kay: Keep in mind that these things are only on the Wrath of the Lich King beta realms so far, not on the normal realms. The Wrath of the Lich King expansion will probably launch later this year.

Now that the calculator at WoWhead is working properly, I can tell that non-Beastmaster hunters are going to have to make some seriously tough choices. For Example, there is no way to get all three of the top tier talents in Tenacity.

That’s great! Thanks for letting us know, Shelly.

Wowhead has finally been fixed, and now provides a calculator that is consistent with the in-game Beta rather than just the tooltips.

And the people rejoiced.

I really hope that you’re right mania, the roar of recovery would go a long way to making marks mana efficient enough to be viable

dochalliday: Two things. First, you can in the beta right now buy the tier 5 talents with only 12 points invested in the tree. Second, two tier 3 talents (Charge and Intervene) have a similar problem where they say that they require 10 points, but they actually only require 6. Note that all the rest of the tier 3 talents say they require 6 points invested.

Putting these two things together, I believe that the current tooltips are wrong and the current actual functionality is right. Of course I could be wrong. We’ll have to wait to see what happens in the next beta build.

So it seems pretty intuitive to me that the top tier talents would require 21 points to use (16 from being 80, 5 from the BM talent). However as I want to try some other specs I hope this isn’t the case. What makes you guys think that requiring 20 points for the 5th tier is a mistake?

been playing with the wowhead calculators for bear. I think they did really well with the final 3 talents.

Raiding: pet stays with the tank party and provides an uber 10% dodge and 10% health to party for 40 sec. <— this sounds to good to be true honestly.

Group tanking/offtanking: pet gets a true taunt for those omfg noob agro grabbing dpsers.

Solo: pet gets 30% of its total health for those pinch situations. I was also thinking taunt for solo, but hunters have too many ways to remove aggro anyways. this is better.

@Aidem: when playing the beta, you only need 12 points in the tree to unlock the tier 5 talents, despite what the tooltips say. However, the wowhead calculators appear to have other problems (like Blood of the Rhino being missing from their Tenacity tree).
