Looking for an offline character builder for WOW. The essentials would be talent trees but it would be nice to see the skill progressions.

In other words, there are just some sites whose names are so obvious that its best not to hit them during work.

I guess I need to be a little clearer.

I am looking for something I can download and run. Accessing the WOW site or similar would be too obvious because the number of hits using the talent calculator causes.

I would advise against running third-party WoW-related executables, as a great many of them contain trojan keyloggers and such. Actually, there've been warnings about this plastered all over their website and the login screen lately. Just work on a talent build at home, and look for another job for chrissakes if your current employers are such nazis about internet usage :p

or just do your job and follow the guidelines for proper usage. Browsing the web at work is OK, but getting around eccessive useage/non work related stuff is wrong. Is it too much that an employer asks their employees to <gasp> WORK WHEN ON THE CLOCK?</gasp>

to OP, not to say you shouldn't do this at work, I don't know what your guildlines are. You might be able to do something in Excel that does this, or look for something in Excel already done.

Who says doing a character build is any more time consuming than reading cnn.com (just one hit) or any of the other things people do at work instead of working? Arbitrary and unnecessary limitations are just frustrating. If an employee isn't getting their job done, then it's time to look into why and possibly take action.

First, the wow talent calculator won't cause that many hits.

Second, I think they'd have a bigger issue with you downloading and running some program that you don't know the source of.

AFAIK the talent calculators on the wow site and thottbot are javascript apps, hence the only hit on the website they do is when you load them.
