Overview · Arcane
Talents
We only show a class's tree once two independent Forever sources agree on every talent. For the Mage, they disagree on 1 talent (for example Arcane Resilience), often because of Blizzard's late hotfixes. We'll add it once that settles.
WHAT BLIZZARD HAS CONFIRMED
- Three talent trees per class. First point at level 10, then one per level (51 at level 60).
- Each tree keeps its rows; one-point milestone talents at 11, 21 and 31 points, plus a new 16-point milestone.
- Many talents were reworked, moved or made baseline; some are unchanged from patch 1.12.
- Respec at a class trainer in a major city. Dual Specialization unlocks at level 40.

PREVIEW UNCONFIRMED: playstyle and stat priorities are general guidance, not confirmed for WoW Forever's reworked classes. Starter builds appear only for classes with verified trees: 31 points down the spec's tree and 20 in its partner tree, filled row by row. They're a starting point, not a tested build.

From the class skill lines in the WoW Forever game files (build 1.60.1.70707); talents are left out. Rank levels are cross-checked against the talentsforever.com spellbooks (CC BY 4.0) and Blizzard's deep dives; an orange ? means they disagree. Trainer costs aren't in the files. A few entries may not be trainable in the live game UNCONFIRMED. New players: see the Mage guide and leveling speed tips.
