Talent Builds
Stat Priority
1
Agility
Primary attack stat; higher item level is normally the first gearing filter.
2
Mastery

3
Crit. Strike
Increases critical-strike chance; its exact value changes with your build and current gear.
4
Haste
Improves cast or attack speed and resource flow; its exact value changes with your current gear.
5
Versatility
Provides consistent throughput and damage reduction.
Rotation Priority
1
Barbed Shot
Avoid capping charges and maintain its pet attack-speed effect.
2
Bestial Wrath
Use frequently after setting up Barbed Shot; Kill Command reduces its effective downtime.
3
Kill Command
Use on cooldown as the primary Focus spender.
4
Black Arrow
Use on cooldown in the current Dark Ranger setup.
5
Wild Thrash
Use whenever more than one target is present, even for brief cleave.
6
Wailing Arrow
Use near the end of Withering Fire to fit the additional Black Arrow opportunity.
7
Cobra Shot
Use as filler without delaying Kill Command or the next Bestial Wrath setup.
