Улучшенный дух ястреба

Improved Aspect of the Hawk 5/5 will increase your attack speed by 30% for 12 seconds. This has a 5% chance to happen per shot, on average 1 every 20 shots. Making this talent very strong as it is a flat out DPS increase. Most PvE Hunter specs will take this, even if just a few points, as it is a strong talent that is on the first row.

Тренировка стойкости

Endurance training increases your pet's health by 3% per point, at 5/5 that is 15%. If you are going into the BM spec usually you will pick this talent up as it is strong compared to any of the other talents you can get. It means more health for your pet so more chance of it surviving and you save time not having to revive it as much. If you think you are still struggling to keep your pet alive consider taking 2 points from this talent and place them into Улучшенное воскрешение питомца.

Улучшенный звериный глаз

Improved Eyes of the Beast is a talent that allows you to control your pet for an extra minute with Звериный глаз. As Звериный глаз is not used in PvE apart from pet management in such as; controlling your pet off an edge with the group so that it doesn't run around the entire instance and pull everything. It is also used in PvP to scout or potentially annoy people from afar. But apart from that the spell isn't useful to have up for longer than the base 1 minute anyway so spending 2 points just to get an extra minute on it is pointless. Don't get this talent.

Улучшенный дух обезьяны

Improved Aspect of the Monkey 5/5 gives your Дух обезьяны an added bonus of 5% chance to dodge, increasing the total to 13%. This talent isn't useful for PvE as you will be in Aspect of the Hawk but it can be useful in PvP for specs that want to go deeper into BM. If you can manage to keep your pet alive in PvP you could opt for this talent as it will help a lot with melee, having high agility and then using Дух обезьяны can get your dodge chance close to 30%. Verses a Воин with a slow weapon, this could be a huge game changer for you.

Плотная шкура

Thick Hide 3/3 will provide your pets with 30% increased armor rating. While this is quite useful for your pet's survival, it is more beneficial to use talents like Тренировка стойкости or Улучшенное воскрешение питомца to buff your pet's defenses overall as the armor provided will have no effect verses any magical damage. While the increased health or even the faster revive with reduced mana cost will be effective in more situations.

Улучшенное воскрешение питомца

Improved Revive Pet is a strong talent to take if you find that your finding it hard to keep your pet alive even with defensive talents. With 2/2 it will reduce the cast time of your Воскрешение питомца ability and lower the mana cost by 40%. Your pet will also have 30% more HP when revived meaning it will be easier to top back up overall costing you far less mana and time. You don't need this if your pet isn't dying often and can put the 2 points into Тренировка стойкости.

Знание троп

Pathfinding increases your run speed by 6% while in Дух гепарда giving you a total increased run speed of 36%. This can be very useful while leveling from 30-40 as you will not have a mount and this will make you much quicker than most other classes at getting around. Though after 40 this talent become virtually useless so if you are trying not to re-spec at 40 I would advise avoiding this talent for leveling and avoid it altogether after that.

Звериная стремительность

Beastial Swiftness increased your pets movement speed by 30% while outdoors. Meaning this talent does not work inside most PvE instances. It is usually used for leveling, allowing you to pull mobs faster with your pet but generally is skipped for other specs as other talent points provide more raw output or better utility. It does not stack with your pet's Порыв ability either making this talent fairly lackluster.

Неудержимое неистовство

Unleashed Fury 5/5 increases your pets' damage by 20%. This is a strong talent to have if you are going to this point in the BM talents you will definitely take this point. It is a flat damage increase and is good for all aspects of the game.

Улучшенное лечение питомца

Improved Mend Pet 2/2 gives the Лечение питомца spell a 50% chance of cleansing 1 Curse, Disease, Magic or Poison effect from the pet each tick. Some BM players will take this talent, especially while leveling just to remove long debuffs as some can last for up to 30 minutes in Classic. You only need one point in it if you choose to do so, opting to put 1 less point in Бешенство to do so.

