Beast Mastery Hunter

Beast Mastery changes

• 
  NewSummon Hawk

  16-point talent. Summons a Hawk for 18 seconds, up to two active at once.

• 
  NewFocused Fire

  Increases all your damage while a pet is active — the counterweight to Marksmanship’s new Lone Wolf.

• 
  ChangedIntimidation

  Behind Bestial Swiftness, and now grants the pet 100% critical strike chance.

• 
  ChangedEndurance Training

  Merged with Thick Hide; grants pet health and armour together.

• 
  ChangedBestial Discipline

  Mana regeneration from Spirit while casting.

• 
  RemovedImproved Eyes of the Beast

  Baseline now, as is Thick Hide via the merge.

Baseline changes — every Hunter

These apply to Beast Mastery too, regardless of where talent points go.

• 
  NewFoxes

  A new pet family with Trickster’s Dance. Every family can now learn Bite or Claw and Dive or Dash, plus one ability unique to the family.

• 
  ChangedTraps

  Usable in combat, with the cooldown raised to 30 seconds. Frost and Fire traps no longer share a cooldown — the single biggest quality-of-life change the class has ever had.

• 
  ChangedAimed Shot

  Baseline at level 20 rather than a talent.

• 
  ChangedArcane Shot

  No longer shares a cooldown with Aimed Shot. Multi-Shot now does instead.

• 
  ChangedAspect of the Beast

  Grants melee Attack Power, giving Survival a reason to use it.

• 
  ChangedPet stats

  Pets scale from your gear, but no longer receive player buffs that raise their stats.

• 
  ChangedDisengage

  Threat reduction doubled.
