You can have an unlimited (as far as I know) custom builds inside of each of the Build##.lua files. I have about 8 or so inside Build01.lua and have no problems accessing any of them. The biggest problem I saw with Talented when I loaded it to check it out is that it won't assign points for you like the Zygor Talent Advisor will. I like being able to tell it to spend the points automatically after I've gotten my build together so I don't have to think about it if I ding in the middle of combat. Talented works like all the online talent calculators where you can see what you want to do with a template but you still have to assign the points and half the time if it's a build I want to apply while leveling I don't always take stuff in a top to bottom order, so I feel this is the biggest downfall to Talented as it won't remember the order in which you assign the points while building your templates.

I think there are one or two mage builds in this thread for use with grouping.

ok i have tried all sorts of combinations for this build and it simply doesnt want to work for me. this is my latest error. the one before that said that Divine Strength wasnt a talent and the build was broken lol <3 coding!

i want the prot/ret build in the prot/holy format near the beginning of this forum. i have tried writing it all out longhand and the prot/holy spec did work but i dont want the holy part. i tried making the build exactly like the holy/ prot build subbing in the ret talents and it told me divine strength wasnt a talent. so what do i do?

Do me a favor and copy/paste the build as you have it in your Build01.lua file. Much easier to spot errors that way with the custom builds.

True, Talented does not remember what order you selected the points nor does it assign them for you. I was just hoping there could be some way to either interface with Talented or be built into the Advisor itself for it to be able to remember selection and apply in that order. Also I like the larger view.

Ok, I tried putting several in one .lua file and I could see them but I could not select them. Whenever I clicked on one it'd just stay on the one that was already selected. Is that because I've already been using a build (one of the defaults)? Can you not switch builds, even just to preview one? Is there something I'm missing or do I have to respec to select a new one?

**cabby** · January 14, 2010, 10:30 PM

It should allow you to switch between different builds no matter what. What is the very first line in your Build01.lua file?

R U referring to the old frost build that was online for sometime?
can you remember what page it was on?

That's because you made it too complicated :-). It's (# of points) -> (talent name) if that makes sense. Let me try and clarify...

(# of points) means how MANY points to put in, not which number it's currently on.

(talent name) is the name of the talent you want to modify.

Your code should look like this ->

Code:

if not ZygorTalentAdvisor then return end

what would be a good spell rotation for this build and how does it compare to the ingame PVE frost build 18/0/53?

**cabby** · January 14, 2010, 11:53 PM

There's a arcane build post #59 page 6 and another frost one on page 9. I'm not qualified to comment on rotations tho.

**koshea69** · January 15, 2010, 04:20 AM

Following the guides in here I came up with a new retribution leveling scheme that hits all the fun stuff first and then goes back and fills in the passive buff stuff when there's points to spare.

I love it already, just gotta remember to put your new buttons on your bar when you get them

Thanks Zygor!

The very first line is:"if not ZygorTalentAdvisor then return end" (without quotes) as previously mentioned in the thread followed by the two Paladin builds I found in this thread... everything was cut and pasted.

As I said I can see them in the selection dropdown but when I click on either of them it doesn't get selected. It keeps what was already selected. I can switch fine between the default builds though.

Here's what's in my file:

Ok, sounds more like some kind of bug in the Talent Advisor or possibly even another addon interfering with the Talent Advisor. We should see a new update soon and hopefully it will be working right after that.

**cabby** · January 15, 2010, 09:56 PM

I moved that post to the bug forum for you.

**1manarmy** · January 15, 2010, 11:42 PM

having some issues with the renaming of .lua file under windows 7 64 it keeps wanting to add .txt to the end of the file and the build will not show up in game

**cabby** · January 16, 2010, 01:47 AM

Hopefully someone with Win7 can let us know how to change the extension for you. I haven't played with that version yet so don't know personally what tricks would be needed.
