Notes that apply by 40

  • Your pet tanks; you shoot. Endurance Training first so the pet survives the level 10–20 jump, then Focused Fire for shared damage.
  • Spirit Bond at 30 regenerates both of you between pulls so you almost never sit. Bestial Wrath at 40 for elites.
  • Pets scale with your gear in Forever, so your bow upgrades are pet upgrades too. Fox, Wolf and Cat are good early families; see hunter pets.
  • After 40, Marksmanship: Lethal Attacks, Efficiency (15% cheaper shots) and Careful Aim (Attack Power from Intellect).
