Talents
Survival Hunter
Sentinel Level 70
Spec Tree
- Coordinated Assault + Symbiotic Adrenaline
- Is your main cooldown every minute.
- Fury of the Eagle + Ruthless Marauder
- Is your AoE cooldown preferably used on targets below 50% HP.
- Flanking Strike + Exposed Flank
- High damage ability to buff with Tip of the Spear.
- Exposed Flank makes it cleave and causes your Kill Command to cleave additional targets for 10 seconds.
- Terms of Engagement
- Mainly to reset the cooldown of your Harpoon.
Class Tree
- Wilderness Medicine
- To heal your pet more and dispel any negative effects.
- No Hard Feelings
- Reduces the damage your pet takes for 5 seconds when you Misdirection it.
Hero Talents
- For the same reasons as when you reach level 80, Sentinel outperforms Pack Leader and is your preferred pick.

- When you get Lunar Storm, try to keep the enemies in its area.
