Lich King Talent Calculator – WotLK / Wrath Talents
This Wrath talent calculator covers every class in Wrath of the Lich King, including the Death Knight. Spend your 71 points at level 80, see where you can reach the 51-point talent, and share the build with a link. It uses the final 3.3.5 talent trees, the same ones as WotLK Classic.

How to use the WotLK talent calculator
- Pick your class from the row of class buttons. Each class has its own page with its full talent list.
- Click a talent to add a point. Right-click or Shift-click removes one. On a phone, tap a talent to read it and use the + and − buttons.
- Watch the summary bar: it shows your points per tree (for example 51 / 20 / 0), points left out of 71 and the level the build needs.
- Copy build link to save or share the build. Anyone who opens the link sees exactly your points. Copy as text gives a short list for forums or Discord.
Talent rules in Wrath of the Lich King
You get your first talent point at level 10 and one more every level, which means 71 points at level 80. Each class has three trees of 11 tiers. To open a tier you need 5 points in that tree for every tier above it: 5 points for tier 2, 10 for tier 3, and 50 for the bottom tier, which holds the tree's 51-point talent.
Some talents also need another talent maxed first; the calculator draws an arrow between them, and the arrow lights up once the requirement is met. Removing points follows the same rules as the game: you can't take a point back if a deeper talent depends on it.
The calculator holds all 10 classes, 829 talents and 2,242 talent ranks of Wrath of the Lich King.
Lich King talents: what's different in Wrath
Wrath of the Lich King raised the level cap to 80, so a character has 71 talent points, and each tree gained two more tiers. The bottom tier, tier 11, holds a 51-point talent such as Bladestorm, Divine Storm, Chimera Shot, Penance, Living Bomb, Haunt or Wild Growth.
Wrath also added the Death Knight, the first hero class, with the Blood, Frost and Unholy trees, and patch 3.1 introduced Dual Talent Specialization, which lets you keep two talent builds and swap between them out of combat. Plan both specs here and keep the two links.
The trees were changed many times during the expansion. This Lich King talent calculator uses the final 3.3.5 trees, the version WotLK Classic ended on. If you searched for a "Wrath talent calculator", this is the same thing: Wrath, WotLK and Lich King all mean the same expansion.

Tips for planning a build
- Decide on one main tree. With 71 points you can reach only one 51-point talent, leaving 20 points for everything else.
- Look at the cheap tiers of other trees. The first two tiers often hold flat bonuses that are worth more than the last few points of a deep tree.
- Check hit and other caps. Talents that add hit chance lower the hit rating you need from gear. Our hit cap calculator takes them into account.
- Plan for levelling too. The required level shows when a build is complete. A build with 51 points in one tree is ready at level 60.
- Use the 20 spare points well. After a 51-point talent you have 20 points left, enough to reach tier 5 of a second tree.
