I. Introduction

I've seen a void on the Hunters forum that is filled on many of the other class forums with a breakdown of the classs talents. The number one type of posts Ive seen here have been on the subject of peoples thoughts on various builds, so I chose to put together this document to fulfill the need.

I got most of this information from the many comments on our forum about each of the trees, but I also was able to get information from two other sources concerning what I had written. Id like to thank Tallia of Providence (Earthen Ring server) for sending me her own breakdown of her experiences with the 1.8 patch, including which builds she found best for each purpose, and Kormok of the Tears of Draenor (also the Earthen Ring server) for filling in the blanks with a few answers to little-discussed talents.

Please feel free to post thoughts and number crunches about the various talents Ive listed here. This was designed to be a reference and an aid to all interested in making a Hunter, so your feedback is essential for me to make sure this has the latest greatest facts and opinions.

Thanks everyone for making this a very neat class to play and for all the help everyones given with answers!

Also, this is a repost from the original forums and will need to be stickied to be helpful again!

Version 1.0 - Initial Talent Breakdown post
Version 1.1 - Additional material added to the Talent Builds section based upon input. Also added a number of tweaks to thoughts about the various talents based upon feedback.
Version 1.2 - Took comments from Daggerhorn from Cenarion Circle, Phenix of Sargeras, and Steelfleece of Mal'ganis.
Version 1.3 - Added changes from patch 1.10 to the talent trees into the comments, including a comment about how traps now being visible might change gameplay styles. Also, took into consideration some comments people have made and wanted included and included new thoughts on various BM talents I personally have.
Version 1.35 - Included the basic, cookie-cutter Marksman 31 point breakdown in the Builds section.
Version 2.0 - The same version as 1.35, except reposted on the new forums.
Version 2.1 - For the 2.0 patch and Burning Crusade
Version 2.2 - For the talent changes in patch 2.0.6 (Talent changes in Silencing Shot, Arcane Shot, and the two Barrage talents)
Version 2.3 - Updating information in the guide based upon feedback

NOTE: One thing some people have brought up is that some of my comments refer to what others have said. I've tried almost everything in both Beast Mastery and Marksmanship. I've also read what people have to say about the various talents on the forum and on my server. I've noticed that there might be a talent I personally like, but a majority of others have disparaging things to say about; in cases like those, I reported what most people have said about the talent. I feel that relaying what most Hunters have found with the talents are better than stating solely my own opinions on the subject.
