Hi,
I'm new to the game but have not got much time to explore. I am playing a Night Elf Hunter and would like to ask:

What's the difference between Spellbook and Abilities versus Talents?

What are the difference between Hunter Spells and Hunter Talents? Can anyone recommend me a good build for Hunter or some forum / board / website which can guide me?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Abilities - does this mean we can max this out by learning from those Hunter NPC in the towns?
Talents - we cannot have have all talents, so we only choose whichever possible, is that correct?

Do we need to open certain abilities to have access to certain talents or they are not related?

Thank you all for replying to me so quickly. I just want to make some clarification.

Spellbook and Abilities can be learnt from the Class Trainer found is most towns. It can also be resetted for a cost but it gets more expensive each time. My question is, can we learn ALL the Spellbook and Abilities for the class? It only cost money, right? Most of the Spellbook and Abilities has some level requirement before we can learn them, that's why we usually choose the Filtered list when talking to the Class Trainer.

Talent is something we learn ourselves with points. We are given 61 points max and distributed accordingly among three-builds (eg: marksmanship, beast master, survival) each class or we can concentrate one just one-build (eg: marksmanship). Talent is used to improve Spellbook and Abilities, be it extra damage or lower cooldown time, etc. Most of the Talents are determine by how many talent points you have used for that particular build, right?

Is my understanding above, correct?

Last question: Can the talents on the "N"-window be resetted? For example, now I play marksmanship and later decide to go with beast mastery, so I want to reset. Is that possible?

SoLiD,
Thanks for your explanation but I'm a bit unclear with the examples you give. I have only recently joined WoW and barely have 2 hours of gameplay each day.

Can you give me an example for Hunter?

We have 61 Talent Points and for Hunters, when you press the 'N' key, the Talent window pops-up. We get to choose Beast Mastery, Marksmanship and Survival. I want to know if I wrongly clicked on one of these, can Talents be resetted?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me. I really appreciate it guys.

Just 3 more questions:
1. I see a lot of Beast Mastery Hunter or Survival Hunter builds. Other times Beast Master primarily with a little Marksmanship. Anyone of you know any good builds for Marksmanship (primary) with Beast Mastery?
2. What is a good profession for Hunters? Please recommend. I take so long just to understand Abilities and Talents.. I have zero idea about Professions.


What's a good race to play as a Rogue? I have always like Rogues / Assassin job class.

SoLiD, thank you again. I didnt know WoW also got Wiki of their own. I will read up tonight and post up if I find something which I do not understand. THank you.

Ok, I see what you mean with skinning and leatherworking, combined, I can source my own leather and make my own clothes. Just like herbalism and alchemy to make pots. THank you for the clarification.

Questions about pets.

1. I manage to tame Nightstalker Rust (forgot the name) and then brought it to fight some monsters near Auberine. Then it died, how come I cannot revive it?

2. When I click on Feed Pet, do I need to have some kind of pet food in my inventory? If yes, where can I find / buy them?

Odinn,
Thanks a lot for the guide Beast Lore is part of Beast Mastery talent? I'm in the office now so no time to read up on this yet.