Свирепость

Ferocity 5/5 increases the critical strike chance of your pets by 15%. If you are playing MM/BM or any sort of BM spec you will want this talent as it is a strong DPS increase that also is a prerequisite to Бешенство if you happen to be playing deep BM.

Узы духа

Spirit Bond 2/2 makes it so while your pet is active, you and your pet will regenerate 2% of total health every 10 sec. While it isn't amazing it can provide some good sustain for you and your pet giving you more up time while leveling. There are a fair few talents that are interchangeable, mainly effecting utility in the BM tree if you are just choosing to advance to Звериный гнев, this is one of those talents.

Устрашение

Intimidation is a spell that commands your pet to intimidate the target on the next successful melee attack, causing a high amount of threat and stunning the target for 3 sec. This is useful for PvP and leveling. Some of the PvP specs that go deep into BM will stop at this talent so they can still get Дезориентирующий выстрел from the MM tree.

Беспрекословное послушание

Beastial discipline increases the Focus regeneration of your pets by 20%. This is a slight DPS increase and should only be taken if you are going for Звериный гнев in your spec.

Бешенство

Frenzy gives your pet a 100% chance to gain a 30% attack speed increase for 8 sec after dealing a critical strike. These should be the last points you are spending in your talents for BM if you are going for Звериный гнев. You will primarily do this for leveling specs.

Звериный гнев

Beastial Wrath sends 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. This talent will cause your pet to turn red and do more damage, it will be unaffected by, sleep, fear and incapacitate effects. You won't have this talent unless you are leveling most likely but it is strong for that purpose be it during PvE or PvP.

Marksmanship Tree Talents

Улучшенный контузящий выстрел

Improved Concussive Shot gives your Concussive Shot a 20% chance to stun the target for 3 sec. This talent is strong in PvP as on an average 1/5 Шокирующий выстрелs will trigget a 3 second stun on your enemy allowing you to gain distance on them or cast an Прицельный выстрел.

Эффективность

Efficiency reduces the Mana cost of your Shots and Stings by 10%. This is a good mana sustain talent that most DPS builds will take. Generally you won't use Чародейский выстрел or Укус змеи in raids but you will be using a lot of Прицельный выстрел so this talent will come in handy. Out in the world you will use Укус змеи too so it is good for that too.

Улучшенная метка охотника

Improved Hunter's Mark increases the Ranged Attack Power bonus of your Hunter's Mark spell by 15%. At least one Охотник in your group should take 5/5 in this talent. I would advise talking to hunters in your guild and sorting out who is best to put all the points into it or you can just do so yourself. Otherwise you will most likely just take 2/5 just for general use and to get to your next row of talents.

Стрельба на поражение

Lethal Shots increases your critical strike chance with ranged weapons by 5%. This is a nice simple DPS increase. It is also a prerequisite to Смертоносные выстрелы which DPS hunters will also take. This talent is good for PvE and PvP

Прицельный выстрел

Aimed Shot is a 3 second cast spell with a 6 second cool down. This is your hardest hitting ability and you will generally use this on cool down as much as you can to maximize DPS. You will take this talent for almost every hunter spec you will ever play.

Улучшенный чародейский выстрел

Improved Arcane Shot reduces the cooldown of your Arcane Shot by 1 sec. Simple, and some may assume a good talent to invest into but it isn't. In Classic your Прицельный выстрел and Чародейский выстрел share a cool down. Also your Чародейский выстрел scales off spell power as it does arcane damage, meaning its damage is incomparable to Прицельный выстрел which is physical damage and scales off your attack power. This talent is not worth taking.

Глаз ястреба

Hawk Eye increases the range of your ranged weapons by 6 yards. This is a good talent for both PvE and PvP, for a Охотник the further away you are from an enemy, the more damage you can deal and there is more room for error or counter play. A lot of fights require movement or potentially some sort of spreading out, with this talent you make it easier for you and your group by not being as confined to the boss and it almost goes without saying that in PvP the further away you are from enemies the better off you are, especially with dead zones.

