Hunter at level 60: Marksmanship damage
At 60 hunters in groups usually go Marksmanship: more damage from your own shots, 
Trueshot Aura for the group, and a pet that supports rather than carries. This is a starting point: Forever has no raid results yet, so treat the build as preliminary. Leveling first? See the Beast Mastery leveling guide.

Key talents. Efficiency keeps mana usable through long fights. Lethal Attacks and Mortal Shots raise critical strike chance and critical damage of your shots. Aimed Shot is a heavy shot that shares its cooldown with Multi-Shot in Forever. Barrage strengthens Multi-Shot, Aimed Shot and Volley, and Trueshot Aura gives ranged attack power to the whole party. From Beast Mastery, Deadly Aspects speeds up Auto Shot, and Unleashed Fury and Ferocity keep the pet useful.
Shot priority
- Keep Auto Shot going all the time.
- Aimed Shot or Multi-Shot when ready (they share a cooldown), without clipping Auto Shot.
- Arcane Shot while moving, Serpent Sting only on long fights where no other hunter keeps it up.
- Hunter’s Mark on the boss, Aspect of the Hawk on, Feign Death to drop threat.
Stats
Agility and ranged attack power first, hit chance until you stop missing, then critical strike. Intellect enough to last a long fight.
In the group
Your jobs are damage, Trueshot Aura, Hunter’s Mark, careful pulls, and crowd control with traps. Keep the pet on the target the tank is holding and turn its Growl off.
The build is checked against the Forever client files (build 1.60.1.70790); priorities and stats follow the original game and will be revised with Forever raid results.
