With the arrival of Cataclysm, the talent system received a massive overhaul, changing from the 71 talent points system to a more compact 41 points system. As such, many of the old talents were either completely removed or changed, resulting in fewer possible build variations. One key aspect of the new system is that you must use at least 31 points in your main specialization to use the remaining 10 points in a secondary specialization.

Talent Builds

Link to this Build

Beast Mastery Hunters don’t have a lot of wiggle room in their talents. You want to grab almost every talent in the Beast Mastery tree, excluding [Imp. Mend Pet], [Pathfinding], and [Crouching Tiger] as none of them are particular important for DPS. Most of your gameplay comes directly from your talent tree, including [Bestial Wrath], [Focus Fire], [Frenzy], and [Beast Mastery].

Once you’re done in the Beast Mastery tree, you want to dip into both Marksmanship and Survival. [Sic Em] and [Go for the Throat] give you more synergy with Critical Strikes, and [Pathing] just gives you more Haste.

I love MMOs of all shades, especially the nitty gritty numbers parts of them. You might recognize me from the Shadow Priest discord, otherwise I play a little bit of everything, especially games with support roles available.
