WOW Hunter Talent Guide

Posted: Dec 31, 2009 |Comments: 0 | Views: 404 |

The Hunter is a highly versatile class that can be played in many different ways. While the Hunter excels at soloing, they can also play an important role within a group, performing pulling tasks along with crowd control, all the while doing good ranged damage.

The three talent trees for Hunters are Beast Mastery, Marksmanship, and Survival. For the most part, you want to select one tree to specialize in, with a secondary tree to put in some extra points. This Hunter Talent Guide will address each of the three trees, as well as provide some guidance on where best to allocate your talent points.

BEAST MASTERY

Beast Mastery talents generally focus on the Hunter's pet or the various aspects a Hunter uses. It is a good tree to specialize in for those who are primarily interested in soloing/leveling.

Important Talents:

-Improved Aspect of the Hawk
-Endurance Training
-Focused Fire
-Thick Hide
-Improved Revive Pet
-Aspect Mastery
-Unleashed Fury
-Improved Mend Pet
-Ferocity
-Intimidation
-Bestial Discipline
-Animal Handler
-Frenzy
-Ferocious Inspiration
-Bestial Wrath
-Serpent's Swiftness

-Longevity
-The Beast Within
-Kindred Spirits
-Beast Mastery

For the most part, try to max out these talents while making small adjustments to suit your style of play. If you like to PVP, add Spirit Bond and Catlike Reflexes to the list above.

MARKSMANSHIP

The Marksmanship tree improves the ranged DPS of the Hunter, and is a good choice for specialization if you are interested in PVP or raiding. Along with Beast Mastery, the Marksmanship tree is one of the most popular trees for specialization by Hunters.

Important Talents:

-Improved Concussive Shot
-Focused Aim
-Lethal Shots
-Mortal Shots
-Improved Hunter's Mark
-Careful Aim
-Go for the Throat
-Improved Arcane Shot
-Aimed Shot
-Improved Stings
-Concussive Barrage

-Piercing Shots
-Trueshot Aura
-Improved Barrage
-Master Marksman
-Rapid Recuperation
-Wild Quiver
-Silencing Shot
-Improved Steady Shot
-Marked for Death
-Chimera Shot

If you do not PVP, then Improved Concussive Shot and Concussive Barrage can be skipped. For the rest of the talents listed above, try maxing them out if you can, or put a few points into each one at a minimum.

SURVIVAL

The survival tree is good for Hunters who are interested in improving survivability and crowd control abilities. This does not seem to be a popular tree to specialize in, but it may be a good fit for you if you are interested in increasing the effectiveness of your traps, or if you are interested in improving melee combat and PVP skills.

Important Talents:

-Improved Tracking
-Hawk Eye
-Surefooted
-Survival Instincts
-Scatter Shot
-Survival Tactics
-Lock and Load
-Hunter vs. Wild
-Killer Instinct
-Lightening Reflexes
-Resourcefulness
-Wyvern Sting
-Expose Weakness
-Master Tactician
-Trap Mastery
-Sniper Training
-Hunting Party
-Explosive Shot

If you PVP, add these as well:

-Entrapment and Improved Wing Clip
-Survivalist
-Deflection
-TNT
-Counterattack
-Noxious Stings
-Point of No Escape

Although this Guide to Hunter Talents aims to give useful advice for picking talents, you should remember to use your own judgement as well and select the talents that best complement your playing style.
