Wowhead unveils new talent calculator

The talent calculator was Wowhead’s original feature, and it’s been a good friend through WoW’s development. So it is with a heavy heart that I announce that Wowhead is shutting down the talent calculator.
Nah, just kidding: they released an awesome new version today. The new version of the Wowhead talent calculator, in addition to looking even spiffier than usual, has a few added features:
- Glyphs, like the MMO-Champion calculator has had for a while (but prettier, of course)
- Auto-updating URL – no more need for a “link to this” button
- “Restore” button will reset a calculator if you got there from a link and then altered it
All talents are now updated for patch 3.1, as well. The pet talent calculator has gotten the same treatment as the main talent calculator, with auto-updating URLs and a Restore button.
The only thing I don’t like about the new talent calculators is the way you select your class/pet family; it used to be a text list, and now it’s an icon grid, which I find harder to use quickly, especially in the case of the pet calculator. But it’s a small complaint.
