Introduction to the Beast Mastery Hunter

Beast Mastery is the only ranged specialization in WoW that can do 100% of its damage while moving, and they do very well at soloing because their pet acts as a personal tank. Despite being ranged, most of their damage comes from their pets, which have to be in melee range of the target. A large portion of this pet damage is controlled by the Hunter rather than happening automatically.

Beast Mastery Hunters are the only Hunter specialization that can tame Exotic beasts, which have at least two special abilities or passives instead of the one that regular pets have.

Below you will find a beginners guide to the Beast Mastery Hunter, you can click on highlighted abilities, for a more in depth description of them.

• Use  Aspect of the Wild on cooldown

• Cast  Kill Command on cooldown

• Cast  Barbed Shot when it has over ~1.5 charges

• Use  Cobra Shot when you have a lot of Focus to burn, and when  Kill Command is not coming off cooldown within 2.5 seconds
