Survival Hunter DPS Easy Mode — Dragonflight 10.0.7

This section is intended for players who are new to the game or class, have no intentions of raiding Mythic difficulty, or simply want a more straightforward way to play their specialization without being overwhelmed by the numerous priorities and active abilities that need to be taken into consideration for optimal play.

Survival is a versatile melee spec capable of exceptional uncapped AoE and solid single-target damage in a single, easy-to-play build.

For a detailed explanation of all the abilities that Survival Hunter has, check out our Spell Summary page.

The talents listed below are selected either for ease of use, or for more a more simple to understand gameplay style. Whilst in a number of cases there are alternatives on the tree that will provide more if played well, they create much more room to play incorrectly and reduce your performance. Due to this, treat this as a starting point and a primer.

The general single-target stat priority for a Survival Hunter is:

1. Haste;
2. Critical Strike;
3. Versatility;
4. Mastery.

Generally speaking, high Haste and Crit is good, while you want to avoid the other stats. Mastery is better than Versatility for single-target by a little bit, but far worse on AoE.
