Beast Mastery Leveling Talent Plan
Your pet tanks, you deal damage from range. Beast Mastery first makes the pet tougher, faster, and deadlier, adds Summon Hawk at 25, Intimidation at 35, and Bestial Wrath at 44. From 45 the remaining points go to Marksmanship for critical strike, Attack Power from Intellect, stronger Serpent Sting, and Trueshot Aura.
Endurance Training 5/5 at 10–14 adds 15% to your pet's Health and Armor. Improved Aspect of the Monkey 3/3 at 15–17 raises your dodge and gives the pet half of it, and Improved Revive Pet 2/2 at 18–19 makes a dead pet far less costly.

Beast Mastery Leveling
Levels 10–60, solo questing with your pet as the tank: 35 Beast Mastery, 16 Marksmanship, no respec
35 Beast Mastery16 Marksmanship0 Survival
Your pet tanks, you deal damage from range. Beast Mastery first makes the pet tougher, faster, and deadlier, adds Summon Hawk at 25, Intimidation at 35, and Bestial Wrath at 44. From 45 the remaining points go to Marksmanship for critical strike, Attack Power from Intellect, stronger Serpent Sting, and Trueshot Aura.
Why these talents
Endurance Training first: 15% more Health and Armor for the pet. A pet that holds the monster longer is your damage and your safety.
Bestial Swiftness and Pathfinding at 20–22: a faster pet engages sooner, and a faster Aspect of the Cheetah is leveling speed before your mount.
Summon Hawk at 25 adds a second damage source that keeps attacking for 18 seconds.
Lethal Attacks benefits twice: your pet inherits your critical strike chance.
Swaps to consider
Pet losing aggro to you? Spend less on burst early and pull with your pet first, then add Hunter's Mark and Auto Shot.
Prefer to fight in a group? Marksmanship and Survival builds trade pet strength for your own damage, but solo they are slower.
Summon Hawk at 16 points sends up to two Hawks after your target alongside your pet.

Strider Kick, Expose Prey, and Lacerating Strikes at 31 points build a real melee Hunter around Mongoose Bite.
You have 51 points, one per level from 10 to 60. Drag the level slider to plan a build for a lower level: the calculator then stops at the points that level has.
Each rank of the Legacy perk Talented starts your points one level earlier (from level 5 at rank 5). Pick your rank next to the level slider.
Every 5 points in a tree open its next row, and some talents need a maxed talent above them first.
Click a talent to add a point; right-click or Shift-click to remove one. On a touch screen, tap a talent to read it, tap it again to add a point, and long-press it to remove one; the − and + buttons on its card work too.
Your build lives in the page link, so copying the link saves and shares it.

What Forever Changes in Hunter Talents
18 of Hunter's 50 talents are new in Forever, and 20 change from their Classic versions.
The three trees keep their Classic rows, with a new milestone talent at 16 points in each tree.
Spell, melee, and ranged hit are one stat, and critical strike works the same way.
Group buffs that used to cost talent points are now baseline, which frees points for new choices.
