In priority order: the first line that applies is the one you press. Hover a spell for what it does.

Ranked by how many of a race's racials touch what this spec does, read out of the game's own wording and out of the weapon its gear list aims for. Those are lit; the number on the right is the count. It is a measure, not a verdict: nothing in the beta has been parsed yet, so anything stronger would be a guess.

In the Marksmanship tree

• Lone WolfMarksmanship can give up the pet for a personal damage bonus, which removes pet management from the spec entirely.

Elsewhere in Hunter

• Traps can be set in combatThe single biggest quality-of-life change to the class. Classic required you to drop combat first.
• Modern pet controlPet stances and commands work the way they do in later expansions rather than Classic's clumsier version.
• Survival meleeStrider Kick and Lacerating Strikes give the tree melee tools instead of leaving it a pure utility pick.
• Damage over time can critSerpent Sting and Explosive Trap benefit, which matters most for Survival.

New abilities

An X stands where the client would put a number it works out from your own character. The source publishes the formula rather than the value, so it is left as X rather than guessed at.

• Aspect of the ViperThe hunter takes on the aspect of the viper, causing your ranged and melee auto attacks to regenerate mana but reducing your total damage done by 10%. In addition, you gain 10% of maximum mana every 3 sec. Mana gained is based on the speed of your weapon. Only one Aspect can be active at a time.
• Summon HawkCommand a hawk to dive-bomb your targeted enemy, dealing X Physical damage and continuing its assault for 18 sec. Only 2 hawks can be active at once. Summon Hawk shares its cooldown with Arcane Shot.
• Aspect of the FalconThe hunter takes on the aspects of a Falcon, increasing melee and ranged Attack Power by the same amount as their highest rank of Aspect of the Hawk. While Aspect of the Falcon is active, the Improved Aspect of the Hawk talent can now proc from and benefit melee attacks. Only one Aspect can be active at a time.
• Heart of the LionThe hunter invokes the heart of a lion, increasing total stats by 10% and Attack Power by 280 for all nearby allies, and increasing total stats for the Hunter by an additional 10%.
• LacerateWounds the target causing them to bleed for 147 damage over 21 sec.
• Enchanted FlareExposes all hidden and invisible enemies within 10 yards of the targeted area, and staves off magical darkness for 30 sec.
• Sniper ShotA steady snipe that increases ranged damage by 225.
