<div class="fw-notice">'''Preview guide · reviewed 16 September 2026.''' This page explains the recorded demo, not a tested launch build. Talent articles distinguish source-confirmed ranks from estimates and missing text.</div><br />
<br />
'''Hunter''' — The Hunter preview includes ranged attacks, pets, traps, and a melee-oriented Survival path. The recorded Hunter abilities use Mana; later-WoW assumptions about a player Focus bar should not replace this demo evidence.<ref name="preview">Chris Baldwin, [https://talentsforever.com/hunter Talents Forever], [https://talentsforever.com/data.json CC BY 4.0 data export], snapshot 16 September 2026.

== Choose a reading path ==<br />
The following is an editorial route through the preview, not a recommended point allocation.<ref name="preview" /><br />

! Talent tree !! What to compare !! Start with<br />
|-<br />
| Beast Mastery || Pet support and cooperation between Hunter and pet. Distinguish pet bonuses from bonuses that modify the Hunter directly. || [[Focused Fire]], [[Summon Hawk]], [[Spirit Bond]], [[Bestial Wrath]]<br />
|-<br />
| Marksmanship || Ranged attacks, Mana recovery, and choices about the pet. Read the requirements on Lone Wolf and Sniper Shot before combining them with pet-focused ideas. || [[Lone Wolf]], [[Rapid Recuperation]], [[Barrage]], [[Sniper Shot]]<br />
|-<br />
| Survival || Traps, defenses, and melee interactions. The lower tree provides useful reading for players investigating a closer-range Hunter. || [[Entrapment]], [[Predator's Edge]], [[Strider Kick]], [[Lacerating Strikes]]<br />

<br />
== Abilities and changes worth checking ==<br />
These are summarized from the pinned community demo transcription. Baseline spells and talents are identified separately where the source supports that distinction.<ref name="preview" /><br />
* '''Aimed Shot.''' The snapshot records it as trainable, with a shorter cast than the Classic comparison and a cooldown shared with Multi-Shot. It is not listed as a Marksmanship talent.<br />
* '''Aspect of the Beast.''' The demo description includes melee Attack Power as well as being untrackable. That makes it relevant to reading the Survival preview.<br />
* '''Pet-call names.''' The demo’s Call Owl is a pet-specific label for Call Pet, not evidence of a new standalone owl talent.<br />
<br />
== Plan a first beta session ==<br />
These are suggested checks for learning the class and collecting useful evidence; they are not claims about the strongest build.<br />
* When comparing Beast Mastery and Lone Wolf ideas, record whether a pet is active and which bonuses stop applying without one.<br />
* For ranged attacks, check shared cooldowns and Mana recovery before choosing a sequence based only on tooltip damage.<br />
* For Survival, separate trap control, defensive bonuses, and melee damage; the presence of defenses does not establish a supported tank role.<br />
<br />
== Race choice ==<br />
Use [[Race and class combinations#Hunter|the Hunter race list]] to separate officially announced additions from the broader preview roster. Follow the linked [[Races|race guides]] for recorded racials; a racial tooltip does not establish a universal best choice.<br />
<br />
== What remains unresolved ==<br />
Pet-family balance, pet skill acquisition, final melee-versus-ranged output, and training levels need separate beta evidence. A full pet database should identify the creature and the tested build.<br />
<br />
For corrections, record the game build, character level, spell or talent rank, and the observed interaction. Follow [[Project:Data policy]] and compare against [[Hunter talents]] before replacing preview information.<br />
