Hunter levelling
A ranged adventurer whose first pet changes the whole pull. Build Beast Mastery for a dependable companion and learn pet control before adding more enemies.
The current beta level cap is 30. Levels 31–60 describe later planning from the published talent structure, not content currently playable through level 60.
Jump to a level
Choose your Hunter and starting area
Choose the same region and realm or ruleset as your friends. Open Create Character, pick a faction and a race that offers Hunter, select the class, customise your appearance and name, then enter the world. Human Hunter is new in Forever. Choose the ordinary race you want to play; unlock-only options and their starting journeys are separate.
Expect ranged attacks before you get a pet. Choosing Hunter does not give a new character a permanent companion at creation. Read the starting weapon and ammunition tooltip, arrange your action bar, then follow the introductory quest chain.

Official announcement · checked 2026-10-04
Announced Hunter and Druid class design. Later beta notes override older details.
Levels 1–9: range first, melee when needed
Start at a comfortable distance with Auto Shot. Serpent Sting is a level 4 milestone, Arcane Shot 6 and Concussive Shot 8. Use a damage-over-time effect when the enemy will live long enough to take it; spending mana on the last moments of an easy fight gives little benefit.
When an enemy reaches you, use your available melee tools or make space safely. Do not run through an unexplored camp to preserve one ranged shot. Watch your health and where a second enemy could join the fight.
For starting directions, Jen’shan in the Valley of Trials and Grif Wildheart near Kharanos are Classic trainer references. A new Human Hunter should follow the current introductory trainer quest rather than a Classic class-location assumption. Use the finder to check the evidence for your own starting hub.
Consider professions during these first levels, as local training becomes available. Skinning can fit a route that kills many beasts; Mining with Engineering is an alternative that uses ore for gadgets. Sell materials to fund training or save them for crafts, rather than trying to maximise every profession immediately. Keep enough money for spell training and repairs; a profession is a choice about your budget, not a prerequisite for accepting quests.

Level 10: tame, then practise control
Complete the current class introduction to taming and learn the pet commands. Send the pet to one target, allow it to engage, then attack from range. Keep Follow or Passive accessible so you can stop an unwanted chase and bring the pet back.
Maintain the pet as well as your character. Check its abilities and health before a difficult pull. A pet in danger can need healing, a retreat or a different target; sending it into another group is not a substitute for recovery. Blizzard’s beta updates changed taming and ammunition behaviour, so inspect current restrictions rather than importing an old Classic checklist.

Forever author guide · checked 2026-10-04
Original current-beta pet-control and early-stage advice; subjective rankings are not treated as measured outcomes. Publication date is not inferred from a changing update label.
Recommended solo route: Beast Mastery
The first points improve the aspects you use, then add Focused Fire and travelling utility. Pet movement and damage become more useful after taming, which is why this route invests in them as the companion joins your journey.
Summon Hawk is a later ability choice, not a replacement for understanding your permanent pet. The current author guide notes a shared cooldown with Arcane Shot: choose the button that suits the fight rather than expecting both to be independent bursts. Intimidation arrives at the 21-point milestone.
One ordinary talent point per level from 10. No Legacy bonus points. This is a recommended solo route, not a claim of universal optimal damage.
| Character level | Spend the points | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 10–14 | Deadly Aspects: 5 points | 5/5 |
| 15–16 | Focused Fire: 2 points | 2/2 |
| 17–18 | Pathfinding: 2 points | 2/2 |
| 19 | Improved Revive Pet: 1 point | 1/2 |
| 20 | Bestial Swiftness: 1 point | Pet mobility and Intimidation prerequisite |
| 21–24 | Unleashed Fury: 4 points | 4/5 |
| 25 | Summon Hawk: 1 point | New ability choice |
| 26 | Unleashed Fury: 1 more point | 5/5 |

