Age of Conan talent trees

One of the things that I spend my time on in MMOs is talents and feats. The exact combination that gives me the most fun can sometimes take hours, so why wait for launch? The website http://feats.goonheim.com/ is a great source for every class’ specific feat tree, and are very accurate. The arrows connecting linked [...]
