Will we be able to untrain talents in the retail product?
In the upcoming beta patch, we plan to allow characters to untrain in talents freely in order to better help balance the talents. However, we feel that investing in talents is a commitment that defines and distinguishes one's character and should not be allowed to be changed freely. Although we do not have a structure for how this will work in retail as of yet, we do intend to have a penalty to prevent players from talent-hopping to suit situations on the fly.
About this.... I'm not a fan of the whole ability to untrain talents thing, I hope the penalty/cost for untraining a talent is severe enough to deter people simply min-maxxing to the best talent build.
