Where these come from
Nothing on this page was typed. The Shaman trees — Elemental, Enhancement and Restoration, 61 talents and 194 ranks between them — are read straight out of the game client's own tables, and every tooltip is the game's own template filled from the game's own numbers. A tooltip the pipeline could not fill is a build failure here rather than a shipped guess, so a sentence you read on this page is a sentence the client would show you.
Read from the Burning Crusade Classic anniversary client, build 2.5.6.69795, compiled 2026-09-16. 61 points across 9 rows per tree by level 70.
The calculator above spends the points for you and keeps the rules: a row opens when the rows above it have enough points in them, a talent with a prerequisite stays shut until the prerequisite is filled, and the build rides in the address so a link you paste opens the build you made.
