Hunter Hunter talent reference

Hunters fight at range, usually with a pet at their side. Beast Mastery leans on the pet to do the heavy lifting, Marksmanship is pure sharpshooting, and Survival mixes traps and melee for the messy close-range work.

Hunter talent reference questions

How do I read this talent tree?

Top down. Row 1 is open from the start; every 5 points you spend in one tree unlocks the next row in that same tree. Beast Mastery, Marksmanship, Survival all work this way. A row 4 talent needs 15 points in the rows above it before it opens.

What does each rank do?

Every Hunter talent lists its ranks in the exact beta-client wording. Rank 1 is the weakest version and the final rank is the full-strength effect. Read rank 1 first, then decide how many points the talent deserves.

What do the NEW and Changed tags mean?

NEW means the talent never existed in Classic. It is Forever-only. Changed means the Classic talent still exists but works differently now. Active means you press a button to use it; everything else just happens.
