Where this comes from

Tree layout, ranks and the Classic comparison are read from two game clients: the Forever beta (build 1.60.1.70532) and Classic Era (build 1.15.9.70576). Forever's per-rank tooltip text comes from Talents Forever's data export (CC BY 4.0), which checks each rank in game. The files alone don't say whether a talent stores its per-rank or its full-rank value, so we use theirs.

It's still the beta. Numbers can move with any build.
