All work on today's talentsCounted since the Oct 30 hotfixes

Every build here works on today's Hunter talents and the 9,650 older ones the game won't take anymore are left out.
The Oct 30 hotfixes changed Hunter talents so the list only counts the 5,859 builds made since then.
Builds a few points apart count as one and the order comes from how often people make, share, save and open them. It's all recounted a few times a day.

Show all ranks

talent tag = an ability a talent grants. It shows in your book once you take the talent.

Small numbers under a spell are the level each rank is learned at.

Numbers are the beta client's at level 60 with no gear on, so your in-game tooltip will read a bit higher. Show all ranks works like the checkbox in the game's book. The General tab is kept by hand; each tooltip there says where it was read.