Смертельный укус змеи

Improved Serpent Sting Increases the damage done by your Serpent Sting by 10%. While in hindsight like some other Охотник talents this may sound good, unfortunately it isn't. Hunters generally can't use Укус змеи in a raid environment as there are only 16 slots available for debuffs in Classic, other debuffs are more important to have applied to increase group DPS such as your Метка охотника or Воин's Раскол брони. The list goes on and unfortunately Укус змеи doesn't make it, making this talent completely useless in a raid environment. As for PvP, it's sub par, you will see more benefits from your other talents unless you're playing a non meta spec.

Смертоносные выстрелы

Mortal Shots Increases your ranged weapon critical strike damage bonus by 30%. This is a no brainer. This turns your crits from 100% bonus damage to 130% which is strong damage increase for PvE and PvP, every deep MM spec will take this talent.

Дезориентирующий выстрел

Scatter Shot is A short-range (15 Yards) shot that deals 50% weapon damage and disorients the target for 4 sec. Any damage caused will remove the effect. Turns off your attack when used. This isn't an essential talent for PvE but can be handy on some fights or out in the world. You can swap it into Улучшенная метка охотника if you want. For PvP Дезориентирующий выстрел is a must, you will need it to peel for yourself and to place traps properly. You will need this if you wish to excel in PvP.

Заградительный огонь

Barrage increases the damage done by your Multi-Shot and Volley spells by 15%. This is a good talent to take for damage increase, the most favorable PvP specs don't use this usually. But for PvE it is a flat damage increase for your single and multi target DPS as Залп is a part of your regular rotation.

Улучшенное жало скорпида

Improved Scorpid Sting reduces the Stamina of targets affected by your Scorpid Sting by 30% of the amount of Strength reduced. This is a bad talent for PvP and PvE. You won't be using Жало скорпида on bosses and it doesn't affect most players, making it a very situational spell. Talents points are just better off spent elsewhere.

Специализация на оружии дальнего боя

Ranged Weapon Specialization increases the damage you deal with ranged weapons by 5%. This is a flat 5% damage increase to your ranged attacks. Without question this will be in your PvE build. For a strict PvP spec you probably won't be this deep into MM but is worth taking if you are.

Аура меткого выстрела

True Shot Aura is a buff that increases the attack power of party members within 45 yards by 50 and lasts 30 minutes. For almost every PvE spec this is mandatory as it will buff your Воинs and Разбойникs in your party, increasing the overall DPS of the raid. In PvP it can be useful but as I have stated before in previous talents you probably won't be this deep into MM if you are PvP as there are other talent choices that are more favorable.

Survival Tree Talents

Убийство монстров

Monster Slaying increases all damage caused against Beasts, Giants and Dragonkin targets by 3% and increases critical damage caused against Beasts, Giants and Dragonkin targets by an additional 3%. This is a good talent to take in PvE mostly because it will get you the most DPS versus the other talents around it. Some bosses and trash may be Beasts, Giants and Dragonkin, especially in BWL. Although you don't always get usage out of it, the usage that it gets outweighs the talents you that are otherwise available. If you are certain you won't be facing many mobs or bosses of these types, such as in Naxx raiding, you can opt to put these talents into something that may come in handy like 3/5 Удержание, 3/5 Улучшенная подрезка крыльев or 5/5 Отражение.

Убийство гуманоидов

Humanoid Slaying increases all damage caused against Humanoid targets by 3% and increases critical damage caused against Humanoid targets by an additional 3%. Much like Убийство монстров but a lot more useful. You will find a lot more humanoids in raids than the 3 of the types in Monster Slaying. This talent is generally skipped in PvP, instead of taking 5/5 Отражение.

