Build your talent route
Needs verification: the monitored original has changed since this planner snapshot. The tool still edits the dated v0.139.2 rules; recheck the current game before applying a plan.
Plan Mage or Warlock talents against the original v0.139.2 snapshot. Other classes remain in the class route index. Use your earned budget; the planner cannot read your game.
Add one point at a time. A row gate counts points already in that tree; its node costs another point. Refund removes the latest point in that talent and is blocked if it would break a later step.
Saving keeps one draft in this browser. Import accepts a planner export, not a game save, and reads it locally. A share link includes your notes; keep private information out. Planner privacy details →
Two editable starting examples
Both examples are editorial 31-point cores checked against the recorded v0.139.2 rules. Neither spends your last 20 points or claims a guaranteed card sequence.[1]
Fire: a 31-point core to adapt
| Points in this sequence | Talent | Rank reached |
|---|---|---|
| 1–5 | Improved Fireball | 5/5 |
| 6–10 | Improved Flamestrike | 5/5 |
| 11 | Ignite | 1/1 |
| 12–16 | Impact | 5/5 |
| 17–18 | Flame Throwing | 2/2 |
| 19–21 | Critical Mass | 3/3 |
| 22 | Hot Streak | 1/1 |
| 23–27 | Fire Power | 5/5 |
| 28–30 | Master of Elements | 3/3 |
| 31 | Pyroclasm | 1/1 |
Editorial example, not a best-build ranking. Leaves 20 points unallocated. Improve recovery or damage only after identifying the failure in your own run.
Affliction: a 31-point core to adapt
| Points in this sequence | Talent | Rank reached |
|---|---|---|
| 1–5 | Shadow Embrace | 5/5 |
| 6–8 | Improved Curse of Agony | 3/3 |
| 9–10 | Suppression | 2/5 |
| 11 | Nightfall | 1/1 |
| 12–16 | Improved Drain Life | 5/5 |
| 17–20 | Shadow Mastery | 4/5 |
| 21 | Contagion | 1/1 |
| 22 | Shadow Mastery | 5/5 |
| 23–25 | Amplify Curse | 3/3 |
| 26 | Siphon Life | 1/1 |
| 27–29 | Fel Concentration | 3/3 |
| 30 | Grim Reach | 1/1 |
| 31 | Seed of Corruption | 1/1 |
Editorial example, not a measured clear-rate or boss-damage winner. Leaves 20 points unallocated. Contagion needs a death; an isolated boss does not supply the same chain.
What the calculator checks
| Check | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Budget | Set 0–51 points, matching what your character has earned. The cap is shared across the three trees. |
| Row gates | Spend within the same tree first. A gate at 10, 20 or 30 does not include the additional point buying its node. |
| Named prerequisites | The checked rank is required, not just an earlier node name. Legion Gate needs Soul Devourer 3/3 or Soul Link 3/3. |
| Exclusions | Soul Devourer and Soul Link cannot coexist. Pact of the Nathrezim and Butcher cannot coexist. |
| Refunds | A point can be removed only if every later step remains valid. Remove dependent steps first. |
These are original-menu rules observed on 3 November. A valid sequence means the recorded rules passed; it is not a test of actual combat, gear unlocks or every later patch.[1]
Versions, saves and next checks
- Compare the version in your game with the planner snapshot. A newer source needs verification before applying an old allocation.
- Use the skill and equipment notes to record choices; they do not grant cards, gear or achievements.
- Keep a game-save export separately. A planner JSON file cannot be imported as a game save.
- Use the original client to inspect your actual ranks and starter after allocating.
