Hunter talents starting on TBC

[IDefy]

That helps alot. Being newb going into TBC. Gonna make a hunter. Where should I put my talent pts?

I was looking into ranged weapons, like a bow. I hear beast is the way to go while leveling until u can afford to move all of your talents.

Yeah hunters are and should always be, ranged. I recently made a hunter alt who's about level 10 now (OMFG pets ftw).

I was told that beast is great for leveling. Your pet wont peel aggro from you.

Here's a build i'm going to go. I haven't messed around with it much at all. I didn't put points into ferocious inspiration because you aren't going to be dealing enough dps to warrant that talent yet. It'd only be worth it at later levels and we're doing a leveling build. Criticize it please, i suck at hunters and wish to learn.

I was going to make a BE hunter. I'm curious as to why people don't play them. Everyone I speak to hates them. Are they cheap PvP or something?

The build I was going to go w/ is similar to that but I'm looking for one once I actually reach level 60 and can revert over to ranged.

If i left it in there, we'd have two conversations going at once

People hate hunters because they're ranged, can kite the shit out of you and every man and his dog has one. You can bet that 90% of hunters on the alliance side are night elves, you'll rarely see a dwarf hunter.

Ah ok, are you looking for a mainly-marksmanship build? Personally, all i want is aimed shot and scatter shot and i think i'd put the rest into survival tree. Here's what i'd do. I think it's got the good stuff out of marksmanship while also giving the good stuff out of survival. I'm not a fan of trueshot or silencing shot, or even wyvern sting. Hell, i might even keep this build, unless you guys give me a reason not to.

Aimed shot is worthless now for pvp or raid dps. Maybe for an opener in pvp on cloth that don't notice you. If you want to go marks, you need to get the full tree.

This is a level 60 raiding spec, which is also great for pvp.

As for leveling in TBC and 1-60, beast is now way to do it, or if your geared like my hunter is, you can use marks to level in TBC. That is if they keep the pet taunt very powerful as it is now (2.0.1). Before patch 2.0 you could easily pull aggro off your pet as marks, but now the pet taunt is almost up there with a warriors taunt. If they where to fix that, I would probably go beast for TBC. As for level 70 specs, im just going to wait until I get to 70 to figure that out.

And by the way, the survival tree is worthless now.

Here is what my hunters stats looks like today. My spec is a bit different from the one I linked up there, but that is the overall one people use at 60.

hunters are boring, go roll a class that requires skill

You seem to like your attack power

And by the way, the survival tree is worthless now.

Why's that?

You are considerably geared

I'm not geared, I just baught the game and cannot play until I get my laptop Tuesday. I already know where and when to change talents my original question was about skills. Meaning these http://thottbot.com/?c=Hunter and how to distrubute them and which ones I should buy/look into.

Ohhh.

All skills can be bought. There are some skills that can only be learned via talents, ie; Wyvern Sting, Scatter Shot, etc.

You will learn as you level, buy every skill and see what it does and how it can help you. There is never any reason not to buy a skill.
