TheWoWDBIf you happen to log out right before making the choice of Devastation or Preservation and realize that the Talents window (N key) is not enabled yet, just talk to the questgiver Scalecommander Emberthal to see the choices again. I kept expecting to find it in the talents window after logging in.

Description
If what these dragons say is true, then a great battle is upon us. We need you focused and strong, evoker. Time to choose your battle specialization. Will you preserve your allies, or devastate your enemies? To hone your combat skills to their sharpest, choose Devastation. To maximize your healing potential, take the path of Preservation. To enhance your wingmates, embrace Augmentation. Each specialization should serve you well. And remember, you can change or adapt it later.
