Post your hunter buildFollow

I went the heavy pet discipline route. I like to play solo mostly, small groups some, and raid a little. Either way I use my pet as the dmg buffer/meat shield so I can kill from range. I also use it as support when healers/casters get aggro the pet can get aggro back faster than I can.

I have been heavily scrutinized by this profile but I don't care because it works very well for my play style...

Level 23 Hunter as of this post. Starting with the marksmanship tree.

Asterisks next to the talents i found especially critical. Emphasis on PvE. Good Tanking pet, ranged damage and all that jazz.

Survival Talents (0 points)

This is the one I plan.

I'm not concerning myself too much with my pet since in PvP people will go directly for me instead of it. In addition, in PvE if my pet loses hate to a mob, it will go directly to me. For that reason the survivability talents, especially the Improved Wing Clip, can get me out of a tough spot while my pet regains hate.
