How to level as Beast Mastery

  • Tame a pet as soon as you can at level 10 and keep it fed and happy.
  • Send the pet in first, let it build threat for a moment, then open with your shots.
  • When mana runs low, let Auto Shot and the pet finish the job.
  • Use Mend Pet between pulls, and save Bestial Wrath and Rapid Fire for elites.
