I still use the Talented_Data repository to maintain the script that generate the data used by Talented proper.

Why is T_Data still updated? Are there still any benefits using the Data?

Report typos and errors in descriptions to Blizzard via the Bug Report Forum, otherwise they will not be corrected! // but blizzard korea is lazy. so they do not think. koKR talented page is always not corrected... korea users reported but blizzard korea don't answer...

I'll argue that I have another choice. I can choose to use a stable source of data that is available for all languages, that YOU can easily get fixed (by reporting errors to Blizzard).

You have several choices. You can choose NOT to use Talented_Data, you can choose to write your own Talented_Data (and generating one from wowhead wouldn't be that difficult).

Let's end this post by saying that I completely assume the choice I made, and that arguing with me about this choice is pretty much pointless at this point.

At the end you have to decide if it`s better to display wrong talent informations for Talented users, or stick with accurate english talent informations which is, in my oppinion, the better choice.

... but only available in some languages.

And they keep the calculations in the tooltips, which I don't find easy to read.

Or you could use the wowhead.com talent trees. They are much more accurate.

I have conflicting queries about the source of Talented_Data. Some wants me to use the US site, others wants me to use the european site.

I'm sticking with worldofwarcraft for now.

Please please please report the problems to Blizzard.

The druid talent "Predatory Strikes" currently reads "While in Cat form increases your damage from melee critical strikes by X% and reduces the damage from area effect attacks by Y%".
This is INCORRECT.
It should read, "Increases melee attack power in Cat, Bear, Dire Bear and Moonkin forms by X% of your level and Y% of any attack power on your equipped weapon."
Talented is giving it the same info as the talent "Predatory Instincts".

I changed the code manually from:

talent.name = "Predatory Strikes"
talent.tips = {
format = "While in Cat Form increases your damage from melee critical strikes by %s%% and reduces the damage taken from area of effect attacks by %s%%.",
table_cache_130, 1
{7, 20}, 2
table_cache_152, 3
}

Which is what was posted in releases 5 and 6 to...

talent.name = "Predatory Strikes"
talent.tips = {
format = "Increases your melee attack power in Cat, Bear, Dire Bear and Moonkin Forms by %s%% of your level and %s%% of any attack power on your equipped weapon.",
{50, 7}, 1
{100, 14}, 2
{150, 20}, 3
}

which is what was in releases 4 and before.

At least the enUS descriptions for the Priest Shadow tree do not currently match those from "http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/priest/talents.html" for patch 3.0.3 (I haven't checked any others, the character I play most is a shadow priest). I remember it matching them once, so I went back and found that v3.0.3-9183-release-1 does have the correct descriptions; but somehow since then (including the very next version r169), they got reverted back to the descriptions from 3.0.2. (The most notable changes are the nerfing of Vampiric Embrace & Improved Vampiric Embrace and the bonus crit damage for dots added to Shadowform.)