Отражение

Deflection increases your Parry chance by 5%. This is a decent talent generally just used to fill talent points to get into later rows. You will most likely take a few points in this if not all, depending on how you want to build. For PvP, this talent is strong as you will already have a good dodge chance, and then you have more parry on top of that allowing you to kite melee and avoid damage from them much better.

Удержание

Entrapment gives your Immolation Trap, Frost Trap, and Explosive Trap a 25% chance to entrap the target, preventing them from moving for 5 sec. This talent is generally not seen as a must-have for any spec; you may use it as a stepping stone onto further talent rows. It comes down to how you would like to spend your points in the first two rows as a lot of them increase utility or survival chances and don't affect DPS.

Удержание

Entrapment gives your Immolation Trap, Frost Trap, and Explosive Trap a 25% chance to entrap the target, preventing them from moving for 5 sec. This talent is generally not seen as a must-have for any spec; you may use it as a stepping stone onto further talent rows. It comes down to how you would like to spend your points in the first two rows as a lot of them increase utility or survival chances and don't affect DPS. I don't take this for my PvE or PvP specs, which will be explained further in the talent build section.

Беспощадные удары

Savage Strikes increases the critical strike chance of Raptor Strike and Mongoose Bite by 20%. This talent isn't amazing, but it will help DPS slightly, compared to the other talents around it. Meaning that if you are going to advance in survival, you will take this. It can be useful for some fights where you are forced to use melee and in PvP it can be pretty nice if you are snared or can't get away from a player.

Улучшенная подрезка крыльев

Improved Wing Clip gives your Wing Clip ability a 20% chance to immobilize the target for 5 seconds. This is another one of those talents that for PvE is a personal choice between a select few of the talents in the first couple of rows. I choose this as Подрезать крылья is spam-able, and you can pretty much force it to proc the immobilize after a few uses if, for some reason, something needs to be CC'd. This is the same reason I would pick it in PvP over Удержание. Not only are traps not usable in combat, but they also have a cooldown making it harder to take advantage of that talent, and you will most likely be using Замораживающая ловушка anyway.

Хитрые ловушки

Clever Traps increases the duration of Freezing and Frost trap effects by 30% and the damage of Immolation and Explosive trap effects by 30%. Again, as spoken about traps just above, you won't be laying traps down that often, and for both PvE and PvP, there are better choices for your talents at this point.

Остаться в живых

Survivalist increases total health by 10%. Simple, not much explaining needed here. Increases your chance to survive, solid talent choice for this row. Some specs will only get 4/5 to reach talents in other trees which is still good.

Сдерживание

Deterrence when activated, increases your Dodge and Parry chance by 25% for 10 sec. A strong defensive cooldown for both PvE and PvP. Kiting mobs around is sometimes a Охотник's duty in Classic WoW, and sometimes things don't always go according to plan. Whether it's, you or someone in your group, messing things up having this as a back up has saved my skin countless times. Also very strong in PvP, especially if you are stuck in melee as it opens up for Укус мангуста and Контратака.

Мастерство в установке ловушек

Trap Mastery decreases the chance enemies will resist trap effects by 10%. This is another one that doesn't need much explaining. It's not that good, and your talent points will be better off spending in other areas.

Верный шаг

Surefooted increases hit chance by 3% and increases the chance movement impairing effects will be resisted by an additional 15%. This talent is outstanding, especially earlier on when you won't have as much hit% gear. As a raider and PvPer, you will want this talent if you can't get to hit cap. You may switch it out as the game goes on into potentially finishing 5/5 Улучшенная метка охотника or 5/5 Улучшенный дух ястреба. As for PvP, you may keep this talent forever depending on which spec you play and what gear you can obtain.

Улучшенная симуляция смерти

Improved Feign Death reduces the chance your Feign Death ability will be resisted by 4%. You might get this talent late in the game with a lot of gear if you are running the Lightning Reflexes spec, as you will pull a lot of solo DPS increasing your potential aggro and need to drop it using Притвориться мертвым. But Притвориться мертвым won't be resisted too often and enemy players won't resist it, making it pretty lackluster overall.

