Ming made an interesting post last night.

Like most people I'm very hungry for any and all information about WotLK and more than willing to share it. The below data seems partially realistic at least, even if it's unverified or confirmed.

These talents have a close resemblance to previous ideas posted by the community as well as several existing Diablo II talents and abilities. Keep in mind that all information is "alpha" and subject to heavy change even if it is real. Chances are the info is fake. But i won't withhold some nice speculation from you. Wishful thinking and all.

Sadly, no rogue or hunter information yet, only Deathknight, Druid, Warrior, Mage and Priest so far.

Well, here's the list, decide for yourself.

More talent details here. It's a bit messy though.

Reads more like a community wishlist than actual talents. Very little creativity.

Am i the only one that notices this "Netherwind Prescense" is actually the mage t2 bonus?

Your images of Deathknights are fakes... Seriously, if you are going to fake something... think about it... the biggest clue is the glaring BURNING CURSADE logo... instead of Wrath of the Lich King logo...

also, if you know anything about photoshop and image editing, it is VERY easy to see where you have cut and pasted things onto the loading screen.

Also, in the "Death Knight" box for racials on the creation screen, as seen on the human -helm image... there is nothing.

Don't make a fake unless you can make it extremely well.

I guess you're fairly clueless how certain things work. Sandbox or private servers have their own way of functioning.

And " I " as you so profusely claim, did not put together the images.
