This web-based tool allows users to plan and visualize character progression within the original release of World of Warcraft. It enables the selection of specializations and the allocation of points across various talent trees, simulating the in-game leveling process and facilitating the creation of character builds. As an example, one can use this tool to determine the optimal distribution of points for a Fury Warrior or a Holy Priest before committing to those choices within the game.
Its significance lies in offering a risk-free environment for experimentation and optimization. Before investing considerable time and effort into leveling a character, players can use this resource to explore different build options, assess their strengths and weaknesses, and refine their strategy. This was particularly valuable in the early days of World of Warcraft, where respecing talents was costly and inconvenient. Therefore it gave power to the players, and helped the community discover the best builds for leveling and endgame content.
