Playstyle and priorities

Plan traps and engagement distances before difficult pulls; PvP and PvE priorities may differ.

Your pet, ranged weapon and positioning work together. Training, pet happiness and ammunition preparation can matter as much as talent choices.

Leveling 1–60: what to plan

Build around the abilities already unlocked at your current level. Keep your most important survival, control or recovery tools available and adjust your talent order for solo play versus coordinated dungeon runs. The full level-60 allocation can differ from an efficient leveling order.
