I've been messing around with the talent theory calculator I believe to be created by Eric E. Coe (WowRefugee). I love the system, and it is extremely helpful to plan ahead, and save your thoughts even if they're not fully developed. Though it is annoying having to ask other players for their opinion about the talent/ability before you get it & have to respec later.

 

*NOTE: I have messaged both WowRefugee & Irradiated about this topic; get a hold of them for faster results.*

 

If you agree with me, please vote in the poll I have created for you just for a visual response, I do still expect and encourage a comment.

 

Here are my suggestions;

(BULLET = DESCRIPTION/PROBLEM || NUMBERS = SUGGESTION/SOLUTION || LETTERS = GOAL)

• Instead of picking and choosing between talents that you're unsure of their potential use, and then having to respec because of it; why not create a Feedback system, where players could comment, vote up, and vote down a talent/ability so other players can be aware of that talent/ability beforehand.

               1.) Add an aside to the right of the talent tree, and let players vote. Also will have a link at the bottom to a separate page of just feedback(comments) and votes beside each talent/ability and maybe even class for PvP and PvE.

                    A.) I will personally create the entire aside, followed by a voting system, and then develop a player feedback section.

 

If you are in agreement, then please vote up. If not please voice your opinion, and see if we can reach an understanding before you vote down.

 

Thanks for reading,

 

Kevin

Sitting here with Eric (who is the original author, I've signed on recently to help out) now discussing the future of the Talent Planner.  There are a number of enhancements we'd love to see implemented.  Most important is a redesign of the URL format.

 

This idea is actually very similar to one we have logged in our Fossil CMS.  Although we were considering storing builds with comments, rather than individual talents (thank you Guthix for this suggestion).  Both are very involved, as they require implementation of back end data storage.

 

The problem is time.  We both have little time to play these days, much less enhance the planner (we get zero compensation for it).

 

Besides just waiting/hoping for more time, we've been considering a couple of options.  One is ads on the site, which immediately justifies more effort.  Another is going open source, exposing the repository and accepting patches.  Or both.

 

We'll keep everyone posted as we decide how to move forward.  And thank you for your interest!

Okay, as I've stated prior to your comment; I'd be willing to help out at no cost to you!

love to help on this guys

Some talents in TalentCalc still showing wrong info, just a heads up...

[Irradiated]

The only change we're aware of is for Unstoppable.  That will be fixed this weekend.  I truly appreciate if you know any specific talents or spells that need changing so I can take care of it at the same time.  Otherwise it will have to wait until next time one of us goes through the full list.

Flamelash (mage) now increases damage, no longer stuns.

[Irradiated]

New talent calculator release with the updated text for Unstoppable and Flamelash.  Unfortunately I don't have the time to go through all talents at the moment.  If you see any incorrect text, please post or PM me.

 

Thank you.

Sorry, maybe I dont have this correct, but I dont see descriptions of the talents in the calculator... what am I doing wrong, or are they not there?

The descriptions are shown in a tooltip when you mouseover a talent. If you're using a mobile device, you might not be able to see the description.

I would love this considering how I use talenttheory on a daily basis
