You normally want to spend your points in the best possible way. So if a talent is not very good, don't spend points for obtaining it.
That essentially answers your question.
You want the most out of your talent points, so going for all talents of one tree
does not allow you to chose the talents of the other two trees.
Since the talents usually (but not always) get better, the deeper you go into a tree, you don't spend to much points on the first tiers to have enough points for the good higher tier talents.
Usually
the best way to spend your points is to go for a 41-talent in one tree and then put the rest of your talent points into a second tree.
That is why you will usually see talent build linked like 41/20/0 or 5/43/13 or 5/21/35. Those numbers give the talent points spent into those three trees.
If you want to see some of those builds just browse the first page of this forum. There are a ton of build questions and usually there are some links to talent builds FAQ

Ok, I am fairly certain this specific thing hasn't been covered anywhere, because I'm an idiot who doesn't grasp the simplest things. But it's like this.
I'm speccing Beast Mastery. However, up until last
night I'd not understood something, but I think I do now. But before I conclude I have it clear, I've come here.
Am I supposed to spend Talent Points in every single option under the BM window? You know how at the top are two boxes, one is Improved Aspect of the Hawk and the other is Endurance Training. My brain seemed to interpret these as two starting points for two (or more) different paths within the BM spec. So far, I've only been spending Talent Points in the things that improve pets.
Yet last night, I decided to add up all the numbers of the things within BM (you know, the max allowable purchases per item) and....they added up to 60. So that tells me having so far skipped improved hawk/monkey, focused fire and pathfinding was a stupid,
noobish mistake on my part.
Am I correct in my assumption? I am to put Talent Points to the max in every single option under the BM spec? Or choose a path within it?
Sorry for the longwinded post.
Nobody would answer the question within the game so I decided to come here. Thanks for reading -Thrall Realm
