Are you a new player in World of Warcraft? If you are new to WoW, do you know how to get the talent in your game? Just take a peek at this post about a player who purposely skipped training his talent points, just to see what would happen. If you read through the comments after the post, you'll find plenty of players who missed training their talents along the way.
Which talents will you choose for your character? It can completely change the way you play the game. Your "spec" (specialization) is determined by where you've distributed your points among the three talent trees available to your class. So-called "hybrid" classes such as Druids or Paladins take on entirely different roles depending how they are specced: tanking, DPSing or healing. For other classes, spec is more of a flavor tool that determines how your character goes about doing his or her thing. On the official site, Blizzard's Talent Basics page offers all the nitty-gritty information you need to actually train your talent points. You can come to there to have a look.
Beginning at level 10, you'll get one talent point to spend each time you level.
There are more available talents to "buy" than you will receive points to use. Choose carefully!
The talents and overall spec you will find useful as you level may be completely different than the spec that will serve you best once you've hit level 80 and begin raiding or PvP.
You can change your mind – at a cost. You can unlearn your talents at your class trainer for a fee that rises each time you unlearn them within a given period.
At some point -- from the very start, if you're the analytical type – you'll want to explore the possibilities of different specs. Wowwiki has a down-and-dirty basic run-down of all the basic specs for each class. Don't be afraid to experiment with both individual talents and entirely different specs. There are quite a few places to learn more about the strengths and weakness of different builds. We like wowwiki (search on your class) and the stickied threads at the top of your class' forum in Blizzard's class forums. Also, you can toy with various combinations outside the game, before committing to a combination you might regret later. Try Blizzard's talent calculator or the calculators at wowhead.com (preferred by many).
Talents are so important that you must learn, feel free to come there Wowwiki or wowhead.com, you can learn more from there. One friend give his opinion: It used to be that the cost would increase until you hit the maximum possible cost you can incur, (50 gold, in case you're curious) then stay there forever. However, many patches ago, Blizz changed it so that your cost decays over time. Every month that your cost is over 10 gold, your cost is reduced by 5 gold... but only to a minimum of 10 gold. In effect, you can respec once a month without your cost going up. Or, if you go a long time without respeccing, your cost will eventually lower to just 10 gold. Respec often, and you'll probably be shelling out 50 gold every time.
Anyway, come to learn more skills in talents, it is useful for you!
