Talent names above aren't clickable yet: their internal IDs (pulled from the client data) don't match a verified real Wowhead spell ID, so no tooltip is shown rather than risk linking to the wrong page.

Data source

WoW: Forever client tables (via wago.tools): levels, costs and cooldowns from build 1.60.1.70425, texts from build 1.60.1.70425. Values are computed from the game's own tables for a character without talents; when a text cannot be computed in full (a damage range, for example), only the Wowhead link is shown.

See also: the DPS simulator and the Item builder use this same data.
