Full rank descriptions remain available in the reference.

Call of Thunder
Increases the critical strike chance of your Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning spells by an additional 5%.

Rage of the Farseer

Restoration
16 talents. Browse all Restoration ranks.
Water Shield
The caster is surrounded by 3 globes of water. When a spell, melee, or ranged attack hits the caster or when one of the caster's spells gets a critical result, 2% of maximum mana is restored to the caster, expending one water globe. Only one globe will activate every few seconds. Lasts 10 min. Only one Elemental Shield can be active on the Shaman at any one time.

Summons a Mana Tide Totem with 5 health at the feet of the caster for 12 sec that restores 88 mana every 3 seconds to group members within 30 yards.
Nature's Swiftness

Riptide
Heals a friendly target for 445 over 15 sec, and increases the effectiveness of your Chain Heal casts directly on that target by 25%.
Point commitments
Rows require five points per preceding row in the same tree. A row-seven talent therefore needs 30 earlier points, plus the point spent on that talent. A 31-point main tree leaves 20 points from the level-60 budget for other choices. Named prerequisites must also be fully ranked.
Changes since September 26
New names: Trial by Fire, Lightning Mastery.
Names absent from the latest import: Improved Fire Nova, Lava Burst.
Names alone do not describe tuning. Review an old build for exact rank, position, condition and tooltip changes.

Shaman talent FAQ
Which Shaman data version does this page use?
Our November 3 revision combines the November 2 client export with Blizzard’s later launch notes. Supplied ranks include client tooltips and patch-note summaries. Exact new values absent from the notes are identified as unspecified. Old builds require review before migration.
Is this an official WoW Forever calculator?
No. Forever Talents is an independent fan tool using attributed community beta records. It is not affiliated with Blizzard.
Why is a talent locked?
The planner requires five points per earlier row and maximum ranks in any named prerequisite. Points in another tree do not unlock this tree. These are the planner’s current model rules.
Does this tell me the best build?
No. It helps organize an allocation, not simulate damage or rank builds. Beta values may change. A valid allocation does not simulate talent interactions or prove a build is strongest.
Where are my saved builds?
Only in this browser on this device. Clearing site storage removes them. Share links let you keep a portable copy without an account.
