I wouldn't consider those "accurate" simply due to the number of typos. Sounds like someone just wanted to stir up some drama with those.

There's also a amalgamated screenshot running around with completely different talent suggestions, and (besides the 41-point Arms talent) I think it's fairly possible they're real. I certainly hope the Protection talents are real, at any rate :)

You can find the screenshot at http://home.comcast.net/%7Ebeefstu/wartalents.JPG

Look for a post with 104,000+ views (and counting) and you'll find lots of information/debate on the potential tree's for many of the classes.

/Sigh, another talent thread. I don't think there needs to be another.

Worldofraids.com has better screenshots (and a better host).

DK - Ashbane Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.

I figured that Warrior talents would be in that giant thread somewhere, but it's probably simpler to discuss each class in its own thread, rather than having hundreds of people talking about several different, vaguely related topics in a single thread, right?

There was a nearly identical topic made two hours ago. It was locked on the basis that there's no real point for individually discussing information by class until the information is 100% confirmed by a Blizzard news release.

No. When we get some confirmation from Blizzard or something in a more final form, people can banter all they want about specific classes. But I don't want 9 different threads about different talents and skills that may or may not be accurate or even real (ok, make that 7 -- haha hunters and priests). I locked a thread identical to yours a short while ago.

PS: Fill out your profile. Seriously.
