Hunter talent trees at level 90
Hunter has 3 specializations: Beast Mastery, Marksmanship, Survival. This build uses Marksmanship. Its hero choices are Dark Ranger and Sentinel. The hero selector changes only the hero branch. Your class and specialization picks stay in place.
Marksmanship points and unlocks
| Specialization | Tree | Talents | Points at level 90 | First point | Point gates |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marksmanship | Class | 44 | 34 | Level 10 | 8, 23 |
| Marksmanship | Marksmanship | 38 | 34 | Level 11 | 8, 20 |
| Marksmanship | Sentinel | 14 | 13 | Level 71 | None |
| Marksmanship | Dark Ranger | 14 | 13 | Level 71 | None |
Available points are the sum of points earned at or below your chosen level. Each purchased rank costs one point in its own tree. Automatically learned talents cost no points. Points in your class tree cannot pay for talents in Marksmanship or either hero branch.
A marksmanship leveling example
At level 24, hunter marksmanship has8 class points and 7specialization points. Spending 8 class points above the first gate opens its next section, provided you complete the connected talents. Spending those points in Marksmanshipdoes not open the class gate. Your first Sentinel point arrives at level71.
Reaching the deeper marksmanship talents
Unmatched Precision, Windrunner Quiver, Volleyrequire 20 points above the last Marksmanship gate. Complete the connected path as well. To move points out of that path, refund these deeper talents first. A refund that leaves fewer than 20 points above the gate is blocked while a talent below it remains learned.
Comparing Trick Shots and Aspect of the Hydra
These Marksmanship options share an octagonal node with 1 rank. Choose the effect you need, then learn the rank. Replacing one option keeps the same point cost.
| Talent | Effect at its first rank |
|---|---|
| Trick Shots | When Multi-Shot hits 3 or more targets, your next Aimed Shot or Rapid Fire will ricochet and hit up to 5 additional targets for 85% of normal damage. |
| Aspect of the Hydra | Aimed Shot and Rapid Fire now hit 1 additional value not confirmed for 35% of their damage. |
Importing, exporting and sharing hunter builds
Paste a hunter loadout into the loadout box and choose Import loadout. It opens the matching specialization, including Beast Mastery, Marksmanship, Survival. For this Marksmanship plan, Export loadout includes your class picks, specialization picks and chosen Dark Ranger or Sentinel branch. Copy build link also keeps your level. Hover or focus a node to read it, click to learn, and right click to refund. On a phone, tap the node and use Learn rank or Remove rank.
Retail uses separate class, specialization and hero point pools. The older talent calculators linked above use three trees that share one pool, so their build strings are not interchangeable. Game updates can change talents and invalidate older loadouts. Check the build and data date before reusing a saved plan.
