Every rank the Hunter trainer teaches, by level. Pick a level range; hover any spell for its Wowhead tooltip. "Change vs Classic" is Wowhead's comparison of the same rank with its Classic version (base values, cost, duration, cooldown).

What changed from Classic

Forever keeps the Classic Hunter spell list, but many numbers are different. Per Wowhead, these are the trainer-side changes that affect play the most:

• Aimed Shot is trained at level 20 with no talent needed. Its cast time is 2 seconds (it was 3).
• Arcane Shot costs 11% of base mana at every rank, and its base values are well above Classic's.
• Multi-Shot has a 6-second cooldown (it was 10) and costs 13% of base mana.
• Traps (Immolation, Freezing, Frost, Explosive) have a 30-second cooldown. Blizzard's launch notes say all traps share that one cooldown.
• Volley has no cooldown (it was 1 minute).
• Viper Sting now has a 15-second cooldown. Hunter's Mark values are roughly 30% higher, and Eyes of the Beast lasts 2 minutes.

The Forever trainer adds no new spells, and no Hunter ability moved to a different level. Wowhead compares the base values of each rank with Classic. Blizzard's later launch tuning raised Aimed Shot and Arcane Shot damage, so the tooltip in game is the final number.

Hunter changes at a glance (per Wowhead)

Which Hunter spells are new ranks in Forever?

Aspect of the Beast is the only base-kit spell that gains new trainer ranks, at levels 40, 50 and 60. The other new ranks belong to talent abilities: Counterattack (ranks at 30, 42 and 54), Trueshot Aura (32, 40, 50 and 60), Summon Hawk (36, 48 and 60) and Sniper Shot (48 and 58). For each of these, rank 1 comes from the talent and the trainer sells the higher ranks.

How much gold does Hunter training cost?

Wowhead's Forever trainer page adds up to 227 gold 38 silver for all 121 ranks. Blizzard's launch notes put every class at roughly 206 to 207 gold, so the two sources don't agree. Plan around the higher figure, because most of the cost lands in the 40s and 50s.

Do Hunters still need to train every rank?

Not every rank, but you should keep your main damage spells current. On the beta, a tooltip said spells cast at ranks far below your level gain less from spell damage and are less likely to trigger talents. So cheap low ranks give you less than they did in Classic. By default, the spellbook hides lower ranks, and a toggle shows them all.

Are pet abilities on this list?

No. This list only covers the class trainer. Per Blizzard's Hunter deep dive, every pet family learns Bite or Claw and Dive or Dash, plus one ability unique to that family, such as Furious Howl for wolves or Trickster's Dance for the new fox family. Mend Pet is the pet spell you buy from the trainer, at seven ranks from level 12 to 60.

Where do I train as a Hunter?

Go to any Hunter class trainer in your faction's capital or starting areas. Wowhead's data comes from Olmin Burningbeard in Ironforge, and the ranks and levels are the same for every trainer. You also change talents at a class trainer in a major city, and dual spec unlocks there at level 40.

If you'd rather skip the trainer runs and the grind between them, PewPewShop has a vetted human player level your Forever character for you, starting at from 9 EUR, with a 1–30 stage at from 22 EUR.

Talents are not taught by the trainer: plan them in the WoW: Forever talent calculator. For specs, talents and leveling, see the WoW: Forever Hunter guide.

Frequently asked questions

When does a Hunter get Aimed Shot in WoW Forever?

Hunters learn Aimed Shot from the class trainer at level 20. In Classic it was a Marksmanship talent. Per Wowhead's Forever trainer data it now has a 2-second cast instead of 3, and the trainer sells higher ranks at 28, 36, 44, 52 and 60.

Does the WoW Forever Hunter have any new spells?

The Forever Hunter trainer teaches no new spells. What it does add are new ranks: Aspect of the Beast at 40, 50 and 60, plus trainer ranks for the talent abilities Counterattack, Trueshot Aura, Summon Hawk and Sniper Shot. For those talent abilities, rank 1 still comes from the talent itself.

Do traps share a cooldown in WoW Forever?

Yes. Blizzard's launch development notes say all Hunter traps share one 30-second cooldown. In Classic, traps had a 15-second cooldown. Per Blizzard's Hunter deep dive, traps can be used in combat but are still placed only at the Hunter's own location.

When does a Hunter learn Volley and Aspect of the Pack?

Both come from the trainer at level 40. Volley gets more ranks at 50 and 58, and in Forever it has no cooldown. Level 40 is also when dual spec and Apprentice Riding unlock, so it's the most gold-heavy trainer visit of the leveling journey.

Why are my new Hunter ranks not on my action bar?

Since launch, newly learned spells are no longer placed on action bars automatically. Mana users can also find that a new rank doesn't replace the old one already on the bar. Open the spellbook after each trainer visit and drag the new ranks onto your bars yourself.
