TipTacTalents - Show Player Talents in Tooltips
Using this addon, you will see the talent specialization of players added to the tooltip.

A cache up to 25 is stored for the last scanned players, so you quickly can see their talents again without having to wait for talents to load.

To avoid inspect issues, TipTacTalents will not request talents if you have an inspect frame open.
That includes the default inspect frame, as well as the addon Examiner.

There is no command line switch or configurable options for TipTacTalents when used alone.
Using TipTac and TipTacOptions however, you can change the cache size and the option to turn it on or off.

This addon is also included as part of the TipTac package, but is released here on it's own, for those who do not need special tip customisations.
You can find the main TipTac addon package here:

TipTacTalents Changes | 2010 Oct 27
- Actually fixed the "InspectPaperDollFrame.lua" error this time, no really, I swear!

- Unit GUID is now used to make sure the returning data from an inspect request, is indeed who we wanted data on.

- The tooltip line added will now be localised.
- Optimised the code a bit.

TipTacTalents Changes | 2009 Mar 13
- Occasionally the TipTac fadeout could get halted because of an update from TipTacTalents, I've fixed this by not allowing TipTacTalents to call "GTT:Show()" to resize the tip during fadeout.

TipTacTalents Changes | 2009 Mar 12
- After some more testing with adjusting the trottle time, it seems that compeltely removing it, that is setting it to zero, actually seems like the best solution, at least this is where I found the least mixed talents. Please let me know if you're still seeing wrong specs in the tips.
- Made some minor code changes.

TipTacTalents Changes | 2008 Nov 05
- Increased the throttle time for talent queries from 0.25 to 0.75 sec, hopefully that fixes some more of the problems with wrong talents listed on tips. But they will still occur with rapid mouse moving.

TipTacTalents Changes | 2008 Oct 22
- TipTacTalents will no longer request talents when the default inspect window is open, just like it already does when the Examiner addon is open.

TipTacTalents Changes | 2008 Oct 16
- Changed the TOC version to 30000 for the Wrath of the Lich King patch.
- When Examiner is installed, and opened, TipTacTalents will not request talent info, as this would cause problems in Examiner's talent tab.
- If the player has no talents, it will no longer state the name of the first talent tab and (0/0/0), but instead: "No Talents".
- Changed the default cache size up to 25.

I cannot fix a problem I cannot reproduce, TipTacTalents should only do stuff when the GameTooltip shows a unit, so there should really be no way for this error to happen when you are browsing the Auction House. Disable all addons except this and see if it still happens.

Weird, did this happen just once, or do you get the error again and again?

The inspect rules was changed in 2.4, you can now inspect everyone, gear, honor and talents, EXCEPT players from the opposite faction which is PvP enabled. With the final release of 2.4, the one which is Live now, it seems there is a bug which makes it impossible to inspect your own honor and talent info, this used to work on the latest PTR patch I tried.

Yes, but in 2.4 it is getting restricted, and you will not be able to see the talents if they are flagged for PvP. It will still work for your own faction though, and the opposite faction if they are not flagged.

So its currently normal, and intended tha i cant inspect Talents on Allianz (i am horde) in the Battlegrounds? I thought it is a Bug. Because remembrance etc. also cant inspect it anymore.

So whats the change at all? And whats the point, so in Arena i can inspect Talents from Horde but not Allianz? Sounds very unlogical for me.

Btw. i cant inspect myself with this Addon here, its alwas Loading, and sometimes it shows me a TalentTree of another Class, im using the German Client.

This addon currently have no options to change, but it is fairly simple to change how it formats the talent line by editing some LUA. I already added some commented out lines for the next release so it will be simple to just change manually.
As for that particular line, yes I could perhaps formulate it better, I'll try and change it so it sounds "better".

You know, this was the only thing that got be bummed about switching from CowTip to TipTac, the loss of talents showing. Sure tiptac showed the actual point distribution (12/47/789430 blah) but I really don't care about it and sometimes it's hard to know exactly what spec that person is if you really only care about your own class. Cowtip could just show Holy, or Shadow or whatever they were, even hybrid etc. Thank you so much for bringing this feature to tiptac.

This addon works completely independent of TipTac, but installing TipTac is recommended to enchance the tooltip further. This addon is also a part of TipTac.
This is confusing a bit, it's independent but also a part of? I think you could word this a little better :P
