Leveling a hunter look for helpFollow

After reading the guide during my spare time (webpage class...) I found that the build I had planned for my hunter (BM) was not the "cookie cutter" BM build that most use. I was wonder if mine is absolte trash because I've missed things or what ever, or if it will work fine.

Info:
-I'm level 16 atm, plan to level to 70 with BM, keeping my cat.
-I will be pvping when hit 70, hopefully some arena along with AB, AV and that jazz

My build:

-Obviously the MM talents can be changed, I couldn't figure out where to put 4 points to get to Mortal Shots. Maybe Imped Concussion Shot?

What Alla gives me:

Any tips on what to change?

Side question, if I get the big tiger in STV (bag'la'desh or w/e) how will my pet training points be changed, IE will I get to the full bonus that I would leveling a pet from level 10. Also is there enough points to spec ALL the pet training abilites, like all the resistances extra.

EDIT: Just found the pet calculator, can anyone tell me what the "ideal" pet training points would be for a PVP tiger. Or tell me that tigers suck and I should get something else.

Thankyou

All pets from one family are the same.

A pet that you tame at 70 will have the same amount of TP's as one that you leveled from level 10.

good to know. Very glad I can pick up a better looking pet at any level.

I'm a little confused...your build has Mortal Shots maxed out. And the cookie cutter build has 4/5 points in it. What do you mean "get to it".

I avoided Imp Conc Shot in my build. There are better ways to spend points. I'm MM/SV spec so I'll let others comment on the BM stuff. But your MM points look fine to me.

^Is right, you already have Mortal Shots, and Imp Conc isn't even good for PvP.

Yes sorry, I ment "get to" mortal shots. Also is there anything wrong with my BM spec.

I don't see the real need for Spirit bond personally. I'd take those 2 points and move them to Bestial Discipline while you are leveling.

I also like the thick hide talent over the improved aspect of the hawk, I just love sending in my cat to an equal leveled mob while I drink and have his health bar barely move while he is tearing into the bad melee guy.

I guess it goes against what I just said about your pet being a good tank, so this one is really up to you: Ferocious Inspiration over Catlike reflexes, It is basically an extra 3% damage for you at all times because your pet will be getting many a crits, and especially if you ever group up it covers all damage.

The 4 points you put into rapid killing and go for the throat are fine for getting to mortal shots,

thankyou all for the advice. I also just talked to a pvping BM hunter in my guild, and this is the new build I have come up with. May or may not use Spirit bond until later levels, probably wont.

I will also be getting the STV king Bangladesh (sp) tiger from STV, or whatever the elite one is with Dash and Cobra Reflexes.

I also talked to the same hunter about a shot rotation and here is what he told me:

Multi Shot, Arcane Shot, Auto Shot, Auto Shot, Multi Shot, Steady Shot, Arcane Shot......repeat. Does anyone have advice on how to change that or will it work just fine. I have skipped Aimed Shot because of the massive cast time. Is there any place I should ever use it?

Tigers suck and you need to get something else...crabs are awesome. Can you immagine the horror in your opponents' eyes when a level 70 crab is chasing them, especially when it's all BM enhanced and stuff.

You can use Aimed Shot as an opener in PvP, if you get the jump on someone. It can get some pretty nice crits, and you won't have to deal with aggro issues in PvP.

why do tigers suck????Are they not one of the few classes of pet with high dps? and yes I know aimed shot would make a good opener, probably should have said that, but in the normal pvp situation almost never will I get the opportunity to sit there for 3 secs before letting the arrow loose.

Tigers suck because I don't like 'em. Crabs are much more scary.

A Spider is better at the scare tactics , the ones in bloodmyst isle and that weird growl of theirs , but i agree the crab does have better armour and can never block your view..

The build for you looks ok to me , but i would expect your thoughts on shots if you use all of them will rapidly use all your manna in normal play , i guess in pvp it may be ok though ? ....

This Post has a very good explanation of the talents. Don't feel you need to follow a certain build when you are leveling. I recommend playing around and having fun. Certain talents are only really useful end game. (FI)
