Questions
What are the best BM Hunter talents in WoW Forever?
Our recommended Beast Mastery Hunter build is 35/16/0: Pet damage to Bestial Wrath, Careful Aim from Marksmanship. It is one of the Forever sim's preset builds. Nobody has played a level 60 yet, so treat it as a starting point until launch on 4 November.
Are WoW Forever's Beast Mastery talents the same as Classic's?
No. Forever's Beast Mastery tree has 16 talents, and 3 of them do not exist in Classic: Deadly Aspects, Focused Fire and Summon Hawk. Another 10 have different ranks, positions or numbers. The tree is still seven rows deep, and each row still needs five points spent above it.
What is the Beast Mastery 31-point talent in WoW Forever?
Bestial Wrath. Send your pet into a rage causing 50% additional damage for 18 sec. While enraged, the beast does not feel pity or remorse or fear and it cannot be stopped unless killed.
What is the best Beast Mastery Hunter leveling build in WoW Forever?
Ours takes one point a level from 10 to 60 with no respec and ends at 31/20/0. It picks up Bestial Swiftness at 32, Intimidation at 33, Summon Hawk at 34 and Bestial Wrath at 40. The full order is on this page.
How many talent points do you get in WoW Forever?
51 at level 60, one per level from level 10, as in Classic. The Legacy perk Talented starts them at level 5 instead, which matters for alts while levelling.
Where does this talent data come from?
From the WoW Forever beta client's own talent tables (build 1.60.1.70338), not from Classic. Every tooltip on this page is rendered from the client's spell data, and we checked them against the numbers the beta's own tooltips show. The trees can still change before launch.
