After so long Talen is still around?
Here's the real truth, real proof, not personal opinion: There is a paladin named Talen in EU server, with armory eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/veknilash/Talen/simple
That Talen, while may or not be this Talen here, never beat Deathwing on normal mode, as well as Rag, Nef, Chogall, LK and w/e other raid bosses.
That Talen, again posted a lot in an similar thread as this one: eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3429854536?page=14 You guys may compare the posts of that Talen with this Talen, and guess if they are the same person.
And this Talen in this thread, if you look at his post areas:
www.mmo-champion.com/members/544227-Talen We see about total 4k posts, with 2k in general part and 2k in Paladin part. So you guys may have your own idea about if this Talen is a main or alt.
Now I am done stating all the truth. I am sorry if those are completely off-topic but w/e.
