Dual spec from level 40
From level 40 you can learn a second talent setup and switch between them – plan one build for raids and one for levelling or PvP, for example.
Warrior talents: trees, roles and what is new
Plate-wearing melee fighter that builds Rage from dealing and taking damage. Arms and Fury deal damage with two-handed or dual-wielded weapons; Protection is the classic main tank. The calculator contains the three Forever talent trees of the Warrior – Arms, Fury, and Protection – with 52 talents in total, 10 of them new in Forever (client build 1.60.1). You get one point per level from level 10, 51 at level 60.
Specializations and roles
- Arms (Damage): 17 talents, 3 of them new in Forever.
- Fury (Damage): 17 talents, 4 of them new in Forever.
- Protection (Tank): 18 talents, 3 of them new in Forever.
The calculator counts the points per tree and shows the distribution, e.g. "31/20/0". If no tree is clearly ahead, the build counts as hybrid. The role your character takes in a raid follows the tree with the most points – that is what you enter as specialization when signing up in the raid planner.

How to use the calculator
- Pick the tab of the tree you want to start with. Left click adds a rank to a talent, right click or Shift-click removes one; with the keyboard use Enter and Shift+Enter.
- Each row unlocks once 5 points sit in the rows above. Locked talents name the reason when tapped – missing points or a prerequisite talent.
- Keep an eye on "Remaining" and "Required level". For a leveling build, spend only as many points as your level allows.
- "Copy link" shares the build; it is part of the address. From level 40 a second link for dual spec is worth having.
