The capstone
Alpha's Call costs 3 points and gives: +25 Companion Damage; +150 Companion HP; +5% Damage. To take it you need Beastmaster at rank 3, Inspiring Presence at rank 3, and 25 points spent in the tree. Plan your path backwards from the capstone: spend your early points on the talents it requires, then fill in the rest.
