World of Warcraft Talent Analysis: Beast Mastery Part 3

Tier VII
Ferocious Inspiration - what gives this the edge over Catlike Reflexes is that everyone in your party gets a 3% damage boost when your pet gets a critical hit. Note that this boost is indiscriminate, so regardless whether it’s physical or magical, everybody simply hits harder. If you took Ferocity, it makes sense to invest in this one as well.
Bestial Wrath - this talent is why you took Beast Mastery in the first place. Activating this ability increases your pet’s damage and makes it immune to any crowd control spell. That means no fear, no polymorph, no sleep, no nothing. It’s also got a decent cooldown period of two minutes, so just slap Aspect of the Viper on if you’re low on mana and you should be able to activate it. If a fight isn’t going your way, use this ability to turn the tide.

Tier IV
Improved Mend Pet - the difficult thing to do with this tier is that both talents provide you with viable options for a better pet. This one increases pet survivability. You may think that the reduced mana cost isn’t much of a benefit (and with good mana management, it’s true), but the chance to remove a debuff is a big bonus, especially when you’re up against multiple foes or elites.
Ferocity - if you’re looking for more pet damage (and who isn’t?) invest points in this. Just to end my confusion with this tier, I maxed both talents.

I currently play as a beast mastery-specced hunter on World of Warcraft. Since I’ve been playing the game for a few months now, I decided to write this guide to tell you of my experience with this talent tree and tell you how it performs in-game. Note that this guide was written on version 2.3.3 of the game. For a description of each talent, you can refer to the official talent calculator.
