Beast mastery is in my opinion the best talent tree to level your hunter as fast as possible.

This Cataclysm Beast Mastery Leveling Build guide has been updated for 4.0.6 and features glyphs, rotation and 1-85 leveling talent points.

This leveling build guide designed for wow Cataclysm will let you know which talents to use to level your Hunter from 1-85.  This build guide allows you and your pet to take on large groups and solo as quick as possible to 85.   For the quickest path from your level to 85 just load up Zygor’s Leveling Guide.  Once you have gotten your max Beast Mastery skill you can play around with the rest of your talents.  We gave our favorite talents in this build guide below.

Spell Rotation:

Arcane strike till you run low on focus unless cobra proc’s then you can cast

Rotation

Initial cast – Hunter’s Mark and Serpent Sting (DoT and try to refresh this before the end of the very last tick if you have the focus to do this)

Priority:

Focus Fire if pet has full stacks of frenzy

Kill Command (whenever not on cooldown but always make sure you keep enough focus to cast this)

Arcane Shot till 40 focus

Steady Shot to regain focus

Cooldowns to use:

Bestial Wrath – 2 min cooldown, durring this time you will use kill command and arcane shot only.

Fervor – 2 min cooldown, gives 50 focus good for more arcane shots if you run out of mana.

Do You Want To Level Faster Like The Pros?

If you are having trouble leveling or need to level faster in WoW Cataclysm I highly suggest you check out Zygor’s Leveling Guide. It has the perfect leveling path that gets you to 85 faster and easier than any other way. No matter what level you are, you load the guide and it points with an arrow to the direction of each monster, quest giver, trainer etc. Its pretty crazy. It also has an in game box that tells you exactly what to do, like kill 5 boars, run west 10 miles, etc. If you dont have this in game add on guide, honestly, you are missing out. You can find out more here or check out the Zygor Cataclysm Leveling Guide Review.
