The 11-point route
Blizzard's October 1 Beta development notes raised the playable cap to Level 30. These 11-point Mage routes preserve the initial Level 20 snapshot, and no Level 30 allocation is verified here.

Improved Frostbolt 5, Ice Shards 4 and Improved Frost Nova 2. Five points in Improved Frostbolt open the second row; four points then go in Ice Shards and the final two in Improved Frost Nova. This reviewed Level 20 starter allocation spends 11 points. Blizzard raised the playable Beta cap to Level 30 on October 1; this route is not a reviewed Level 30 build.
Compare the single-target allocation
Compare the four Ice Shards ranks here with five in the single-target preset. Talent ranks remain selected until you edit or reset the planner. The reviewed 69913 text gives an 80% Frost critical strike damage bonus at rank four and 100% at rank five. This is the talent’s stated bonus, not a claim about total damage or a reason to save ranks for a combat moment.
Compare the area allocation
The area preset keeps five Improved Frostbolt points and two Improved Frost Nova points. It moves one of this route’s four Ice Shards points into Improved Blizzard. Load both presets to inspect that one-point tradeoff; the talent allocation does not establish spell-learning levels or a verified farming rotation.
What the rank count establishes
Improved Frost Nova has two allocated ranks here, both in the same node. Its reviewed 69913 rank-two text reduces Frost Nova’s cooldown by 4 sec. A talent point count does not establish how many times a spell can be cast, a guaranteed root duration or a complete kiting kit.
