build ranking. Recheck changed mechanics in the current client.
Legacy System
Plan account-wide Legacy perks in the separate beta calculator.
CALCULATOR FAQ
Questions before you spend a point.
How many talent points can a Mage use in WoW Forever?
This calculator uses the standard point budget: one talent point per level from level 10, up to 51 points at level 60. Legacy perks that grant earlier points are not modeled.
What does this Mage talent calculator validate?
It validates rank caps, five-point gates in earlier rows of the same tree, explicit prerequisites, and the selected level's standard point budget. It does not simulate damage, healing, gear, or determine the best build.
Is this Mage data current for WoW Forever?
The calculator uses a source snapshot based on beta client 1.60.1.70755 and source-reported hotfixes, imported November 6, 2026. Game updates may be newer; check the current game before relying on a build.
Can I save or share a Mage build?
Yes. Drafts and named builds stay in this browser when storage is available. A copied build link includes the class, level, allocation, and data revision, so an incompatible revision is not silently reinterpreted.
