# Talent plans

> Polestar's leveling talent plans for every class and spec: pick one, follow the marks on the talent frame, and get a reminder when a point waits.

Page: https://polestar.guide/docs/players/talent-plans (Polestar docs > Players)

Polestar has a leveling talent plan for every spec of every class in WoW: Forever: three per class, 27 in all, each an
ordered list of picks from level 10 to 60 with short notes on why. A plan never spends a point for you. It shows you
the next talent, and you spend it.

## Pick a plan

Type `/polestar talents` to open your plan, or pick **Talents** on the hub's rail (`/polestar guides` opens the hub).
Choose one of your class's three plans, or leave it on automatic: Polestar then follows the spec your gear advice
uses, else the talent tree where you have spent the most points. The choice is kept for each character.

## On the talent frame

With a plan chosen, the game's talent frame shows it:

- **A ring** on the next talent in your plan while a point is unspent.
- **Pick numbers**: where each talent comes in your plan's order (#1, #2, ...).
- **A flag** on points the plan does not spend, so a misclick stands out.
- **A line in each talent's tooltip**: where it comes in the plan, or that it is off the plan.

When a point is waiting, a chat line names the plan's next talent.

A plan is an order, not a schedule. The plans are written one point a level from 10, but Forever can hand out points
sooner (a Legacy talent can grant them from level 5), so the levels in a plan's notes read "around level N", and the
marks always follow the next pick whatever your level. Each plan was checked against Forever's own talent tree; if
an update moves or renames a talent the plan uses, the Talents section says the plan is out of date and the frame
shows no marks.

## Settings

Under **Options, Questing, Talents** ([every option](https://polestar.guide/docs/reference/options#talents)):

## Every class's plans

Each class page lists its three plans pick by pick, with their notes, beside the class quests and the class steps on
the leveling routes.

## Where the plans come from

The Paladin plans are adapted from a community talent site's leveling builds. The Warrior and Rogue plans adapt that
site's builds up to level 30, and the Druid and Warlock plans follow them to level 30 and are Polestar's own after.
The Hunter's Beast Mastery and Marksmanship plans follow the site's builds to level 20; Survival, and the Mage,
Priest and Shaman plans, are written for Polestar, with the site used only as a reference for Forever's new and
changed talents. Every note is Polestar's own wording. [Credits & data sources](https://polestar.guide/docs/reference/credits) names
