Mage talent trees at level 90
Mage has 3 specializations: Arcane, Fire, Frost. This class page starts with Arcane. Its hero choices are Spellslinger and Sunfury. The hero selector changes only the hero branch. Your class and specialization picks stay in place.

Available points are the sum of points earned at or below your chosen level. Each purchased rank costs one point in its own tree. Automatically learned talents cost no points. Points in your class tree cannot pay for talents in Arcane or either hero branch.
A arcane leveling example
At level 24, mage arcane has8 class points and 7specialization points. Spending 8 class points above the first gate opens its next section, provided you complete the connected talents. Spending those points in Arcanedoes not open the class gate. Your first Sunfury point arrives at level71.
Reaching the deeper arcane talents
Orb Mastery, Focusing Crystal, Evocation or Mana Adeptrequire 20 points above the last Arcane gate. Complete the connected path as well. To move points out of that path, refund these deeper talents first. A refund that leaves fewer than 20 points above the gate is blocked while a talent below it remains learned.
Comparing Evocation and Mana Adept
These Arcane options share an octagonal node with 1 rank. Choose the effect you need, then learn the rank. Replacing one option keeps the same point cost.
| Talent | Effect at its first rank |
|---|---|
| Evocation | Increases your mana regeneration by 1500% for 3 seconds. |
| Mana Adept | Arcane Barrage grants you 2% of your maximum mana per Arcane Charge spent. |
Importing, exporting and sharing mage builds
Paste a mage loadout into the loadout box and choose Import loadout. It opens the matching specialization, including Arcane, Fire, Frost. For this Arcane plan, Export loadout includes your class picks, specialization picks and chosen Spellslinger or Sunfury branch. Copy build link also keeps your level. Hover or focus a node to read it, click to learn, and right click to refund. On a phone, tap the node and use Learn rank or Remove rank.
Retail uses separate class, specialization and hero point pools. The older talent calculators linked above use three trees that share one pool, so their build strings are not interchangeable. Game updates can change talents and invalidate older loadouts. Check the build and data date before reusing a saved plan.
