In this article, we present you with various talent trees for Beast Mastery
Hunters (WoW 4.3) that you can use in specific situations. We also explain in
detail what the talents do, how they work together, and how you can
customise your talent tree in order to adapt it to a particular boss.
The other articles of our Beast Mastery Hunter guide can be accessed
from the table of contents on the left.
1. Two Standard Builds↑top
In terms of maximising DPS and overall raid performance, Beast Mastery
Hunters have only two options for talent point distributions, and the two
differ very slightly. We will present you with both builds. It is up
to you to choose which one you prefer, as the difference in efficiency is
insignificant.
The following build is generally accepted to be the standard talent build
for Beast Mastery Hunters. It grants you increased Critical Strike Rating
with 
Cobra Shot on targets above 90% health, thanks to the
Careful Aim talent.
- Prime Glyphs
- Major Glyphs
- Minor Glyphs
This build does not take points in Careful Aim. Instead points are invested
in 
Pathing, which gives you a 2% haste increase.
- Prime Glyphs
- Major Glyphs
- Minor Glyphs
2. Customising Your Build↑top
First, we will present and explain the relevant talents for a Beast Mastery
Hunter before listing the various mandatory and optional glyphs.
2.1. Talents
- 2/2
Improved Kill Command: a very clear boost to one of your basic
abilities, by increasing its chance to critically hit.
- 3/3
One with Nature: increases your attack power while in
Aspect of the Hawk by 30% and provides some extra focus regeneration while
in 
Aspect of the Fox.
- 3/3
Bestial Discipline: increases your pet's focus regeneration rate
by 30%, allowing it to use its abilities more often.
- 2/2
Spirit Bond: this talent is not a DPS increase, but it provides
you and your pet with increased healing received, and is used to unlock the
next talent tiers.
- 3/3
Frenzy: provides your pet with a stacking attack speed
increase buff, which increases its attack speed by up to 30%.
- 1/1
Focus Fire: provides you with a key ability in your
rotation, which consumes all the Frenzy stacks from your pet, granting you
increased ranged attack speed in return.
- 1/1
Fervor: a very straightforward DPS cooldown, which
provides you and your pet with 50 focus on demand.
- 3/3
Cobra Strikes: causes your 
Arcane Shots to sometimes make
your pet critically strike, increasing its damage greatly.
- 3/3
Longevity: reduces the cooldown of one of your most powerful
DPS cooldowns, and reduces the cooldowns of your pet's special abilities,
all of which translates into a large DPS increase.
- 2/2
Killing Streak: rewards you for causing critical hits with your
Kill Command by granting your following Kill Command increased damage and
reduced focus cost.
- 1/1
Ferocious Inspiration: a raid-wide buff which increases damage
done by 3%. It is also provided by Arcane Mages and Retribution Paladins.
- 1/1
Bestial Wrath: a very powerful DPS cooldown which increases
the damage done by your pet by 20% for 10 seconds.
- 1/1
The Beast Within: causes your Bestial Wrath to also grant you
10% increased damage and 50% reduced focus cost for its 10 second
duration.
- 2/2
Invigoration: provides you with 6 focus each time your pet
critically hits with a basic attack.
- 2/2
Kindred Spirits: increases your focus pool and that of your pet by
10, allowing you to more easily manage the resource.
- 1/1
Beast Mastery: grants you the ability to tame exotic pets, and
also grants you an additional 4 pet talent points, which are used to unlock
further DPS talents for your pets, thus granting additional DPS.
- 3/3
Efficiency: another straightforward increase to your damage dealt,
by reducing the focus cost of your Arcane Shot by 3.
- 2/2
Go for the Throat: a straightforward increase to the damage your pet
deals, by granting it more of its resource.
- 2/2
Sic 'Em!: grants your pet focus-free attacks, increasing its damage
output.
- 0/2 or 2/2 Careful Aim: greatly increases your critical strike chance with
Cobra Shot on targets above 90% health.
- 1/3 or 3/3 Pathing: provides 3% ranged haste which translates into a direct
DPS increase.
2.2. Glyphs
Glyph choice as a Beast Mastery Hunter is very simple.
2.2.1. Prime Glyphs
The following three Prime Glyphs are mandatory:
2.2.2. Major Glyphs
Glyph of Bestial Wrath is mandatory. For the remaining two glyphs, you
should choose between:
None of the other glyphs provide DPS increases, though
Glyph of Raptor Strike provides you with excellent damage reduction,
something that Hunters otherwise sorely lack.
2.2.3. Minor Glyphs
We recommend that you use the following Minor Glyphs:
Glyph of Aspect of the Pack can be useful to extend the range of your
Aspect and help your raid run in quicker after wipes. In encounters, it seldom
has any practical use due to the movement speed debuff that
Aspect of the Pack causes when taking damage.
