QUESTIONS
Shaman talent FAQ
Rules, data provenance and what the Forever preview changes for your class. More on the Data Sources page.
How many talent points does a Shaman get in WoW Forever? +
Like every class: one point per level from 10, for 51 points at level 60. Tree tiers unlock at level 10 + 5 per row and need 5 points per row already spent in that tree.
What is new for Shaman in WoW Forever compared to Classic? +
The live beta trees carry 12 brand-new Shaman talents (Lightning Overload, Earthbound, Lava Burst, Mental Dexterity, …), 29 changed, 4 moved and 5 unchanged across your Elemental / Enhancement / Restoration trees, plus 8 Classic talents retired from the trees. See the change list above for details.
Do Shaman talent rules change in WoW Forever? +
The framework is pure Classic: 51 points, tier gates at 5 points per row, prerequisites must be filled before points go in, and dependent talents block removal. This calculator enforces all of it.
Where does this Shaman talent data come from? +
Extracted from the WoW Forever beta client (build 1.60.1.70009), with the tree layout synced against the live beta trees, and diffed against Classic Era (build 1.15.9.69722). Values shown are rank-1 live values. Details and known gaps on the Data Sources page.
