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.

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.
