Background

Tracking and fieldcraft give this class a strong connection to the wilderness. Its companion is an active part of the journey, requiring attention rather than serving only as a visual accompaniment.

Combat style

Ranged weapons, traps and pet commands create several simultaneous decisions. In this era the player character uses mana; later versions of the class should not be used to infer its resource system.

Roles and trees

Beast Mastery develops the bond with the pet, Marksmanship strengthens weapon-focused ranged combat, and Survival combines specialized shots with trap-related talents. All are damage-oriented paths with useful control tools.

Playing this patch

Class talent points and pet choices are distinct systems. This calculator covers the class trees shown here; the presence of a pet-themed talent is not a claim that every pet-planning feature is implemented.
