Beast Mastery spec will greatly increase your pet damage and survivability making them a better tank for you and also be able a lot of the damage for you. This is our recommended spec for beginners, as you will have a higher survival rate from the protection of your pet. However total damage output is a bit lower over other spec and your kill rate will be slower which could lead to slightly slower leveling.
Pros over other spec(s)
High Survivability: Your pet will make a great tank for you and their added damage will help the pet ability to hold agro.
Great PVP Spec: This is also a great spec of PVP for beginners with Bestial Wrath at level 49 and The Beast Within at level 59 which could come in handy when you need to PVP as you level up.
Prime Glyphs: Arcane Shot , Kill Command , Steady Shot
Major Glyphs: Bestial Wrath , Mending , Raptor Strike
Marksmanship is the fastest leveling spec for advanced players, your Hunter will do very high damage in short burst which is ideal for grinding monsters, 2 key talents that will help the most in the Marksmanship tree are Rapid Killing at level 10 and Rapid Recuperation at level 51.
Pros over other spec(s)
Highest DPS Spec For Leveling: The burst damage that Marksmanship can provide will set you on a killing spree with very little downtime.
Low Downtime : Rapid Killing at level 10 and Rapid Recuperation at level 51 and Chimera Shot healing ability at level 69 is extremely useful to reduce your downtime while you grind through Outland and Northrend content.
Prime Glyphs: Steady Shot , Chimera Shot , Rapid Fire
Major Glyphs: Concussive Shot , Disengage , Misdirection
The Hunter Suvival spec is a talent tree that focus a lot of damage over time (DOT) which makes it inefficient for leveling as your damage is too spread out over a set amount of time. The talent tree is also awkward to use for early leveling for example you can get Entrapment or Point of No Escape at level 17 but you won’t be able to get Ice Trap or Snake Trap until level 46 or 48 which makes the talent useless for over 25 levels.. very inefficient for leveling.
It will be a great spec for end game Raiding and PVP but I would recommend you stay away from it for leveling.

Um how is this going to help me? For Beast Mastery you put 3 points in one talent and then that was it. Maybe you could fill out the tree with the proper talents to help me level up then it will be helpful.

Chewie, with respect, if you would have used the “arrows” placed on either side of the talents, you would see the progression from LVLs 13 to 79. Thus lvling guides, hope this helps

Greetings Dugi. I found the “main Stats” feature on the DRUID page to be very helpful, but it does not appear here or on the Deathnight page. Although I haven’t checked, it may not be included on other pages as well. Just a thought. Thanks for your time and generosity.

Why dont you give glyphs for survival?
Its good in pvp
Perhaps beastmastery isnt that good because they always attack you first?
So please tell me.

Do you have a guid that shows the prim rotation for a lvl 85 marks hunter?
I can’t wait till to see how these talents will get tweaked in the future, as players get better at playing with the new system.
Thanks a bunch DUGI for yet another Oooberness Guide .^_^.
