Our Beast Mastery Hunter guide writer, Tarlo, offers an early review of the Pack Leader Hunter Hero Talents that
Hello! the aim of this article is to review the Pack Leader tree from a Beast Mastery Hunter perspective. This tree is all about your pets, making them attack alongside you and coordinating your moves together. It is somewhat of an extension of the Beast Mastery identity, combined with the «Coordinated Attacks with your pets» aspect of Survival Hunters. But without further ado:
The main part of this tree is based around and, two sources of bonus damage for your main abilities Kill Command and Barbed Shot. It's difficult to completely judge their impact since we do not know their exact damage values or implementation. For instance, does trigger from Kill Command buffed by itself? If not, this could encourage some alternation of spells in your rotation, as you would only have the bonus active on every other Kill Command. at the very least encourages spacing your Barbed Shots out to maximize its value, but whether these damage values are worth playing around will remain to be seen.
is a nice enough final trait, adding some valuable burst to your cooldown windows and potentially mixing up the rotation just enough during those. It also adds some additional flexibility to, although I'm not sure what allowing to stack twice does in practice? This is overall a decent core package which could potentially add some complexity to your ordering of these two buttons, although there's also a chance of it being something entirely passive.
There are also a large number of talents in this tree which encourage generating a lot of Pet Basic Attacks. Your Pet Basic Attacks are Claw, Bite and Smack, which are normally passively cast by your pet on a three second cooldown. encourages generating as many as possible and making them crit to maintain its buff. means that Basic Attacks are generally more powerful and interacts with Howl well. Both encourage stacking Critical Strike as they give a large amount of Crit Damage
