It’s really exciting to achieve level 10 as Hunter, because that’s when you get your very first pet, but at the same time you better be thinking about where you are planning to spend all of the Talent points you have just earned. Keep in mind that Hunters are like all the other classes, with three trees where their talent points are stored, so how you choose to spend those points ends up having a great effect on the various play styles you learn as well as effecting the amount of damage you create.

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.

The Marksmanship tree is the one that is going to help you get the most damage from the shots that you fire while at the same time helping you conserve mana as you do it. You’ll get more damage from the weapons that you are using and you’ll be able to attack more quickly overall. If you want to be a great damage dealer, this is the tree for you.

Finally, we have the Survival tree, which gives you great tools when you want to do work with groups. This is where you will get access to better crowd control techniques, and you will also find that your ability to use traps is made more effective and much more impressive. Though it tends to be the least popular tree, you will find that this tree can be extremely important in raid situations.

When you decide that it’s time for you to play a Hunter, just you check out your options and put together a plan before you start playing. If you end up soloing for most of your play time, be sure to use the advantage of the buffs for your pet that will be in Beast Mastery. If you decide your primary focus will be to gear up your Hunter for raids, then you need to decide the role you will be playing - Survival or Marksmanship would be excellent choices.

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.
