BiS List for Survival Hunter

This list contains the highest DPS setup from most sources, for Survival Hunter.

In most non-Tier slots, a 447 iLvl Craft is technically optimal, since you can customize the secondary stats to your liking. A few 450 iLvl Slots from Mythic Raid are the exception.

447 iLvl Great Vault items from Mythic+ are not listed here, as they are not targetable due to the RNG nature of the Vault. Mythic+ items are included at Item Level 441.

"Simming" Yourself as a Survival Hunter

Throughout this page, we will regularly refer to the importance of simming yourself on Raidbots, as it is an indispensable aspect of optimizing your character.

While we do offer generic sim charts for Trinkets, this should not be a replacement for simming yourself, at least not if you want to minmax sub-1%!

If you are new to simming and Raidbots, check out our detailed guide below.

4.

Tier Set for Survival Hunter

The Tier Set is comprised of 5 items, all carrying the Ashen Predator's moniker. Unique DPS bonuses are unlocked when wearing 2, and 4 pieces from the set:

  1. Hunter Survival 10.1 Class Set 2pc Icon Hunter Survival 10.1 Class Set 2pcWildfire Bomb Icon Wildfire Bomb damage increased by 10%, and throwing a Wildfire Bomb increases the damage of your next Kill Command Icon Kill Command by 40%.
  2. Hunter Survival 10.1 Class Set 4pc Icon Hunter Survival 10.1 Class Set 4pc — Every 30 Focus spent reduces the cooldown of Wildfire Bomb Icon Wildfire Bomb by 1.0 sec, and the target of your latest Kill Command Icon Kill Command takes 40% increased damage from Wildfire Bomb for 8 sec.

The Tier Set Bonus is absolutely mandatory for competitive play, and you should prioritize obtaining it. You can use the Inspiration Catalyst to convert regular items (from Mythic+, for example) into Tier Items.

You only need 4 pieces out of 5 to get both set bonuses. We recommend you get all items except for the Legs. Check out the BiS List for more information.

5.

Best Crafted Items for Survival Hunter

With Crafted Items, you can craft items with customizable stats in nearly all slots with up to iLvl 447. This means that for most non-tier slots, Crafted items are optimal.

If you want to learn more about the Crafting system in general and potentially craft your own items for less Gold, check out our dedicated page below.

Best Crafting Order for Survival Hunter

This is our general recommendation for the best Crafting Order. It goes for Embellishments first, as they offer the largest increase per Spark, and then goes for powerful iLvl gains.

  1. Acidic Hailstone Treads Icon Acidic Hailstone Treads
  2. Flame-Touched Chain Icon Flame-Touched Chain (with Toxified Armor Patch Icon Toxified Armor Patch or Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch Icon Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch)

  4. Signet of Titanic Insight Icon Signet of Titanic Insight (with Alchemical Flavor Pocket Icon Alchemical Flavor Pocket)
