FAQ
Is this the real WoW Forever Mage talent tree?＋
Yes. The trees are read from the Forever game client's own data tables (build 1.60.1.70790), so names, ranks, tiers and prerequisites match what you see in game. We update them when a new build changes talents.
What changed for Mage talents compared with Classic Era?＋
By name, Arcane gains Improved Channeling, Arcane Geometry, Arcane Impact, Arcane Shielding and loses Improved Arcane Missiles, Improved Arcane Explosion, Magic Attunement, Improved Mana Shield; Fire gains Accelerant, Incineration and loses Improved Fireball, Incinerate; Frost gains Precision and loses Elemental Precision. Numbers inside unchanged talents can differ too, so read the tooltip before copying an old build.
What are the Mage 31-point talents?＋
Arcane: Arcane Power. Fire: Combustion. Frost: Ice Barrier. Each needs 30 points spent in its tree, which means at least level 39.
How do I share my build?＋
Press Copy link. The link keeps both the ranks and the order you clicked, so whoever opens it sees the same build and the same level-by-level order. Copy for Discord gives a short text summary with the link.
Can I import a build from another calculator?＋
Paste the other site's link or its rank string (for example 2300-05) into Import. Most classic calculators use the same rank-string shape, so it usually works; anything the Forever rules don't allow is dropped.
