What this calculator can verify

This is a planning preview of the Priest trees shown in the BlizzCon demo. It is not a release-client extract. The source index contains 53 talents and 58 recorded descriptions across 148 rank slots. Missing ranks are displayed as unknown; they are never calculated by multiplying another rank.

The default budget is 29 points, matching the level 38 Priest shown in the demo. A custom point budget is a planning setting, not a verified level cap. Row access uses the provisional Classic rule of five points in earlier rows per tier. The displayed prerequisite connections come from screenshot transcriptions and have not all been tested in game. In particular, Divine Aegis requiring five points in Renewed Hope remains unverified.

Share links save allocations, budget and this snapshot version for this calculator. They are not in-game import strings. A future tree revision requires a new snapshot so an older plan cannot silently turn into a different build.

Primary checks use Joardee’s Priest demo and his Holy allocation footage. The remaining tooltip transcriptions are linked to the pinned screenshots beside each talent. Images use the site's existing Blizzard icon collection; icon reuse does not establish a spell ID or final launch behavior.
