Best Marksmanship Hunter PvP Talents
This new talent system is dramatically different from our original Cataclysm talents. Now players are given way less options in terms of talent selection, and can even change their talents in the starting gate using Tome of the Clear Mind.
Here we have your default talents for Marksmanship Hunter. Let’s break down why these talents are so promising in MoP, and any alternatives you can select depending on the composition played or up against.
Hard-Locked Talents:
A Murder of Crows as your main damage cooldown and will give you a steady stream of unavoidable damage.
Glaive Toss for more consistent pressure.
Soft-Locked Talents & Alternatives:
Narrow Escape to easily root melees and healers in order to help kite or land Freezing Trap.
Alternative: Posthaste is best if your mobility is limited by roots, primarily against Mages, adding a root breaker and sprint effect to Disengage.
Wyvern Sting helps you control enemy healers or cross CC at a ranged distance. This shares a Diminishing Return with Freezing Trap and can be removed by Druids, Monks, and Paladins since it is a poison effect. This can also be removed by Tremor Totem as well.
Alternative: Binding Shot is best if you’re against classes with a poison dispel, or if you’re against Shamans without having a Fear effect on your team.
Spirit Bond is a ridiculously strong HoT effect you’ll passively have up, and is especially good in 2v2 when you aren’t playing with a healer.
Alternative: Aspect of the Iron Hawk finds itself worth to pick up against burst heavy compositions with stuns. If you notice a Rogue, Mage, or Windwalker Monk on the enemy team you should definitely pick this talent up over Spirit Bond.
Thrill of the Hunt passively makes your Arcane Shots cheaper periodically.
Alternative: Fervor is preferred for more advanced players thanks to its extra utility. Having a spell that immediately grants Focus can be very practical for removing buffs with Tranquilizing Shot, or simply to have enough Focus to Chimera Shot or Kill Shot when we need to burst.
