On this page, you will find out the best PvE talent choices and builds for your Beast Mastery Hunter in WoW Forever.
Beast Mastery Hunter Talent Builds for World of Warcraft: Forever
Beast Mastery Hunter has a clear build to choose if your goal is to maximize damage, with little room for alteration. However, not every point is equal; there are plenty of options where you can choose to forgo minor damage increases for strong utility talents instead. Ultimately you should choose the build that is right for the sort of content you want to do; do not be afraid to mix and match talent points!
PvE Talent Build
This is the standard Beast Mastery Hunter DPS build that focuses on optimizing damage
as much as possible, specifically for encounters and pulls where you can prepare for them.
The most important thing is to go straight down the Beast Mastery tree for 31 points
to unlock 
Bestial Wrath, followed by 20 points in the Marksmanship tree
for 
Mortal Shots.
On the way down each tree, there are a couple of optional points. You do not need 2 points
in 
Pathfinding, as the movement speed here is not required and you may decide
to not use Aspect of the Cheetah often during raids and dungeons. Second,
you technically do not need the full 5 points in 
Frenzy for full up-time, just
4 points is sufficient. However, the full 5 points are safer since it ensures your pet always procs it
on a crit, which can increase uptime if your pet has to run around and swap targets frequently.
The Marksmanship tree is where you have a few more options though.
You absolutely will want to take 
Lethal Attacks, 
Careful Aim,
and Mortal Shots. The remaining 5 points can go into either 
Improved Stings
and 
Rapid Killing for a very minor DPS increase, or you can choose to take
5 points in 
Efficiency for the extra Mana efficiency. The Mana efficiency will
only matter if you are concerned about prolonged, back-to-back encounters where you will never
be able to drink for Mana. Most of the time, you will not run out of Mana during a single encounter,
unless it starts to last more than 2-3 minutes.
Beast Mastery Hunter PvP / World / Leveling Talent Build
This is a general build for World content and PvP that combines a strong DPS base with tons of
extra utility and control. You still take the 31 points in Beast Mastery for Bestial Wrath,
but now you put 17 points into Survival afterwards. This is primarily to take 
Survival Tactics
in combination with 
Clever Traps and 
Entrapment.
This will make your traps far less likely to ever miss, and also causes them to root all targets for 5
seconds every time. This will be your most important defensive tool against melee enemies who
try to attack you. Finally, you also get 
Deterrence as an extra defensive cooldown,
followed by 3 points in 
Hawk Eye for an extra 6 yards of range. The extra range
is optional, but will be invaluable out in the open world or battlegrounds.
