Use Hunter Talent Trees To Get Ahead

By Mike Miller

When you hit level 10 as a Hunter, you're going to be pretty excited about getting your first pet, but you'll also find that you are going to need to start thinking about where you want to spend your Talent points as well! Hunters, like every other class, have three trees where they can put their talent points, and the way that you spend your talent points is going to have a huge effect on the play styles that you can master as well how much damage you put out.

When you are interested in playing a Hunter, you will find that you have your choice of putting points into Beast Mastery, Marksmanship and Survival. These trees are all fairly different and you will find that learning a little bit about each one will help you get started on where to spend your points.

Your pet will really benefit from investment in the Beast Mastery tree. Your pet is good for tanking and for doling out additional damage; if you want to use your pet for this reason, you'll really be thankful for the Talent points you pour into this talent tree. If you don't want to play in a party, this is ideal for you.

If you want to really make your shots count, invest in the Marksmanship tree; your shots will do more damage, and use less mana at the same time, really giving you an effective advantage. You can attack a lot faster in the long run, especially if you equip weapons that do a lot of damage. Go for this talent if you want to really do some substantial damage.

The Survival tree is the one to have when you decide to align with groups, as it will provide with the best tools. You'll find you can tap in to a lot better techniques for crowd control, as well as discovering your skills using traps will become a lot more effective, and definitely impressive. Even though this tree is considered the least favored tree, you'll quickly discover just how important it can be when it comes to raid situations.

As you contemplate playing as a Hunter, make sure you have your strategy down when you decide where to allocate your Talent points. Beast Mastery will benefit the Hunters who want to spend the majority of their game on their own and want their pet to be strong. If you like to raid, Marksmanship and Survival are both fantastic options, so just find out how you want to help out during the raid, and fill up the tree that fulfills this the most.

One reason Hunters are considered a terrific class is having the perks of being able to quickly level. So if your goal is to hand out plenty of damage while sidestepping any to yourself, and you are excited about the pets you can gather, as well as seeing what Azeroth can offer you, check this class out. Keep in mind if you choose to play Alliance, there's an alliance guide for you to decide where you need to go, and what choices are the best for Hunters. - 29943
