Survival Hunter 6.2

Recommended Posts

So I have looked at some guides on this and taken a look at what the best hunters in the world are doing.  In all cases, crit is the #1 stat with multistrike.  The guide needs to be updated to reflect that.  Even the hunter who supposedly helped write this, Azortharion, has his crit above his multistrike at the moment on his survival hunter.  Can we get this guide updated with the proper stats please?

Do NOT spread misinformation.  Azortharion's Hunter Guide DOES NOT have crit>MS for any spec.

If you're referring to the fact that he has more crit on his gear than multistrike, then the answer should be obvious:  6 of his pieces (including weapon, legs, and boots) have a higher stat allocation for crit, and gearing is fairly limited at this stage considering highmaul gear has a ton of crit on it and brf has been out for less than a week to get the MS gear.

I'm curious as to who you think is "the best hunters in the world"

 

The guides are properly updated with the correct stats. As Orthios has mentioned above, crit is far more abundant on gear in Highmaul, however in full BiS Foundry gear we will have much more Multistrike.

Ok,

 

    So what i looked at is the top hunters on heroic highmaul fights under rankings.  all of their gear is crit first, including the reviewer.  now, if that is only because of the stat weights in highmaul, ok.  Thats fine.  then I was wrong.  absolutely.

This is probably a stupid question, but is someone able to explain the below to me?

 

"For single target DPS, Barrage is the best choice, provided that you are also using the Steady Focus talent."

 

I can't work out what the correlation between Barrage and Steady Focus is, which results in a DPS increase. Why is Barrage the best choice only when you have taken Steady Focus as well?

 

This guide is rarely updated and no one ever answers important questions.

Because those kind of questions should be asked in the appropriate Hunter forum subsection, not here.

How about the fact that the person you quoted WAS answered by Vlad:

The reason for it is that Steady Focus grants you enough extra Focus to warrant the otherwise expensive Barrage.

 

You're also quoting something that is more than 1.5 months old.  

 

Outside of this, you offer no constructive criticism, and if you bothered to read the rest of the topic, you'd see that myself, Nnx, Azor, Vlad, and Damien all answer questions here, but as Oltier said, some questions are better posed within the Hunter sub-forum.

BiS trinkets are Scales of Doom + Beating Heart of the Mountain. MS is only too powerful for SV hunters.

I think it's funny that both commented survival players are both marksmanship and beast mastery, as well as a good amount of the players commenting. Not sure how you can manage to update a guide when you don't play the specialization. Cheers.

Just because they don't play the spec currently doesn't mean they don't know how to.

This is not a very informed comment for the reason that Orthios mentioned.

 

The reason none of us play the spec is that it is currently worse than the other two.

 

As a general rule, top players review these guides. A top player would not play the worse spec, as a general statement, so you're asking for something near-impossible.

 

With Survival being the simplest spec of them all, do you not think that players who are mastering the other two would have a pretty in-depth understanding of it, as well as ability to play it, if it was worth playing?

If you even bothered to read the comments you'd see they given an answer to a comment exactly the same as yours.

This guide is way out of date. Any updated soon?

First, just saying the guide is out of date provides no real or useful feedback. Second, the guide isn't out of date at all, except maybe recommending to use Explosion be a trap on CD on single target.

      Dragonflight Season 4 starts today, check out our updated to-do list to find out what's new!
      New Content Available This Week
      Awakened Raids are now available! The first Awakened raid this week is Vault of the Incarnates! Proiritize clearing Vault for Season 4 loot and your first Antique Bronze Bullion. The first Catalyst charge is available today, but make sure to use it after you clear Awakened Vault to see how many tier set pieces you've acquired after your run. The final boss drops an omnitoken that all classes can roll for. Killing the final boss on Heroic Difficulty yields a token that you can exchange for 1 class set piece. Click here to learn more about Awakened Class Set acquisition methods! The item level of loot from all sources has gone up by +39 item levels in Season 4. Time Rifts, Fyrakk Assaults, and Dreamsurges now all offer better loot, compared to Season 3. If you own Fyr'alath or Nasz'uro, you can upgrade the legendaries to their S4 base Item Level (502) using Scale of Awakening that costs 2 Antique Bronze Bullion, but you can only get 1 this week. You can still upgrade S3 gear, but you can no longer acquire S3 crests. New crests are available for gear upgrading. You will find the gear upgrading brackets in our guide. New rewards await in Mythic+ Season 4! The latest PvP season also introduces new rewards and better gear. This week's bonus event is Burning Crusade Timewalking You can clear dungeons to unlock slots in the Great Vault alongside Item Level 467 loot! Complete 5 Timewalking Quests for the weekly quest to receive 1 piece of item level 493+ loot. Clear Black Temple Timewalking forI Item Level 493 loot. DHs who earned both warglaives the regular way can now obtain the Weapon Arsenal from Illidan which lets them use the legendaries for transmog. Thanks to the increased reputation buff, it's super fast this week to reach Revered with the Netherwing and add some cool mounts to your collection! In Shadowlands Season 4, we've seen Fated World Bosses, but it doesn't seem to be the case with Dragonflight Season 4, so it's not really worth killing World Bosses.
    • By Stan
      Here's a reminder for all Demon Hunters! Since it's Burning Crusade Timewalking you can earn Arsenal: The Warglaives of Azzinoth from Illidan if you earned the weapons the regular way!
      Make sure to run Timewalking Black Temple on your Demon Hunter this week if you've unlocked the Warglaives of Azzinoth achievement with a character that can equip them.
      You need to collect both warglaives to use them for transmog and to unlock the “I'll Hold These For You Until You Get Out” achievement.
      Remember, achievement credit isn't shared across your account, so you must obtain both weapons with the same character.
      If you haven't acquired the regular warglaives yet, now is a great time to start farming them. That way, you'll be prepared to grab the Arsenal at the next Burning Crusade Timewalking event.
    • By Stan
      It's super easy to go from Hated to Revered with the Netherwing faction during the Burning Crusade Timewalking event, and the reputation buff helps you unlock six awesome mounts fast!
      Sign of the Twisting Nether is active this week and the buff increases Burning Crusade reputation gains from combat and quests by 50%, which means you can skip the tedious Netherwing grind.
      Normally, you would go from Hated to Neutral with the Netherwing faction upon completing the questline that unlocks the faction.
      With Sign of the Twisting Nether, you will go from Hated straight to Revered! If you haven't done the questline yet, now's the best time to do so!
      Where to Start the Netherwing Questline?
      You can start the questline at the crystals south of Warden's Cage in Shadowmoon Valley, where you must talk to a High Elf quest-giver named Mordenai wandering around the crystals. You will find more information here.
      At Exalted with the Netherwind faction, you will receive one Netherwing mount for free and can buy the rest for 200 Gold from the vendor in Shattrath City.
      The available mounts are listed below:
      Reins of the Azure Netherwing Drake Reins of the Cobalt Netherwing Drake Reins of the Onyx Netherwing Drake Reins of the Purple Netherwing Drake Reins of the Veridian Netherwing Drake Reins of the Violet Netherwing Drake Here's a screenshot to better illustrate their appearance.
