Spend up to 51 talent points across the Hunter's three trees, Beast Mastery, Marksmanship, Survival, exactly as the WoW: Forever talent window allows. Every talent, rank, row requirement and tooltip comes from the game client's own data (build 1.60.1.70532, October 21, 2026), not from Classic or beta guesses.
How the Hunter talent calculator works
You get 51 points at level 60, one per level from 10. Rows unlock at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 points in that tree, and an arrow means the talent above must be at max rank. The Hunter's one-point gold medal talents are Bestial Wrath, Intimidation, Summon Hawk, Bestial Swiftness, Strider Kick, Lacerating Strikes, Deterrence, Counterattack, Sniper Shot, Scatter Shot, Trueshot Aura, Lone Wolf. The bar shows the level your build needs, including the Legacy perk Talented. More on the rules on the WoW Forever talent calculator page.

About this data
Talent trees, ranks, row requirements, prerequisites and tooltip numbers are read from the WoW: Forever client tables for build 1.60.1.70532. Where a tooltip number depends on your character, for example a percentage of your attack power, we show the formula instead of a made-up number. Blizzard can still change talents in hotfixes; when a new build ships we regenerate the calculator from the new data.