Инстинкт убийцы

Killer Instinct increases your critical strike chance with all attacks by 3%. If you are this deep into the survival tree, you will most likely be running a PvP spec though there is a viable survival PvE spec, though it is often frowned upon. If however, you are playing this deep in survival, this is a key talent to have.

Контратака

Counterattack is a strike that becomes active after parrying an opponent's attack. This attack deals 40 damage and immobilizes the target for 5 sec. Counterattack cannot be blocked, dodged, or parried. This talent doesn't mean much for PvE, but if you are playing into Молниеносные рефлексы you will most likely take it just because the other talents to bring you up to Lightning Reflexes don't do much, and this can be used outdoors and in PvP. It is quite strong against melee in PvP as it will snare them for 5 seconds allowing you to get range on them.

Молниеносные рефлексы

Lightning Reflexes increases your Agility by 15%. This means the more agility you have, the more this talent will grant you. This talent is one of the strongest personal talents a Охотник has but unfortunately, most of the talents before it provides little to nothing for DPS and not much utility or any buffs for the group. You have to have a lot of agility to make this talent worthwhile taking, and even at that point, you cost a group of Воин and Разбойник a Аура меткого выстрела buff. This talent is mainly going to be for PvP specs, but you might use it at some point if you can reach the appropriate gear levels to make it worthwhile.

Жало виверны

Wyvern Sting is a stinging shot that puts the target to sleep for 12 sec. Any damage will cancel the effect. When the target wakes up, the Sting causes 300 Nature damage over 12 seconds. Only usable out of combat. Only one Sting per Hunter can be active on the target at a time. This spell is useless for PvE and bad for PvP. With a 2 minute cooldown and only being usable in combat this spell is weak. It's also affected by the dead zone! So if someone is on top of you, you can't just feign death and cast it, unlike a trap. This ability is a waste of a talent point unless you are just using it for fun.

WoW Classic Leveling Talents

Бешенство: Each point of this talent only increases the chance for your pet to gain the proc, but the amount of attack speed that you gain is a constant 30%, because of this you don't necessarily need 5/5 in this talent. If you're using a pet such as Сломанный Клык, which has a 1.0 attack speed, you will probably only need 4 points in Frenzy to have full uptime on the buff. On the other hand, if you're pet has a slower attack speed (something closer to 2.0), you might want to use the full 5 points to make sure your pet has the buff.

Улучшенное лечение питомца: This talent can be good in certain situations and although I don't personally like to use it if you find your pet being debuffed constantly you can invest a point here. Once again, this talent comes down to preference, and it's up to you to decide if it fits your playstyle.

Улучшенный контузящий выстрел vs. Эффективность: When you reach the Marksmanship talent tree you will start with 5 points in one of these talents, and it depends where you are in comparison to other players. If you are far ahead of everyone else and won't be pvping, then you should take Эффективность to increase your mana...efficiency. If you're surrounded by other players and are likely to get into a pvp scenario, you should take Улучшенный контузящий выстрел for the 20% chance to stun.

just hit 60 yesterday, using a 31/20/0 build, mostly questing.

I intend to raid, and dungeon, but of course, want to still be viable for continued questing and farming.

will the MM/SV 2/31/18 build still be decent enough, all around, or is that too specialized for raid / dungeon content?

thank you

Комментарий от GibbleFenwick

It's disappointing that this has clearly just been renamed from Classic for Seasons of Mastery, without consideration for specific SoM changes.

E.g.

Hunters generally can't use Serpent Sting in a raid environment as there are only 16 slots available for debuffs in Classic, other debuffs are more important

The above is no longer true.

Yes Improved Serpent Sting is still unfavourable.
But this is because it has narrow benefit and loses out to other more impactful talents - not because of limited debuff slots.

What about imp serpent sting on anniversary realms? no debuff limit
