Project:Talent data

TALENT SOURCES & COVERAGE

The current reference uses a licensed community export of Forever beta-client data. Its build and source labels distinguish it from the earlier BlizzCon demo transcription.

Current beta coverage

The 19 September 2026 export from Talents Forever, reviewed here on 20 September, supplies 468 class talents across nine classes and 27 trees, plus 21 named Legacy perks. Every named record has an article. Six additional Legacy slots are unnamed placeholders and have no invented names or effects. Start at Talents or Legacy perks.

The source identifies client build 1.60.1.69876. Its build history reports no talent, spell, or Legacy table changes in subsequent builds 69893 and 69913. That is the source's comparison; this wiki has not independently extracted those clients.

Rank evidence

The export contains all 1,322 class-talent ranks and 69 named Legacy ranks. The source marks these records as beta data. Articles label this Source reports beta-client data, which means the import matches the supplied record, not that a wiki editor has tested each rank in combat. No missing rank has been filled through interpolation.

A client tooltip describes data, not necessarily correct live behavior. Read Beta known issues before interpreting test results. A rank above the current playable level cap can exist in the client without being available for a beta test today.

September 20 source corrections

The new export corrects Resourcefulness to a 30%/60% trigger chance and Lightning Reflexes to 3%/6%/9%/12%/15% Agility. These are corrections between source snapshots, not a claim that a Blizzard hotfix changed those values on that date. The remaining talent and named Legacy records match the earlier beta export. Cultivation also gains an explicit 1-hour cooldown in the racial source.

Spellbooks uses a separate, explicit beta-only selection of spell records and explains its exclusions.

September 23 source recheck

The licensed export retrieved 23 September is generated 20 September 2026 and still identifies build 1.60.1.69876. The complete talent and Legacy sections match the September 20 retrieval: no active talent names, ranks, positions, prerequisites, or Legacy perks changed. Unchanged articles retain their earlier snapshot dates.

Three talent articles now include source-listed weapon requirements that the earlier article snapshot omitted: Spearing Strike requires one of the listed two-handed weapon types, Holy Shield requires a shield, and Mutilate requires daggers. Their source dates identify the reviewed replacement records.

The updated spell reference adds 21 Rogue poison and Blinding Powder recipe ranks, including two level-20 entries in Rogue spellbook. Touch of the Grave also has a corrected source proc split: 10% for casters and 5% for melee. These are source corrections and coverage additions, not claims of new game hotfixes. The source’s note about Instant Poison IV’s conflicting charge count is retained beside the record.

The new snapshot SHA-256 is 534dbbf8d629dbf47b1a0613c124ce9be5bf83ccf63ba9d5c4d190076395d2e3. Original licensed export · Search all accepted beta records.

Earlier records

The retained September 16 demo snapshot contained 470 class talents and 20 named Legacy perks. Its rank confirmations referred to footage, with incomplete and estimated descriptions. Those statuses must not be read as beta verification.

The new snapshot replaces Restless Blades with Flawless Execution and Drain Hope with Wrack. Vitality and Balance of Nature are absent from the active beta catalog. These four old pages retain their historical evidence in Category:Historical talents; they do not count toward the active total.

Naming and relationships

Shared talent names use class-qualified titles, with a selection page at the shared name. All 69 active prerequisite links resolve within their class and tree. Row and column positions are one-based. Legacy names use “(Legacy)” to distinguish them from ordinary spells; their articles include supplied allocation gates, prerequisites, and rank text.

Spellbooks, racial abilities, and class-ability summaries are separate fields in the source. Their presence in the same export does not automatically give them the same evidence status as talent records. Older demo summaries and Classic fallback descriptions are not silently promoted to current beta mechanics.

Attribution and reuse

Data adapted and reformatted from Talents Forever by Chris Baldwin, JSON export dated 2026-09-19, under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. The wiki reformats records into articles, indexes, rank tables, and semantic properties. Game names, icons, and tooltip text belong to Blizzard Entertainment; the dataset license does not license Blizzard artwork. Neither source authors nor Blizzard endorse this wiki.

The original export is retained with SHA-256 fcb1346dfee8e1d7a51bb0b0e45b1e8b4133cd033d72ddbe92f3c0653072894c. The checksum identifies source bytes, not gameplay accuracy. Source links lead to a living site that may change after this snapshot.

Corrections

Cite the exact client build, source, and affected rank when proposing a change. Preserve the distinction between a tooltip, a known issue, and an observed result. Project:Beta verification provides a compact evidence form; Project:Data policy defines review statuses.

Publication compares existing revisions with the retained baseline and uses revision guards, so a conflicting contributor edit stops replacement for review.
