Leveling order

Expanded main tree first, top-down; every step satisfies prerequisites and tier gates. This is a historical allocation reference, not a tested optimal leveling route; the beta level cap is not a talent-point budget.

Class deep dive

2026-09-27Mage Specs Analyzed: Vanilla 60 / Forever 60 / WotLK 80The deepest talent trees on the site (18/17/19 rows), one genuinely new active — Frostfire Bolt — and a full adoption of WotLK trigger mechanics: Hot Streak, Fingers of Frost and Missile Barrage are all in, while not a single 41-point capstone survives.
