What the Checks Mean

Five plans spend 21 points at level 30; the Protection starter spends eight and leaves 13 unassigned using the standard talent schedule: the first point at level 10, then one per level. The listed order checks every intermediate allocation against the published calculator's rank limits, row gates and prerequisites. It does not add extra points from the Talented Legacy perk.

The website projection checks each talent's counted-group spending conditions, direct prerequisites and alternative prerequisites. Buying points in another tree does not satisfy a condition restricted to this tree. Warrior Protection stops at eight supported points while the documented snapshot conflicts block later gates.

Open a plan to restore its allocation in the talent calculator. Changing that allocation edits your local plan; it does not change this directory or your character in the game. Use the linked class/spec guide for explanations of abilities and trade-offs.

Beta Plans and Level-60 Planning

These are original allocation test plans for the level-30 beta cap. Their legality checks are not gameplay tests, damage measurements or a class tier list. No plan is ranked above another, and the DPS, tank and healer filters describe the plan's intended role.

The full calculator also supports level-60 planning with 51 standard points. A deeper allocation is a future planning exercise, not a current cap-30 beta build. Neither the five full plans nor the partial starter spends the 31 points needed to reach a bottom-row capstone.

Read the Tree, Then Choose Your Points

The rank list identifies every talent selected by a plan. The spend order shows how to reach the final allocation from level 10; the five full plans show every point through level 30, and the Protection starter stops after its eight supported points. Existing class guides explain the broader toolkit, and each plan links its own spec guide.

Choosing a Leveling Route

Talent choices and quest routing solve different problems. If you need an in-game route while testing a leveling plan, start with the RestedXP Forever guide, then consider Zygor Guides or the RestedXP and Zygor comparison.
