| - Beast masters were already in a good place overall, but we’ve refined existing abilities and talents to better differentiate them from other hunters. Previously, Cobra Shot filled all of your free moments in combat, leaving no time for managing your pet, which should be a defining characteristic of beast masters. To this end, and to aid in Focus accumulation, Dire Beast is now core to beast mastery, allowing you to repeatedly summon wild beasts that generate additional Focus for you through their every attack.

| - Beast masters were already in a good place overall, but we’ve refined existing abilities and talents to better differentiate them from other hunters. Previously, Cobra Shot filled all of your free moments in combat, leaving no time for managing your pet, which should be a defining characteristic of beast masters. To this end, and to aid in Focus accumulation, Dire Beast is now core to beast mastery, allowing you to repeatedly summon wild beasts that generate additional Focus for you through their every attack. To give you an idea of the Beast Master Hunter in action, here’s a basic look at their core combat abilities: Cobra Shot
* 30 Focus, 40 yd range, Instant
* A quick shot that causes moderate Physical damage. Dire Beast
* 40 yd range, Instant, 10 sec cooldown
* Summons a powerful wild beast to attack your target for 8 sec. Each time the beast deals damage, you will gain 4 Focus.
* Summoning a beast reduces the remaining cooldown of Bestial Wrath by 15 sec. Kill Command
* 20 Focus, 25 yd range (from pet), Instant, 6 sec cooldown
* Give the command to kill, causing your pet to instantly inflict strong damage to its target. Wild Call
* Passive
* Your critical strikes have a 30% chance to reset the cooldown of Dire Beast. Mastery: Master of Beasts
* Increases the damage done by your pets by 45% (with Mastery from typical gear). Additionally, to provide a glimpse at how some talents may build upon this, here’s one example of a Beast Mastery–specific talent: Way of the Cobra
* Passive
* For every pet or guardian you have active, Cobra Shot deals an additional 5% damage.
