How to use the talent calculator

· By Mission

Spend the points

Open the talent calculatorTalent calculator9 classes and 27 talent trees and pick a class. Click a talent to learn a rank; right-click, Shift-click or press minus to take it back. On a phone, tap a talent to open its card and use its − and + buttons. Resting the pointer on a talent shows its tooltip, and the talents it names light up in the trees.

Each tree’s head counts its points, and the foot of the window shows the points left and the level the build needs. The calculator also keeps the order you spent the points in, which sets the level each talent’s spell arrives at.

Race, professions and stats

Beside the trees the build has three tabs:

  • Race: pick a race to see its racials and what they give; Compare races lays every race side by side.
  • Professions: pick two and see what each gives the character, and what only its own crafters can use.
  • Stats: what the racials, talents and professions add up to, grouped by what they improve.

Talents only puts the tabs away when you just want the trees.

Keep and share it

Copy build link copies an address with the whole build in it: the talents and the order of the points, the race and the professions. Anyone who opens it sees exactly what you made. Save build keeps it on this device, listed under the Race tab, and Reset all starts again.

Under the window, the build’s spellbook lists the spells it has, and the team builder lays out a party or a raid of builds.
