I didnt really explain myself there.

Lets assume your talent build looks something like this : http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=LhrLzAboxbz

The talent Mortal Strike gives you an active ability, i.e one that you have to activate. So you would put that ability on your action bar (drag and drop from your Spells and Ability book - default shortcut key P to open that).

As you gain levels you will have to learn new ranks of Mortal Strike from your class trainer (which you have to pay for).

Now, lets assume you want to redistribute those talent points. Go to your class trainer and choose to unlearn your talents. You will now have to choose all talents again. However you will have to pay for any ranks above Rank 1 of any abilities you have access to.

E.g. A level 60 warrior will have access to 4 ranks of Mortal Strike, so everytime s/he unlearns talents they will have to pay for 3 of the 4 ranks of MS again (assuming they choose MS in their new talent build).

Things such as Battle Shout & Demo Shout cannot be unlearnt as they are core skills and are avilable no matter the talent setup (assuming the player has the correct level and has originally learnt them from the class trainer).

The cost of relearning abilties isnt too bad, however each time you respec your talents it will cost more gold, upto a current limit of 50g. This amount will decrease by 5g per month down to around 10g, assuming you dont respec for a few months.

That sounded complicated but its not. Go ahead and respec, but remember to talk to the class trainer afterwards to make sure you get the highest ranks of everything. I remember respecing slightly before a BWL raid, getting upto Chrommagus before noticing that I was still using rank 1 Aimed shot  

*edit - Heres some fun that can be had in WoW : http://www.somethingawful.com/d/art-of-warcraft/epic-mounts-love.php?page=1  :bowdown:

Indeed it sounds more complex than it is and the summary is all you really need to know... Make sure you talk to a trainer after a respec

The problem with talents is you dont really know whats worth it untill you get to a higher level (sometimes 70) so you will prob find yourself respeccing alot over time. Another choice is look at the warrior (or whatever class you are) section on somewhere like www.wowwiki.com and look at some example talent builds and their discrption to see what sounds good to you and base your talents on one of those templates

lol, that link is mint WG.

Thanks again for the adive guys

very funny link WG, made me lol.

Update on my wowness: I started a hunter to play with my girlfriend so were the same level, and started a paladin to play with another friend so were the same level.

The paladin is loaaads of fun, really enjoying it. My rogue and warlock arent getting much attention because my guild isnt very active and its hard to get a party for instances, shame :/

Well I started my 10th toon last night... a 2nd paladin. Not really sure why other than Im getting very annoying (and poor) paying 100g - 200g to respec my main every week to do some ret arenas

Prob get him to 30 and get bored like my priest, warrior, rogue and mage.

RetNAB! Just kidding.   :mutley:

Any comments on the up and comming SOC changes? (Spell damage wont have an effect).

indeed Retlol, Im still fighting for us to recruit a well geared ret for the buffs it will give (+3% crit to raid, +2% dmg to group, +12% threat for tankadin, extra set of blessings, ability to keep judge of light, wisdom and crusader on boss by himself, quite good dmg now)

Since the buff to give them a 30% threat reduction they seem alot more viable in a raid environment but with 25mans its hard to find a place for them over a pure DPS.

The SoC change is going to be... interesting. If you look at the community its being argued from both sides. By change SoC to not use spell dmg you help paladin itemization becuase its a stat they can drop off gear (loose the Spell dmg and focus on AP/Crit) but alot are saying its going to nerf the overall dmg for the T5/T6 people.

Blizzard will have to change all the teir and pvp gear to reflect the SoC change as spell dmg will become pretty useless except for the few SoR retadins out there (FAIL! )

Being horde I get SoB which is overall a better PVE spell as it does more dmg and also means you get a small amount of healing giving you some mana back. SoC for PVP only

Well, my Pally is now geared well enough to heal all the way through Kara, and as Im taking a break from raiding, Im stuck for something to do.

Ah well.

Ret is more fun when not doing main spec as its very different, plus the gear is easier to get hold of.

Either level another alt or start working towards a ret set (ragesteel set, pvp boots, bracers, belt, and then Gorehowl/Dispair from kara are all a good start) If you cant get one of the 2hs from kara or the 2h mace from gruuls then there are a couple BoE BS weapons you can look at, I just got the recipe for a epic sword that drops in Heroic Ramps that looks quite good

Bit bored of DPS, got an uber hunter for that. Bored of tanking too, got a warrior for that.

Oh noes, Im getting bored of this game! Ill have a couple of weeks off and get back into it Im sure.

Well, nearly at level 39 now. Might not get to play much over the weekend, but deffo beginning of next week Ill have my mount hopefully!

mt interesting experience this week: RFC! haha, i know, lame instance, but its the first time ive done RFC with decent people who werent noobs, but also werent pro (twats) making out that theyre leet and everyone else is thick.

So yeah, had a good run of rfc for the first time of my life, really enjoyed it. no good pala gear tho RFK son, normally has lots of mail gear

also the new blood elf land, silvermoon is it? I find is much busier/friendly than barrens etc, maybe its because unlike the barrens you dont get lots of lvl 40s running through etc, if youre in ghostlands, the only real reason is low lvl grind. Which makes it easy and unintimidating to find a group lovin it.

Grats on the group, I really enjoy it when pugs work out and esp if you end up doing a few things together. Also i agree that ghostlands is a great place, its so nice to be able to skip barrens after so many times doing it

Update on my progress in the game... Guild did 1 shotting Void Reaver and Solarian last night and then downed Alar for the 1st time

Next sunday...Hydross!

Got my tier5 shoulers (pink ftw!) and trash ring

Well got my mount yesterday. Went for the striped nightsabre, which is nice! Still at level 40, but would like to get to level 45 by next Saturday, but dont know if im going to be able to get that high by then as im working all week.

Ive only done one instance which was Deadmines........do you normally get XP for doing instances? Or does it depend on what level you are? I did DM when I was new at the game, and didnt know what I was doing really. Then I just thought Id run though it again last night on my own, but didnt get anything for doing it. Is this because im too high level now, or because ive already done it? Think im going to do Scarlet Monastery soon! Need to get a team together though.

you can get a ton of XP in the right group - ie a group that dont have people quiting every 5mins. Run a dungeon through should pick you up anything from 50k-150k, Make sure you pick up all available missions for the instance dungeon though.
