Only thing I would possibly recommend would be building up the focus of your pet so it is less likely the pet will lose aggro. That is unless you rarely plan on using your pet as a tank and doing a lot of grouping where it won't be as noticeable.

What sort of playing do you plan on doing? I can't completely tell. It looks like a mostly-normal marksman build, but this 10-31-10 looks kinda funny.

I would say Endurance Training - and only Endurance Training - for your pet is an odd choice. That's usually in conjunction with other pet talents, or on the way to improved monkey.

The marksmanship part looks fairly standard. I don't personally recommend a couple of those skills - I'm skeptical just how much hunter's mark itself does, so what's another 15%? - but I can't pick anything apart really, unless we want to get into a debate about if you want that many points or not.

Your survival talents look pretty nominal. If you're going to put 10 points in the tree, do yourself a favor and put one more into Deterrence. The wing clip suggests to me you plan on doing some pvp...is this the case?

Its actually the same talent build that a comrade of mine uses and well I decided to go the same way. its basicly only for Range Damage, the survival part just helps you get back to range and the beast is for a secundairy atack.

I actually recommend against putting a full 5 points into Improved Aspect of the Hawk. My experience is that at higher levels, 20% doesn't really add all that much to the attack power or damage. The same could be true for Improved Hunter's Mark, but I haven't experimented with that one just yet. Though I imagine that it's true. I'd suggest putting no more than 3 into each and using the points elsewhere.

I was stupid and put all my points into marksmanship and nothing else. The thing ya gotta realize, is that it all adds up to be effective: the bonus hunter's mark, the bonus aspect of the hawk, and then the bonus mort and crit shots are all gonna effect your DPS dramatically when they stack.

I've been looking for a more balanced build to compliment my pet, but wasn't sure what to take. Thanks for the info ^^
