Hunter spells & talents

ClassDataminedBeta data

Every Hunter ability and talent in the World of Warcraft: Forever client, with exact numbers per rank compared with Classic: 59 abilities (16 changed, 4 new) and 46 talents.

New in Forever: Summon Hawk, Sniper Shot, Lacerate, Strider Kick.

How to read these numbers

Forever and Classic values come straight from each game client for the same spell ID, at the level the rank is learned. They don’t include talents, gear or spell power.
Coefficient is how much of your spell power the spell adds (per hit or per tick), as stored in the client.
Matches Classic at (derived) is the spell power at which the Forever value catches up with the Classic one. Never means Forever is lower at any spell power; Always means Forever is equal or higher from 0.
† marks spells learned below level 20. Classic’s client stores their coefficient with the low-level penalty already applied; Forever’s doesn’t. Whether Forever still applies the penalty in game isn’t confirmed, so the comparison assumes it does.
? in a tooltip is a value the client computes at runtime (e.g. from your stats). We show it rather than guess.
