How many talent points does a Wrath Warrior have?

A level 80 Warrior in Wrath of the Lich King has 71 talent points: the first at level 10 and one more each level after that.

What are the Warrior talent trees in Wrath of the Lich King?

The Warrior has three trees: Arms, Fury and Protection. The deepest talent of each is Bladestorm (Arms), Titan's Grip (Fury) and Shockwave (Protection), and each needs 50 points spent in its tree first.

Can a Warrior take two 51-point talents?

No. Reaching a 51-point talent uses 51 of your 71 points, which leaves 20 for the other two trees. That is why most WotLK builds are one deep tree plus a few useful talents from a second tree.

Planning a WotLK Warrior build

Many builds put 51 points or more into one tree to reach its deepest talent, then spend the remaining 20 points on the strongest talents near the top of a second tree. Points in the first few tiers are cheap and often give flat bonuses, so "dipping" into another tree is usually better than spreading points evenly.

If you are levelling, check the required level in the summary bar: it tells you the level at which the build is complete (your number of points plus 9). Use Copy build link to save the build, and plan a second one for another role or your dual spec.
