The Best Hunter Leveling Spec In World Of Warcraft

By Wayne Allen


If you are playing a hunter, you are in luck - hunters are one of the easiest classes to level up in the game. If you use the best hunter leveling spec, you can turn your pet into a war machine that can handle elites on its own.

All hunter talents help you level, but focusing on Beast Mastery will have the best results. The BM tree gives you the best talents to equip a pet as a tank, allowing a hunter to sit back and deal lots of damage undeterred. In fact, with Beast Mastery alone, a Hunter's pet can become so powerful that your Hunter doesn't even need gear!

Prepared to level up faster than every other class? Then here is one of the most popular Hunter builds in the game from the legendary Zygon guide.

BEAST MASTERY TREE

Put 5pts in Improved Aspect of the Hawk

followed by 1 point into - Endurance Training (1/5)

then 2 points - Focused Fire

2 points - Improved Revive Pet

1 point - Aspect Mastery

4pts in Unleashed Fury

2pts in Improved Mend Pet

1 point in Improved Mend Pet (1/2)

5 points in Frenzy

2pts in Bestial Discipline

1 point - Animal Handler (1/2)

5pts in Frenzy

3pts in Ferocious Inspiration

1 point in The Beast Within

5pts in Serpent is Swiftness

3pts in Longevity

1pt in The Beast Within

2pts in Cobra Strikes

5pts in Kindred Spirits

1 point - Beast Mastery

3 points in Focused Aim

3 points in Careful Aim

3 points - Careful Aim

5 points in Mortal Shots

1 point in Aimed Shot

Choose Bestial Wrath, Hunter is Mark, Freezing Trap for your glyphs.

5 points - Improved Tracking

Use Serpent String, Aspect of the Viper, Hunter's Mark for your major glyphs, and choose feign death, revive pet, mend pet for your minor glyphs.

The advantages to this build is how your pet is transformed into a monster, capable of tanking multiple monsters on its own. This build also gives the pet the capacity to hold aggro extremely well, allowing the hunter to deal damage without being harassed by mobs. This build only works when you're leveling up though. If you're after a build that's more focused on player vs player combat, then you might want to give this a go:

Zygon's build focuses solely on leveling up as fast as possible. With the added bonus to critical chance, damage and holding aggro, it is perfect for working through the levels. It does not, however, work particularly well if you want to take part in a lot of PvPing. If that is more your style, then here is another build that works quite well.

1 point in Endurance Training (1/5)

followed by 2 points into - in Focused Fire

3pts in Endurance Training

1pt in Aspect Mastery

5 points - Unleashed Fury

5 points - Ferocity

1 point - Intimidation

1 point in Intimidation

1pt in Improved Mend Pet

5 points - Frenzy

1pt in Bestial Wrath

3 points in Ferocious Inspiration

1 point in Bestial Wrath

5 points - Serpent's Swiftness

3 points in Longevity

1 point in The Beast Within

1pt in Longevity

5 points - Kindred Spirits

1pt in Beast Mastery

MARKSMANSHIP TREE

5 points - Lethal Shots

3 points in Careful Aim

5 points in Mortal Shots

3 points - Improved Hunter's Mark

Finally, change to the Survival Tree and put your last 5 points in Improved Tracking.

For your glyphs, choose Aspect of the Viper, Serpent String and Hunter's Mark.

Glyphs: Freezing Trap, Bestial Wrath, Hunter's Mark.

Both builds start off putting talent points into Aspect of the Hawk. While it does not benefit your pet in any way, the increased attack speed it gives your hunter is essential for doing decent damage.

Naturally, the all-important Beast Mastery is included at the end. There is also the critical bonus for your pet with Ferocity and the must-have talent Unleashed Fury which makes your pet hit harder.

The key to using both these builds lies in making sure you micromanage your pet properly. If you were in a raid, you wouldn't take aggro off the main tank - so don't take it off your pet! Let your pet take the heat, and you'll be leveling up in no time.
