WOW Lich King talents in full

Beta starts, official talent calculator goes up.

Blizzard has published the official talent calculator for next World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King on the game's website.

The calculator allows you to browse full details of all the new talents coming to the game, and experiment with the new specialisation options for your own class - or for new hero class, the Death Knight.

We detailed many of the major changes in our hands-on impressions from the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational a few weeks back.

Wrath of the Lich King has just entered beta testing, and Eurogamer MMO will be bringing you first-hand experiences of the expansion as soon as we manage to log on to the struggling servers.

The Lich King beta arrives mere days after upstart rival, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, began the new "guild beta" phase of its testing cycle, and invited a fresh wave of players onto its servers. We'll bring you report on WAR from E3 later today.

The two MMO giants now seem locked into a head-on collision course that should culminate later this year. With the might of the world's two biggest publishers - Activision Blizzard and EA - behind them, this is certain to be the fiercest battle for players in the history of MMO gaming.

It's so close we can taste it. However, Wrath of the Lich King has no official release date, or even release window, as yet.
