Players will no longer accumulate talent points, instead each time a player reaches a level that is a multiple of 15, he\/she will unlock a new talent, a potential of six skills up to level 90.<\/p>\n<p>This makes the whole process a lot simpler \u2013 talent trees and specialisations are being done away with, and talents can be chosen independently of each other.<\/p>\n<p>Blizzard is posting this in order for players to provide feedback on the system, a kind of beta test without the ability to actually play the game. Thus before the system is actually implemented, players will be given a chance to let the developer know how they actually feel about it.<\/p>\n<p>You can find the talent calculator <a title=\"Blizzard\" href=\" http:\/\/us.battle.net\/wow\/en\/game\/mists-of-pandaria\/feature\/talent-calculator\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a title=\"PC Gamer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/2011\/11\/25\/mists-of-pandaria-talent-calculator-calculates-talent\/\" target=\"_blank\">PC Gamer<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New talent calculator posted on official site<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":27385,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[665,1033,1035,635,641],"class_list":["post-27501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","tag-blizzard","tag-mists-of-pandaria","tag-talent-calculator","tag-world-of-warcraft","tag-wow"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/165"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27501"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27501\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27503,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27501\/revisions\/27503"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
