Hunter · Beast Mastery · Row 2 of 7 · 3 ranks
Changed from Classic

Improved Aspect of the Monkey sits in row 2 of the Hunter Beast Mastery tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 3 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

Changed from Classic. This talent now works differently than in Classic, so read the ranks below before you spend any points.

What Improved Aspect of the Monkey does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Increases the Dodge bonus of your Aspect of the Monkey by 2%. Additionally, your pet gains 50% of the effect of your Aspect of the Monkey ability.
  2. Rank 2: Increases the Dodge bonus of your Aspect of the Monkey by 4%. Additionally, your pet gains 50% of the effect of your Aspect of the Monkey ability.
  3. Rank 3: Increases the Dodge bonus of your Aspect of the Monkey by 6%. Additionally, your pet gains 50% of the effect of your Aspect of the Monkey ability.

How to reach Improved Aspect of the Monkey

Row 2 opens after you spend 5 points in the earlier Beast Mastery rows. Level 15 is the earliest you can pick up Improved Aspect of the Monkey.

Is Improved Aspect of the Monkey worth the points?

Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
