This userpage serves as a collection of my thoughts on if each talent is interesting (ie does it meaningfully change your gameplay or provide a benefit that you actually want) and is balanced (ie is it useless or too good). The classes as a whole as well as each talent block (ie t1, t2, each tree) and each mutually exclusive choice are also evaluated. Generally speaking the assumption is that you want to take only two talents in each tier in order to reach the tree selection faster, and thus there is the consideration that you may take a talent in t1 or t2 at the opportunity cost of taking another, even though the game does not actually prevent you from doing so.
