WoW Forever Mage Dungeon Build
The Mage dungeon build for the Level 20 starter snapshot: a Frost utility-focused 11-point allocation, the control that groups want, and the class claims that stay assumptions.
What the route asks you to test
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.

BLIZZARD OCTOBER 1 NOTESOfficial
October 1 Beta changes for Mage
Official Beta announcement · Blizzard’s October 1 development notes
Fire Hot Streak was renamed Heating Up; Combustion returned to 3 charges from 4.
Improved Scorch’s Fire Vulnerability no longer gets a second resist roll, and Frost Winter’s Chill no longer rolls separately to resist after the spell hits.
Mage scrolls from comprehension were rebalanced and can no longer be cast while moving.
The live Beta level cap is 30. The imported 1.60.1.69913 talent tree is older than this announcement. Level 20 routes with 11 talent points are starting snapshots; a Level 30 allocation has not been verified against the updated tree.
Data sources, verification & planning limits
Talent positions and ranks are client records. Build allocations are editorial examples; performance is not simulated. Prerequisite rank rules may be derived assumptions.

Frost is the dungeon recommendation
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. Official source: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/wow-forever-beta-development-notes-%E2%80%93-updated-october-1/2360696
Frost Warding 2, Improved Frostbolt 5 and Ice Shards 4. All three selected-rank effects are reviewed against 69913; Ice Shards rank four states an 80% increase to the critical strike damage bonus of Frost spells. Compare the two Frost Warding ranks, five Improved Frostbolt ranks and four Ice Shards ranks with the area preset before changing the route. 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.
Utility and control first
The dungeon preset spends two points in Frost Warding, five in Improved Frostbolt and four in Ice Shards. The area preset drops Frost Warding and one Ice Shards point to allocate two Improved Frost Nova points and one Improved Blizzard point. This comparison identifies the selected talents; it does not verify spell availability or group-control performance.
Class utility that stays an assumption
Polymorph, conjured food and conjured water are class utility claims. This branch has no published Mage spellbook record, so they are planning assumptions here, not client-verified talents, and no rank for them appears in the allocation or the spend order.
Why no Fire alternative is listed
Fire is often offered as a dungeon alternative, but BuildForgeTools has not reviewed a Fire dungeon allocation for this Level 20 snapshot or the new Level 30 phase. The calculator can plan one manually; this page presents only the 11-point Frost route.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the dungeon build start with Frost Warding?
It is an entry-row node with published armor, resistance and Frost Ward reflection text. The editorial order allocates its two points first; that does not guarantee protection against every dungeon pull.
Is there a fire dungeon alternative?
No reviewed Fire dungeon preset is published yet, so only the Frost route is presented.