Levels 10–20: upgrade the bow, manage the pet
Inspect a quest’s ranged weapon reward before choosing a melee alternative you will rarely use. Venomstrike is a named bow comparison with an equip requirement of 19. The current Forever dungeon guide lists it from Lord Serpentis in Wailing Caverns. Check your group’s readiness and the attack tooltip; reaching 19 does not guarantee a drop. A more expensive weapon is not automatically worth delaying your main attack ranks or supplies.
Agility is useful for ranged attack power as well as level-dependent critical strike. The client baseline gives a Hunter +20 ranged AP and +20 Armor from +10 Agility, before racial, talent or other modifiers. Strength is not an interchangeable ranged-attack upgrade.
Mend Pet is a level 12 milestone, Multi-Shot 18 and baseline Aimed Shot 20. Multi-Shot needs care around enemies your group has controlled. At 20, inspect Aspect of the Cheetah and Freezing Trap as travelling and control tools; do not replace safe positioning with a promised escape.
Compare the attributes on your next upgrade
Use your class and level. Ordinary weapon, spell and form calculations have different limits.

The AP contribution is added to the weapon's base DPS. It is not total combat DPS. Listed weapon speed is used; haste, misses, crits, armor, procs and special attacks are excluded.
Uses existing plus added effective Intellect: the first 20 contribute 1 mana per point; above 20, 15 per point. This is neither Spell Power nor mana regeneration.
“pp” means percentage points: +1 pp takes 5% to 6%, before other modifiers. Crit contributions are not total crit chances.
- Stamina
- The first 20 effective points add 1 health each. Above 20, the client uses your character’s current health-per-point rate; health buffs and talents can change the gain.
- Mana per 5 seconds
- +5 MP5 gives 60 mana over one minute, assuming a constant effective rate and enough missing mana to receive it.
- Spirit
- Mana recovery depends on class rules, talents and when you spend mana. See the regeneration mechanics.
- Spell Power
- Applied by each spell and rank's coefficient. It has no universal damage or healing conversion. Inspect the spell-rank data.

Assumptions & sources Build 1.60.1.70205
Interactive figures use class baseline: race, buffs, talents, form overrides and server-side changes are not applied. The client data describes configured conversions; it is not a combat-log measurement or a gear ranking.
- Attack Power: added Strength × the class's AP-per-Strength field. Agility's melee and ranged AP fields are kept separate.
- Crit: added attribute × its exact class-and-level coefficient × 100. No interpolation or Classic fallback is used.
- Ordinary swing contribution: added AP ÷ 14 × listed weapon speed. The divisor and +2 armor per Agility come from the matching client tooltip code.
- Configured mana contribution at effective Intellect I: min(I, 20) + 15 × max(I − 20, 0). An increase across the breakpoint is the difference between the old and new totals.
- Stamina's first-20 breakpoint is present in the matching constants file. The exact above-20 Forever rate has not been verified; the UI obtains it from the game's runtime API.

Levels 20–30: build a controlled pull
A normal sequence is pet attack, ranged attacks, then reassess before the next pull. If the enemy reaches you, use your learned slow or melee tools to create space. Recall the pet after the kill when another pack or patrol makes its current position unsafe.
Feign Death is a level 30 milestone. Learn what the current ability does before relying on it as a recovery plan. In a dungeon, agree on Growl and pet control with the tank; keeping a pet away from controlled enemies matters more than adding a shot to the wrong target.
Train the attack ranks and pet support you use regularly, then utility needed for your next zone or group. Check current ammunition requirements and carry appropriate supplies. Player discussions describe changed ranged timing during beta; they do not establish a fixed wind-up or justify repeating an old Auto Shot clipping rule.

Players discuss changed wand and ranged timing
Community planning discussion · checked 2026-10-04
Firsthand discussion points to changed timing. No exact wind-up, exploit or Classic rotation is imported.
Beyond 30: deepen the pet route
The current beta cap is 30. Later, finishing Ferocity and the deeper pet talents can lead towards Bestial Wrath, the 31-point Beast Mastery milestone. An ordinary all-Beast-Mastery allocation can first reach that tier at 40; investing in another tree delays it.
Choose later gear against your actual role and the source you can access. A rare pet recommendation is not a reason to stop all progress for an unverified spawn, and a future raid weapon is not a current levelling target. Test whether a change improves the whole pull, including pet recovery and travel.
