Hey everyone my hunter is just PVPing right now but pretty soon I'm going to start leveling him, and I was wondering if you should give me a good marksmanship spec. I tried looking in the other posts as well as the sticky, but I think the sticky is out of date because the talent tiers seem to be moved around...so try to flame too much.

Thanks.

If you really want to go MM spec for leveling purposes I would suggest you do it with a partner, as it is a little easier. BM Spec is probably the easiest and most efficient way to level because you reduce downtime. I recently wrote a guide for a friend of mine who wanted to level up using MM spec though. This is what I gave her:

It should be noted this will only get you to level 60, beyond that is up to you. Also, you may or may not want "Hawk Eye" in the very beginning, you may want to wait until you get Silencing Shot, this is up to you. I find silencing shot to be very useful on a pvp server and the sooner you get it the better off you are. But you should never neglect your range either, being able to hit some one from 41 yards away is great, it just takes that much extra time to actually get up to you.

Imp Conc. Shot is at your leisure as well. You may wish to invest into Imp. Hunter's Mark, or something else, this is all about personal preference.

I invested into Imp. Hunter's Mark for instances and my pet. As you can see I invested more into the Beast Mastery tree to help the pet tank a little more, and so far it has helped quite a bit. I also tend to level a lot with a partner so it makes it a little easier.

Hope this helps.
