This looks like a pretty good level 38 hunter build to me. It’s kind of like the build I had before the patch but with the benefit of thinking of things all at once. As you’re working your way up the levels in any class, the instinct is to choose the talent that gives you the most immediate benefit. Last week, for example, when my hunter hit 38 I took Bestial Swiftness and watched my owl take off and tear in to the next raptor in STV.
In contrast, when the time comes to respec by choice or as a result of a patch, there’s a different strategy at work. You can step back and look at what gives the most overall benefit. I think it’s a good idea to respec every 15 or 20 levels at a minimum. Based on my experience you can make the greedy choices then rearrange things when better options open up.
So with the latest patch, 2.0.1, I had to respec my hunter. I had to respec all my characters. So far I wrote about my level 48 Mage and Candace wrote about her level 28 Priest Spec. Today I’ll reason through what I think is a good hunter talent spec at level 38 or so.
