Hunter Leveling Guide

At this point you’ve probably had a chance to get your Hunter started, and if you’ve hit level 10, you may be scratching your head trying to decide on the best Hunter leveling build.  Thankfully for you, the next chapter of the Hunter Leveling Guide is here, and it focuses on choosing the best leveling spec possible for your Hunter.  In my experience, When it comes to leveling and questing, you will be playing solo a lot of the time. For this I recommend the beast mastery build.

Your pet can be a great tank, add a good amount of damage, are very gear-independent and make grinding very mana-efficient, decreasing downtime in between fights considerably. On top of that, they are fun and obedient companions to have with you on your journeys, and improving them by talents will let you kill enemies while leveling faster than any other build! Here is my personal talent choices for leveling, broken down into levels.

Even though this is a great build, don’t hesitate to experiment on your own.

Mainly improving your pet, this will make leveling and questing solo a lot faster. If you’re wondering what pet to get, it doesn’t really matter since they are all similar, but some are slightly better than others. Just make sure you take pets you like, since you’ll be spending a lot of time with them! Boars/bears are good to start off with since they are quite tough and eat pretty much everything (except gnomes). The boar charge ability is quite nice too. Later on, once you get the Frenzy talent, you might want to get a high damage pet with a fast attack speed, ideally a cat, for even faster leveling.
