What changed since BlizzCon

Nothing. The Hunter trees are the same as the ones shown at BlizzCon.

Two independent Classic 1.12 talent datasets, compared against each other: maladr0it/classic-talent-calculator and hseager/Classic-WoW-Talent-Planner. All 431 talents they share sit at identical positions in both. Names and positions are taken from the second, which is the complete one; the first is missing Faerie Fire (Feral).
