It’s easy to use this site!

1. Go to the main site (click here)
2. Click on your class on the left sidebar
3. A list of the most popular talent builds, glyphs, gear, enchants and gems for your class is shown.
4. Click on one of the headings to see more information on a section you are interested in.

You can customize your search to show only a specific spec (or multiple specs for the one class) by clicking on the specs on the left of the page. You can also customize to your playstyle; see below.

Playstyles

As well as scanning talents from the armory, the system also checks the character’s gear and chooses an appropriate playstyle.

• “Raid” indicates most gear has come from raiding either 10 or 25 man dungeons.
• “PvP’ indicates most gear has been attained from honor or marks in Arenas or Battlegrounds.
• “Mob” indicates most gear has dropped from a mob that has been killed in the game (other than Raid bosses or trash). Usually instance mobs.
• The “Quest” playstyle means most gear has come from completing quests
• “Crafted” indicates most gear has been crafted from professions. This link is most useful for finding what crafted gear you can create for your character before heading into raids.

Playstyles are split in the system because PvE specs are usually different from PvP specs. Click on the playstyle that matches your preference to see the most popular builds for that playstyle. If no playstyles are checked, all are shown.

Seeing More Information

Some categories (like gear, gems and enchants) have an additional filter for either a gear slot, or a gem color.

Talent Builds

To see the specific talents for a build, click on Talents at the top left of the page. A list of popular talent builds for your chosen class and spec are displayed. Click on either icon in the “Show” column. The left icon shows the build on the WowHead site, whereas the right icon takes you to the Blizzard talent site.

The “Differences” column shows the talent differences between similar builds. Using this column, you can quickly see the differences between two builds. If the column only contains the word Build with a number, the build is a core build used to compare with other builds. If the column shows talents with plus and minus signs after a build number, it is showing the talent changes between the build on this row, and the core build with that number. For instance:

Build 1 +2 Improved Sinister Strike -2 Lightning Reflexes

Shows the build on this row has replaced 2 of the Lightning Reflexes talent points in Build 1, with 2 points in Improved Sinister Strike. All other talent points are identical.

Glyphs

Click on the Glyphs link on the top left of the page to show the popular major and minor glyphs chosen for your character.

Gear, Enchants and Gems

Similarly, click on either the Gear, Enchants or Gems links at the top left of the page to show the most popular gear for each slot, enchants for each slot, and gems per color. All lists change according to playstyle (PvPers usually show resistance gear and gems with little Hit stats) and spec (Healers don’t use hit, while rogues don’t use Spell Power).
