Hunters are one of the best classes to play in the world of warcraft, they can do a little bit of everything, which makes them very flexible. However that flexibility does start going downhill when you get into your talent builds.
However with good talent selection for your hunter, you can keep most of that flexibility and still be a good all around hunter.
There are several hunter builds you can go with, WoTLK talents have expanded a little more, and have made some skills a lot easier to use, even a few have combined which have increased the value of some talents greatly.
The three talent tree’s you have on the hunter are beast mastery, marksmanship and survival. Perhaps the most popular talent tree is the beast mastery tree. Followed by a distant second by the marksmanship tree. While the survival talent tree has some good talents in it, it is mostly seen as a supportive tree, and not many people at all spec into it.
The beast mastery talent tree is the most popular by far, it’s purpose is to increase the abilities of your pet. Pets are good start with, but with the beast mastery talent tree, they can get considerably more armour and damage, along with special abilities that can make them extremely dangerous. Infact, a well spec’d beast mastery hunter can take on some group content solo, which is quite amazing on it’s own.
The marksmanship tree is very popular as well, as it increases the damage the hunter does directly. The purpose of this tree is to increase the damage a hunter does, and just make them more deadly, and it does it quite well. Most of the talents increase the damage done by the hunters weapons or special abilities, however there are some abilities that increase your stats directly like the combat experience talent, which increases both your agility and intellect. It also provided a couple of group buffs for your party when you’re grouped.
The most common combination of talent spec’s that people take are, beast mastery as primary, and marksmen as secondary. The other is marksmen as primary, and beast mastery as secondary. The reason for this is, either your pet is going out and doing most of the damage and your hunter is supplementing the damage, or your pet is holding agro long enough for you to mow down your target.
Hunters can wear chain armour after level 40, however as a hunter most of your damage is done at range, so you should be planning on keeping monsters and targets as far as away as possible. This is why the beast mastery tree is a most for most hunters, it makes sure that your pet can obtain and keep aggro while everyone else finishes off the target quickly. Combined with a great wow quest helper addon, you’ll find that leveling fast will never be an issue.

Druids are an extremely versatile class in the world of warcraft. They can change their primary role quite easily. In normal mode, they are a jack-of-all-trades, they do a little bit of everything but excelling at nothing. They can shapeshift into several different creatures, each providing a new primary role for the druid.
The moonkin form is a favourite amongst the casters, as it will boost healing and spell damage. This is great for a resto druid, as their primary purpose is to heal. There are a couple of restro specs a driud can take, but they all revolve around the restoration talent tree, with a few talents spent in the other tree’s to the players individual liking.
The role of a restro druid is to be able to heal a player over time, and do it extremely well. This combined with a priest’s direct heals, can keep a tank alive for a long time.
Resto’s druids are mainly used in high-end raids where the damage output of the world bosses can be excessive at times. What the restro druid is really doing, is providing a solid run of hit points for the tanks while they fight, which allow’s the tank to survive high dps bursts from the bosses as they happen, and can also counter dot’s that many bosses provide amass against the raid parties.
As you can tell, they are primarily a support class when in restro mode, but this can have it’s advantages are you are out of the main line of fire, which means you can generally get away with lesser armor and weapons that the tanks and others who are up close need to survive.
