Warrior — Fury

The 20–30 stretch adds off-hand accuracy, then Death Wish at level 30. This path assumes dual wielding from level 25.

Paladin — Retribution

Seal of Command arrives at 20, Pursuit of Justice then speeds up travel, and Repentance completes this route at 30.

Hunter — Beast Mastery

The key unlock after 20 is Summon Hawk at 26, followed by Intimidation at 30. Pathfinding helps on long trips before a mount.

Rogue — Combat, solo variant

Riposte comes at 20, Flawless Execution at 25 and Blade Flurry at 30. All 21 points go into Combat; this replaces the mixed route from the first beta cap.

Priest — wand and Shadow

Mind Flay arrives at 22 and Vampiric Embrace at 27; the last three points go into Shadow Weaving. Upgrade your wand as you level.

Shaman — Enhancement

Stormstrike arrives at 25; Improved Stormstrike at 30 finally helps in-combat Mana recovery. Improved Ghost Wolf still saves time between quests.

Mage — Frost

Ice Lance remains the level-20 unlock; Ice Shards then Shatter strengthen hits against frozen targets. This updated route starts with Improved Frostbolt instead of five early points in Elemental Precision.

Warlock — Affliction

This route strengthens damage over time up to Siphon Life at 30. The last point favors self-healing over Amplify Curse.

Druid — Feral Combat

Shifting Power arrives at 25, Primal Bite at 26 and Leader of the Pack at 30. Cat-form movement speed comes earlier than in our old route.

Adjust the build to the character you are actually playing

A priest without a wand gets no benefit from Wand Specialization yet. A rogue attacking behind a tank may prefer the linked guide’s Backstab points. A hunter repeatedly reviving a pet has a practical reason to invest further in Improved Revive Pet. Start with the suggested path, then address the problem you encounter.

Early corrections in the calculator’s Reddit thread concern reading talent trees and ranks. We use the beta export here instead of reusing a Classic tree. Talent data adapted from Talents Forever by Chris Baldwin under CC BY 4.0; selection and explanations are our own.

Following a route with RestedXP or Zygor

Your build handles talent choices; a leveling guide helps with where to go next. RestedXP already receives Forever adaptations. Zygor targets launch. Our comparison covers availability and map tools for players who prefer choosing their own route.
