iaWotLK: Hunter Pet Talents
Pet TalentsGeneral Info

Pets get their first talent point at level 20, and earn 1 talent point every 4 levels after that.
At level 70, pets have 13 talent points. At level 80, they have 16.
There are three pet talent trees: Tenacity, Cunning, and Ferocity.
Each pet family has access to only one tree.
Each tree has 17 total talents in 5 tiers. 9 of those are shared between all three trees while 8 are unique to one tree only.
The arrangement of the unique talents differs somewhat between trees, but all three trees have three tier 5 talents.
