Sources & credits

Blizzard announcements, developer interviews and community work behind the site.

How to read the sources

Confirmed: Blizzard or a direct developer statement. Reported: press, hands-on or documented demo coverage. Unknown: not established. Rumor: unverified speculation.

Follow the original link for the full announcement or guide. Important disagreements and beta changes are explained beside the advice they affect. “Checked” is the date the source was reviewed, not a release date.

Talent calculator data

The talent calculator uses community talent snapshot for build 1.60.1.70425, dated 25 Oct 2026. Talent data comes from Talents Forever, adapted for ForeverAtlas under CC BY 4.0.

Warrior includes author-reported October 1–2 server hotfixes that differ from the client files. Older shared builds open with their original September beta or BlizzCon demo data; their saved point choices are preserved. The calculator identifies the snapshot you are viewing.

Warcraft spell icons and game imagery are credited to Blizzard Entertainment.
