Talent guidance from level 10 to 80 — a step-by-step leveling talent picker, plus top raid and Mythic+ builds from WarcraftLogs, all in your talent frame. One-click import. Updated daily.

Stop alt-tabbing to Wowhead, Icy Veins, or Raidbots to find the right talents. ZugZug brings level-by-level talent guidance for every spec and the most popular endgame talent builds from zugzug.info — sourced from thousands of top WarcraftLogs parses — directly into your in-game talent UI.

What It Does

ZugZug guides your talent choices through your entire character lifecycle:

• 🌱 Leveling (10–79): A floating banner shows the next talent to pick at every level, following a curated build order through your class, spec, and hero trees
• 🏰 Raid (80): Per-boss talent build recommendations from top WarcraftLogs parses, with one-click import
• ⚔️ Mythic+ (80): Per-dungeon and per-key-level build recommendations, also one-click import

Click any build to apply it instantly — no copy/paste of import strings, no leaving the game.

Leveling Guide

Below max level, ZugZug shows a "next talent to pick" banner with a curated talent order specific to your spec. The pick order follows community leveling guides (Wowhead, Icy Veins) and respects WoW's tree gate rows and prerequisite chains:

• Phase 1 (10–20): Class tree
• Phase 2 (~20–70): Spec tree
• Phase 3 (71–80): Hero tree

Every WoW class and spec is supported — 39 specs total, all with hand-tuned leveling pick orders.

Endgame Builds

• Raid builds with per-boss recommendations — see which build is best for each encounter
• Mythic+ builds with per-dungeon and per-key-level recommendations
• All classes, all roles — DPS, Healer, and Tank builds for every spec
• One-click apply — click a build to load it into your talent config and Apply
• Shift+click to copy the raw import string for use in Raidbots or Wowhead

Data Source

Build data comes from ZUGZUG.io — a web companion that analyzes top WarcraftLogs V2 rankings across every spec, clusters players by talent fingerprint, and identifies the dominant builds for every raid boss and Mythic+ dungeon. Data refreshes daily, and the addon ships with each day's snapshot bundled in.

You can also browse the same builds on the web:

• Raid builds: zugzug.info/warlock/raid, /mage/raid, etc.
• Mythic+ builds: zugzug.info/warlock/mythic-plus, etc.
