Quick Guide
Six class guides include recorded examples: Fury Warrior, Protection Paladin, Marksmanship Hunter, Affliction Warlock, Frost Mage and Enhancement Shock Shaman. Each has different gear and talent prerequisites; the remaining classes and complete current-version routes are still being researched.
- Pick your class and open its recorded example below.
- Check the video's game version, talent points and collected equipment.
- Compare any current-menu tooltip with the cards and talents in your own run.
Choose a recorded build example by class, then compare its character's progression and game version with your own. These guides document individual recordings, not a tested ranking of the nine classes.

The Fury Warrior example shows a 20/31/0 character and explains the Rampage, Flurry and Bladestorm prerequisite chain displayed in the v0.126.0 menu. The Marksmanship Hunter example covers an 11/32/8 character and an Aimed Shot amulet.
For a Shaman option, the Enhancement Shock example follows a recorded 30/21/0 setup. For damage-over-time play, the Affliction Warlock example separates the player's planner from the choices shown in the recording. The Frost Mage example documents a Blizzard amulet and a recorded Naxxramas victory. Open each guide for its own video, version and evidence limits.
Compare the recorded setups
These point totals are finished talent screens, in each class's tree order. Results come from separate players, zones and versions, so the table helps you locate an example but does not rank their performance.
Swipe or scroll sideways to see the full table.

Check progression before copying
Each recording uses an established character with all 51 talent points earned. A new hero may have no points or collected gear, so a finished talent screen cannot serve as a point-by-point levelling order. The first-run guide explains the opening menu, while the class comparison lists the starting spells observed on fresh characters.
Versions, items and unfinished coverage
The game can change. Menu observations from v0.125.0 or v0.126.0 confirm only the specific tooltips we inspected, not an entire build's current performance. Check current descriptions and the equipment and Codex guide before relying on an older item's numbers.
The Paladin guide compares the v0.127.0 talent menu with a recorded 13/31/7 Protection example from v0.115.0. Rogue, Priest and Druid do not yet have dedicated recorded build examples here. We have not run a controlled nine-class comparison, established a current-best build or tested every proposed route through a full clear.
