Beast Mastery is the Ranged DPS specialization of the Hunter in WoW: Forever. This page summarizes its talent tree as it appears in the beta client (build 1.60.1.69913); the role is the one stated by the Icy Veins guide for the specialization.
The class's three trees, with the talents the Icy Veins guide recommends at level 20 in colour and all the others in grey. The small number on the left of each row is the points you must have spent in the tree to reach it. Point counts are shown when the guide states them; otherwise only the talents are named. This section is fixed: it does not move and does not depend on the calculator.
Four points remain for the optional talents after the two core ones.
Icy Veins: one of the best 5-point talents, a 30% haste buff for 12 s.
Icy Veins: extra 6% movement speed.
Optional: makes Revive Pet stronger and more reliable.
Optional: the strongest DPS talent available, per Icy Veins.
Optional: a close second to Focused Fire.
Optional: extra range for kiting.
Optional: quality-of-life talent for pet mobility.
In order of importance, according to Icy Veins.
What the Icy Veins guide lists for this specialization.
No source publishes a best-in-slot list or enchants for this specialization yet: the Icy Veins Forever guides only cover level 20 for now and do not detail them. The dungeon items below are ranked by rule from the stat priority and are not a best-in-slot list. This section will be filled when a source publishes them, with nothing invented on our side.
