Survival Hunter 6.2

Recommended Posts

Guest Guest

I noticed you recommend Js Hunter Bar as an addon. I've been using JSHB happily for years, but it looks like it's no longer supported, and it finally broke. If I'm in survival spec it seems to mostly function, but causes my framerate to crash to an unplayable level. If I swap to MM it doesn't work at all (but my framerate is fine). If I swap to BM it mostly works after a /reload, apart from at least 1 minor thing (the tick mark that shows how much focus is needed to cast kill command is gone).

 

Is this happening to anyone else?

Sad word of caution: Assurance Of Consequence isn't working for Survival (no reduction in cooldowns).  Until it's fixed, TED and Haromm's are BiS for trinkets.

Pretty stupid nitpicky complaint about the guide but under the AoE section it states that Explosive Trap should be cast if two targets remain in the affected area for the duration. Explosive Trap no longer leaves a ground effect, instead anybody within 10 yards of the trap when it explodes will receive a debuff. Afterwards, they can be moved anywhere and still take damage.

Yeah, noticed that the other day in Naxx, where the trap wasn't leaving a ground effect (which I was planning on using the trap for).

Interesting that maxdps has Rune of Re-Origination as the best trinket. I may get one to test it on a dummy to see if pans out.

Wasn't working until I removed it and replaced it for me, so heads-up for everyone.

Is Barrage better than Glaive Toss once we have greater amounts of multistrike? I can't figure out if the focus cost puts it behind or not

 

Also now that Explosive Trap is ~93% AP is it worth using in rotation since each tick can multistrike?

In terms of damage on any number of targets (and regardless of multistrike), barrage > Glaive toss. Damage per focus, however, I'm not sure on.

Hey Guys,

 

It looks like your talents and rotations don't quite line up. For instance, you suggest taking glaive toss but don't put it in the rotation. Thanks!

We should be suggesting Barrage. SV isn't even remotely sensitive to its focus cost and if there is a fight with even 2 targets, you should be using Barrage. Only fight I would say to use Glaive on would be Iron Juggernaut.

Explosive Trap is a DPS gain if 2 or more targets will take at least 18 seconds of the DoT. So currently that would be Protectors, Paragons and Dark Shamans provided you stack them.

So this guide is for SV hunters yet the hunters that approved it are both MM and BM when looking them up in the armory? Would be nice to have an actual SV hunter approve this.

With pure DPS classes, it is very rare (if indeed it happens at all) that there is someone who plays a single spec. The way all top players do it is that they master all 3 specs, and play whichever one is strongest at any given time.

Azor and Yooz are two of the best hunters in the world and I've looked over this guide as well and I was the number one SV hunter in the US during SoO. If that makes you feel any better.

I'm a bit confused as to why mastery is so low on our stats priority.  Doesn't it increase almost all of our attacks (arcane, black arrow, explosive shot)?

Realistically, all three secondary stats (Crit, Haste, and Mastery) are all very close in weight.  Crit will still outweigh Mastery b/c it takes less Crit rating to get 1% Crit than it does Mastery to get 1% Mastery.  And then Haste is Haste which speeds up focus regen and shortens Cobra Shot cast time.

cata food and potions currently provide a better stat than panda food and potions.

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons.
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.

      Players are currently unable to catalyze gear from the Black Temple Timewalking cache into class set piece.
      It's unclear whether this limitation is a bug or an intended feature, but the gear obtained from completing this week's Black Temple Timewalking quest cannot be converted into a set piece using the Revival Catalyst, as reported on Reddit.
      I personally checked this at Antuka and can confirm that gear from the weekly quest cache cannot be catalyzed. I received the Grips of Damnation from the Essence boss yesterday, and found that the item was ineligible for conversion at the Catalyst.

      Here's how you can upgrade your legendary weapons in Dragonflight Season 4 next week!
      This one is for Fyr'alath and Nasz'uro owners. You must first farm 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. However, you can only acquire 1 Antique Bronze Bullion per week from Awakened Raid bosses. The bullion will drop in Raid Finder difficulty too.
      Next week, the cap will be raised to 2 and a catch-up method will be implemented, so players who didn't have the chance to get their first bullion can get it from the weekly quest in Valdrakken.
      Anyway, the soonest you can upgrade your legendary to the base item level of 502 is during the week of April 30th (so next week).
      Once you have 2 Antique Bronze Bullions, head to the Parting Glass in Valdrakken.

      Evokers need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for  2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Once purchased, use the consumable to upgrade your legendary to item level 502, the base item level for Season 4.
      After that, you can further upgrade your legendary using Flightstones and crests. Check out our gear upgrading guide for more info!
