WoW Forever Hunter Talent Path

Your pet tanks and bites while you shoot from range. The smoothest way to level a Hunter.

Very safe on your own, your pet holds the mob and grows stronger with your gear.

You look after ammo, pet food and a pet that sometimes dies.

You hit hard from far away with Aimed Shot and crit talents while your pet holds the mob.

Big shots from extra range, and Sniper Shot at 40 adds a heavy opener.

Uses more mana and kills a bit slower than Beast Mastery early on.

A melee Hunter with two weapons, traps and a pet at your side. You shoot first, then finish the fight up close.

Tough in melee with parry, Deterrence and Counterattack, and your melee talents keep growing until 40.

Most of your melee power arrives between levels 25 and 40, so the early levels are slower.

Survival levels slowly until about level 30. Take Beast Mastery if you just want to level fast.

You leave your pet behind and hit harder on your own, with Multi-Shot for packs and big Aimed Shots on bosses.

Lone Wolf gives 20% more damage from level 20, and you have no pet to manage in a group.

Without a pet you have no one to hold a mob that reaches you.

Your pet and your hawks fight next to the tank while you shoot. Bestial Wrath at 40 is a big boost for bosses.

Strong steady damage from you and your pet, and the pet grows with your gear.

Your pet can die in big pulls and must never take mobs from the tank.

You fight in melee next to the Rogues and Warriors with two weapons, bleeds and traps for your group.

Strong damage on single targets once Predator's Edge and Lacerating Strikes are in, plus traps for control.

Your melee power arrives between levels 25 and 40, until then you mostly shoot.

Your pet chases, bites and stuns while you shoot. Bestial Wrath turns it loose for a big push.

Easy to play, your pet keeps pressure on healers and casters while you kite.

If your pet dies you lose much of your damage, so keep it alive.

You fight from the edge of your range with Hawk Eye, slow and stun anyone who chases you, and burst with big shots.

Long range, Scatter Shot and slows make you hard to catch.

Weak once a melee player sticks to you, and Sniper Shot needs 4 seconds of standing still.

You beat melee players at their own game with extra parry, Deterrence, Counterattack roots and traps.

Very hard for Rogues and Warriors to kill, and Entrapment roots anyone who steps on your traps.

Casters and other Hunters at range give you a harder time.
