Hunter talent question

Forestlordx · Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2007 5:50 pm Post subject: Hunter talent question

I read over on wowinsider a few days ago about a lvl 70 hunter who was specc'd survival. This is a rare spec and I figured it could be fun to have something similar as well. I realize that a hunter is best at the ranged talent spec, but its always fun to try something completely different. Any constructive opinions on this?

U have to at least get Scattershot in the Marks tree

I've got a couple suggestions:

1) Scattershot or counterattack is pretty much a must, as those are your two main options for escape mechanisms (besides intimidation, but this isn't a BM spec.) However, in order to get scattershot you must drop readiness, so that's up to you.

2) Hawkeye is a really nice talent - 41 yards is a pretty key hunter talent for both pvp and pve.

I'll link two survival specs here, one more pve oriented and the other more pvp.

--------------------------------
Pve - http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/hunter/talents.html?0000000000000000000000552001205000000000033300102510300310511351

This spec is about a survival spec that helps to max party/raid damage. Both improved hunter's mark and expose weakness help to raise overall raid damage.

--------------------------------

Pvp - http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/hunter/talents.html?0000000000000000000005502001205000000000001323130510300313501051

This spec aims to help you with utility in pvp. You could if desired drop readiness for scattershot to give you another escape tactic.

---------------------------------
DISCLAIMER:
I've played a hunter since release but I've always been full marks (even back in the day when many hunters were 21marks/30survival). I haven't personally tried either of these specs, and so it's all in hypothetical theorycraft. You'd have to try them out and change them up yourself to find what works for you Wink

I just figured I'd give you something to chew on Smile

I have not played WOW for some time. I had a hunter and wanted to know if they have improved since its latest expansion cataclysm? Is the focus bar better than the energy bar?
