Deadly Aspects Deadly Aspects

Hunter · Beast Mastery · Row 1 of 7 · 5 ranks
Changed from Classic

Deadly Aspects sits in row 1 of the Hunter Beast Mastery tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 5 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

Changed from Classic. This talent now works differently than in Classic, so read the ranks below before you spend any points.

What Deadly Aspects does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: While Aspect of the Hawk is active, Auto Shot has a 2% chance of increasing ranged attack speed by 30% for 12 sec. While Aspect of the Beast is active, all melee auto attacks have a 2% chance of increasing melee attack speed by 30% for 12 sec.
  2. Rank 2: While Aspect of the Hawk is active, Auto Shot has a 4% chance of increasing ranged attack speed by 30% for 12 sec. While Aspect of the Beast is active, all melee auto attacks have a 4% chance of increasing melee attack speed by 30% for 12 sec.
  3. Rank 3: While Aspect of the Hawk is active, Auto Shot has a 6% chance of increasing ranged attack speed by 30% for 12 sec. While Aspect of the Beast is active, all melee auto attacks have a 6% chance of increasing melee attack speed by 30% for 12 sec.
  4. Rank 4: While Aspect of the Hawk is active, Auto Shot has a 8% chance of increasing ranged attack speed by 30% for 12 sec. While Aspect of the Beast is active, all melee auto attacks have a 8% chance of increasing melee attack speed by 30% for 12 sec.
  5. Rank 5: While Aspect of the Hawk is active, Auto Shot has a 10% chance of increasing ranged attack speed by 30% for 12 sec. While Aspect of the Beast is active, all melee auto attacks have a 10% chance of increasing melee attack speed by 30% for 12 sec.

How to reach Deadly Aspects

Row 1 opens after you spend 0 points in the earlier Beast Mastery rows. Level 10 is the earliest you can pick up Deadly Aspects.

Is Deadly Aspects worth the points?

Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
