Hunter

The fastest leveler: your pet fights while you shoot.

Damage

S

For levelling

Levelling

The pet, tamed at level 10, scales with your stats, holds threat and barely needs feeding. That is why Hunter is the class you see most in the beta and the favourite of fast solo levelers.

Strengths

The pet scales with your stats and holds the mobs
A lot of damage up to levels 40 to 50
Control (traps, Concussive Shot) and mobility (Aspect of the Cheetah)

Weaknesses

Ammo takes bag space
Almost no healing
Cat pet damage may be reduced by Blizzard

Talent trees

The class's three trees as they are in the game: each row unlocks after spending 5 points in the tree, and the number in the corner is the talent's maximum rank.
