Falconry Mastery (HT_FALCON) is a self-target skill of the Hunter class that summons a falcon companion.
Overview
Falconry Mastery rents a falcon that perches with the Hunter. The falcon itself is the requirement for the Hunter's falcon-based skills and for the automatic Blitz Beat proc on normal attacks.
Mechanics
Casting Falconry Mastery on yourself, after a 1-second cast, summons the falcon. Once the falcon is present it enables Blitz Beat and Detect — both of which require a falcon — and it allows normal bow attacks to randomly trigger an automatic Blitz Beat. The falcon stays until the Hunter dismisses it or it is lost.
Notes
A falcon is effectively mandatory for the falcon branch of the Hunter: without it, Blitz Beat and Detect cannot be used and the auto-Blitz on normal attacks will not fire. Falconry Mastery is also a prerequisite for the Beast Master branch's Beast Taming.
