Hello again guys. Today and following the class guides I bring you the Beast Hunter in patch 8.0.1.
Beast Hunter in patch 8.0.1
Hunters fight their enemies from a distance, ordering their pets to attack while preparing their arrows and reloading their pistols. While their missile weapons are devastating at close and long range, hunters are also extremely agile. They are able to avoid or slow down their enemies to regain their advantage in battle.
In this guide we will talk about the Beast Hunter talents, abilities and rotation in patch 8.0.1. As I always tell you in all my guides, this is an orientation on how you can take a Beast Hunter in this patch and get the most out of it, but with the use of his character each player acquires the skill and way of playing appropriate to him and decides on everything. moment which talents and skills to use. No guide is to the letter, but if you start now with your new Beast Hunter or are somewhat lost, this is your guide;).
I also have to tell you that all this can change at any time both on my part and because some talents or abilities change throughout the patch and next expansion. If that happens, I will keep you posted.
Talents
Several talents have disappeared in patch 8.0.1:
- Major hunt
- Cobra path
- Fearsome stable
- Fearsome frenzy
- Wandering
- Fury of the beasts
- Translation blows
- Wyvern Sting
- Intimidation
- Save
Although I am still adapting to the changes we have had, here is the build of the talents that I will use with my Beast Hunter. In any case, at the moment we have a lot of ease to be able to change talents depending on the boss we are going to face, so if one of them is not to your liking, you can try any other that you think may be better for you.
- Level One: Killer Instinct - Dire Beast
- Level One: Chimera Shot
- Level One: Natural relief
- Level One: Flock of crows
- Level One: Immediacy
- Level One: Stomp
- Level One: Aspect of the Beast - Killer Cobra
Level One
- Murderous instinct: Kill deals 50% increased damage to enemies below 35% health.
- Animal companion: Your Call Pet ability also summons the first pet in your stable. The pet will obey your Kill, but will not use the abilities of its pet family.
- Fearsome beast: Summons a powerful wild beast that attacks the target and roars, increasing your Haste by 5% for 8 seconds.
I have chosen Murderous instinct for most matches as it is best for a single goal. in some specific meetings or with more objectives we can also use Fearsome beast.
Level One
- Blood trail: Barbed Shot generates 8. more focus while it lasts.
- One with the herd: Call of the Wild has a 20% increased chance to reset the cooldown of Barbed Shot.
- Chimera Shot: A double shot that hits your main target and another nearby target, dealing (79.092% of attack power)% Nature damage to one and (79.092% of attack power)% Frost damage to the other . Generate 10 focus points for each target hit.
I have chosen Chimera Shot because it is with the one that I cause the most damage and the one that I like the most of the three without hesitation.
Level One
- Burns: Your movement speed will increase by 30% when you have not been attacked for 3 seconds.
- Natural relief: Every 30 focus points you spend reduces the remaining cooldown of Arousal by 1 second.
- Camouflage: You and your pet blend into the environment and gain stealth for 1 minute. While cloaked, you heal for 2% of maximum health every 1 second.
Here I have chosen Natural relief for almost all encounters, although in certain situations we can also use either of the other two. You can try them and decide which one you like the most.
Level One
- Poisonous bite: Cobra Shot reduces the cooldown of Wrath of the Beasts by 1 second.
- Thrill of the hunt: Barbed Shot increases your critical strike chance by 3% for 8 seconds, stacking up to 3 times.
- Flock of crows: Summons a flock of crows that attacks your target, dealing [(23% of attack power) * 16] points of physical damage over 15 seconds. If the target dies during the attack, the cooldown of Flock of Crows is reset.
I have chosen Flock of crows because it is the best for a single goal and at the moment compared to the other two we have is the best for all encounters.
Level One
- Born to be Wild: Reduces the cooldowns of Aspect of the Cheetah and Aspect of the Turtle by 20%.
- Immediacy: Separation also frees you from all movement impairing effects and increases your movement speed by 50% for 4 seconds.
- Binding shot: Fires a magic projectile that links the enemy and all other enemies within 5 yards for 10 seconds, rooting them for 5 seconds if they move more than 5 yards away from the arrow.
Here I have chosen Immediacy for the increased movement speed it gives me and which is very useful in all encounters.
Level One
- Stomp: When you cast Spike Shot, your pet stomps the ground, dealing [((50% of attack power)) * (1 + Versatility)] points of physical damage to all nearby enemies.
- Trumpet: Rapidly fires a barrage of shots for 3 seconds, dealing an average of [(14.196% of attack power)% * 10] points of physical damage to all enemies in front of you. It can be used on the go.
- Estampida: Summons a herd of wild animals to stampede around you, dealing damage to your enemies for 12 seconds
Here I have opted for Stomp since it is the one that best goes in any situation.
Level One
- Aspect of the beast: Increases the damage of your pet's abilities by 30%. Increases the effectiveness of the passive Predator's Thirst, Stamina Training, and Find Your Pet's Path by 50%.
- Killer cobra: While Wrath of the Beasts is active, Cobra Shot resets the cooldown of Kill.
- Spitting cobra: Summons a Spitting Cobra for 20 seconds that attacks your target for (31.2% of attack power) damage. Nature damage every 2 seconds. While the cobra is active, you gain 2 focus points every second.
Here I have chosen Aspect of the beast by increased damage to the pet. In some single-target encounters I sometimes also use Killer cobra.

- Chimera Shot
- Matar
- Flock of crows
- Wrath of the beasts
- Aspect of the wild
- Barbed shot (with two charges or with a few seconds to obtain them)

Against various targets
Same as the previous rotation but introducing:
- Multi-shot (If we have 3 or + objectives and it is not active Slash of the beast)
- Slash of the beast (keep it active as long as there is more than one goal)
Matar it is a priority and we must keep it active whenever we can.
Use Appearance of the turtle when we see our life in danger, but taking into account that by using it we will not be able to use our abilities.
Use Tar trap y Freezing trap when necessary.
Use Counter shot to interrupt spell casting when necessary.
