Talent Calculator

The rules the calculator applies

• Points: The first talent point comes at level 10, then one per level – 51 at level 60. For every build the calculator shows the character level you need for the points you spent.
• Rows: Each row of a tree unlocks once 5 points sit in the rows above. You only reach the bottom row with many points in the same tree.
• Prerequisites: Some talents require a certain rank in another talent. In Forever a few of these arrows point sideways to a talent in the same row. Locked talents are greyed out and name the reason when tapped.
• Careful removal: You can only remove a point when no talent in a lower row and no dependent talent still needs it. The calculator blocks everything else instead of breaking the build.
• Legacy perk "Talented": It grants talent points from level 9 down to level 5 – but never more than 51 in total. It does not affect the level the calculator shows.

Step by step

1. Pick a class above. Every class page shows its three trees as tabs, plus the points per tree and the distribution, e.g. "31/20/0".
2. Left click a talent to add a rank, right click or Shift-click to remove one. With the keyboard: Enter adds, Shift+Enter, Delete or Minus removes.
3. Tap a talent to read the description of the current and the next rank – talents with the "New in Forever" badge do not exist in Classic Era.
4. Keep an eye on "Remaining" and "Required level". For a leveling build, spend as many points as your level allows.
5. Or load one of the 79 verified builds from Forever guides: pick specialization and purpose (raid, dungeon, PvP, leveling), then adjust.
6. Click "Copy link". The build sits in the "b" parameter of the address; whoever opens the link sees exactly your distribution.

Practical tips

• Plan the must-have talents of your main tree's bottom row first, then fill upwards – that way you notice early whether the points for the second tree suffice.
• From level 40 you can learn a second talent distribution at your class trainer for 10 gold and switch outside combat. Save two links, for example raid and leveling.
• For leveling builds the recommended builds show the order of points level by level – useful when you do not want to respec while leveling.
• Each specialization has its own respec fee, which slowly drops back to 1 gold over time. Test big changes here rather than at the trainer.
• The distribution from the calculator fits the raid setup planner and the sign-up in the raid planner: there you enter class and specialization of your character.
