Talents are still obsolete for most builds, because the talents themselves suck. Some of them are great, some are decent, and the rest aren't worth the skill points. Instead of making the trade completely one-sided, they should have worked on rebalancing the talents so that you have many choices of talents you WANT. That doesn't mean nerfing them until they are all crap, that means buffing the crap ones until you cant pick just one.
