BLIZZARD OCTOBER 1 NOTESOfficial

October 1 Beta changes for Hunter

Official Beta announcement · Blizzard’s October 1 development notes

Survival Deflection now grants 1/2/3/4/5% Parry, down from 2/4/6/8/10%.

The 31-point Marksmanship talent Sniper Shot now has 45-yard range and extends the next three shots within 10 seconds by 10 yards. That milestone is beyond the current Level 30 point budget.

Aggressive Mode returned for pets under the pet tab in the spell book; incorrect high-rank pet abilities on some tameable beasts were fixed.

The live Beta level cap is 30. The talent structure was reconciled through 1.60.1.70291; 21-point Level 30 routes are editorial allocations. Rank descriptions retain their separate community transcription evidence, and point-order rules remain derived assumptions.

Level 20 stages of the reviewed tree

Each route spends eleven points in the current reviewed tree. These are early stages, not the Level 30 endpoint. Choose the matching Level 20 calculator mode to inspect them.

Reviewed current Hunter grid: 50 visible nodes from Wago’s 1.60.1.70291 client structure, reconciled against Talents Forever’s export, with all 148 rank descriptions adapted from Talents Forever (CC BY 4.0, https://talentsforever.com). The raw client class table also contains two off-grid records, documented separately in the source review; they are not assigned repaired coordinates or included as extra playable talents. Visible membership is community-reconciled against the client table. One exact reciprocal Bestial Wrath–Intimidation connection is excluded under source review: Intimidation’s prerequisite direction is community-verified, while its identity, position and rank cap remain client-verified. Structural fields and rank text retain their field-level evidence. Exported effect values are tooltip transcriptions at Level 60; the calculator does not rescale them to Level 30 or simulate damage. Ordinary editorial routes spend 21 points at Level 30; the retained Level 20 page uses eleven-point stages of the current tree. One point per level from 10, five points per tier, full-rank prerequisites and the selected point order are planning assumptions, not separately verified live Beta rules or measured performance. The 69913 dataset remains a historical reference; removed old nodes are not substituted into current builds.
