By request, the most popular Hunter builds
Big Red Kitty is an amusing World of Warcraft blog focussed on Hunters. BRK recently requested some data on the popularity of Hunter builds, and I am compelled to provide. Damh’s post on BRK asked about the most popular builds for Hunters, as opposed to the most popular talents. My data on the most popular talents for Hunters can be found here.
Read on for the details…
The table below shows the most popular builds for level 70 Hunters. However, I don’t think this is actually that interesting. The number of points invested don’t tell you where they were invested in each tree, and similar builds don’t aggregate together, so things look skewed. For example, 41 / 20 / 0 comes out as the most popular build, but there are more variations on good Marksmanship builds than good Beast Mastery builds, and those variations are separated when you only look at the total points invested in each tree. I think my previous post on the most popular talents for each build is a lot more useful to understand how people spend their talent points.
