Any veteran of World of Warcraft will relate that hunter talents have changed quite a bit, but what hasn't changed is that all talent specs for the Hunter make them effective at leveling to one extent or another. As a player approaches end-game, however, things get less flexible and tough decisions have to be made between possible specs.
Talents in the beast mastery tree improve the damage output of a Hunter's pet, as well as its ability to survive. Even though all hunter specs are good for leveling, this tree is considered the best for leveling quickly. However, there are some downsides. Specifically, if anything happens to the hunter's pet during a battle, he or she will find themselves without their biggest source of damage.
As mentioned before, end-game instances and player versus player changes the field for choosing talents quite a lot. BM is currently considered less powerful than Marksmanship or Survival at high levels, even when a Beast Mastery specialized hunter is optimally geared.
All great talent builds take some points in Marksmanship, which boosts the damage and effectiveness of a Hunter's ranged attacks. Lethal Shots, Mortal Shots, Careful Aim are usually maxed out, and at least one point is put into Go for the Throat. If a player chooses to specialize in Marksmanship, the talent tree is considered to be very powerful in raids and player versus player combat
Even though Survival is not the most recommended talent build to level up a Hunter, it becomes more powerful in end-game instances and against other players. Usually, talents like Replenishment help out the other players in a raid with mana management. Explosive Shot is the final talent in the Survival tree and well worth the additional points.
The Hunter character is one of the most popular classes in the game World of Warcraft. There are many different builds that can be utilized through the talent tree. - 31889
