Forever talents.
World of Warcraft: Forever rebuilds every Classic talent tree. Fourteen of the 27 capstones are new, whole rows got replaced, and the old weapon specializations are gone. Pick a class, spend your 51 points, and share the link before the beta opens on September 17.

How the trees work
- 51 talent points at level 60. Your first point comes at level 10.
- Each tier unlocks after five points in the tiers above it, so a 31-point capstone needs 30 points behind it.
- Arrows mark talents that require another talent at max rank.
- Nothing here is locked to a spec. Split 31/20, 30/21, or go full 51 into one tree.
Where the data comes from
The BlizzCon 2026 demo let players open every tree for all nine classes. This data was transcribed from that footage and from Blizzard's own slides, then compared talent by talent against Classic 1.12. Ranks the demo did not show are estimated and labelled as such in each tooltip.
Talent data from talentsforever.com (CC BY 4.0), export dated 2026-09-14. Game names, icons and tooltip text belong to Blizzard Entertainment. We will rebuild the trees when the beta client is out.
