Talented adds spec templates to the Talent UI.

Talented 3

Talented is getting a large update for wow 4. It will no longer replace the default UI but add a new Tab to it, with most of the previous functionality present.

There is an alpha release available on wowace. It's still missing some major parts, but it should give you an idea of the new interface.

Talented_Loader is no longer needed (and in fact will create problems if left installed, so remove it at once).

Update feature List

Create and view templates for all classes and all pet types.
Set a specific template as a target, and see it when you're spending your next talent point on level up.
Apply complete templates with a single click, after a talent wipe.
Hunters can view the spec of their pet and apply templates to them.
Share your current build with other, or any template you've made.
Import templates directly from the Blizzard Talent calculator, wowhead or wowdb.
Export templates as URL to wowhead, wowdb or the Blizzard Talent calculator.
Allow pet templates to be imported from and export to wowhead pet calculator.
Inspection of other characters will also inspect their alternate spec, if they have one.
A macro command /talented apply <template> allows to automatically apply a template based on its name.

Talented is not saving my templates properly -- they revert to older versions frequently. Should I just make new templates?

Is it really that difficult to select your spec and go actions -> copy template?

Seriously, spend the 5 minutes it takes to learn how to use the addon before you start QQing about it.

Application is not "stupidly" difficult to use.

How hard do you imagine adding stuff to Talented is ? Care to submit a patch ?

As little as I actually want to help you, I have really no idea what you mean by "save as". This just doesn't make any sense to me.

Application is stupidly difficult to use.

Given that I already have both a primary and an alternate set of talents defined, how hard could it be to add a "save as" button?

I miss the wowace days... since the curse merger it seems like there's less developer collaboration.

Any chance Talented will be hosted elsewhere other than just curse.com? I'd like to still be able to install this through wowmatrix and not curse's crappy installer.

Talented is also hosted on wowinterface. I do not like wowmatrix. They can host Talented if they want, but I won't help them in any way.

You should really not use wowmatrix, and stop supporting them. You should support Curse if you like Talented, as you would never have Talented without the support of curse and wowace.

I disagree, it didn't change much, except it's even easier for author to submit new versions and to control the distribution of their addon.

Thanks, starting to get the hang of it. One thing that wasn't obvious was how to switch the Glyph view. I could see the text to switch to alternate glyphs but didn't see the checkbox next to it. Does the WoW checkbox allow you to click its text to toggle the check?

I'm noticing that Talented isn't recognizing when a player (either myself or another player) has Scourge Strike (Death Knight, Unholy, Tier-9, far right)

This is still probably an issue with Blizzard's Talents. (I do have a Unholy DK, and I don't see Scourge Strike either with Blizzard_TalentUI or Talented.)

Try it again after the next minor patch, 3.1.1, that is supposed to hit fairly soon. One of its purpose seems to be fixing talent issues.

I ran into an issue last night with dual specs on a hunter and the Pet Talents tree. My main spec only allows my pet to have 16 talent points where as my secondary spec allows it 20 points. When I try to apply a template to my pet for the 20 points, Talented complains that it can not apply the template since my pet does not have enough talent points available (Need 20). I was able to edit the current spec and assign points, however I had to do them blindly since Talented was not reflecting any of the points I was assigning. I only know that it got the abilities from the messages thrown into the chat frame of it learning x skill. Now I was a bad tester and did not try and spec my pet with the default WoW Frame. I plan on replacing the pet it heppened to tonight, so I will try doing everything with default and then post abck the experience, but I wanted to post this here so that you were at least aware that an issue exists.

In Talented 2.1, you will be able to clear the target directly in the Action Menu while looking at your character spec. I agree that the current solution is not obvious and I hope that this change will make it easier for everyone to do it.

I'm a great fan of Talented and really appreciate all the work you put into it, Jerry!

May I ask one question? I've used one of my templates with the set target menu function but I can't get rid of it (the set target view) anymore. How do I unset a template?

Regards,
Highend

Select the target template. The Action Menu should show that it is the target by checking the corresponding menu entry. Clicking on it will deselect the target.

There are a few indicators that will help you determine whether you're looking at a spec or a template.

First, the "name" part at the top of the frame will be editable and green for templates, and non-editable and gold for specs. Also, the checkbox will say "template" when you're looking at a template and "Talents" when you're looking at your current spec. The checkbox is invisible when looking at the other spec.

Something that's not clear to me is whether I'm looking at a template or whether I'm looking at applied talents, or my alt spec. Is there a visual indicator of this that I'm not seeing? (Same for pet screen, as well.)

Also, how do I switch between pet and player displays? Sometimes I see a tab but it hasn't be consistent.

(Was using r525, just updated to r529 as I typed this.)
