Survival Hunter DPS Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities — Dragonflight 10.2

• Maximizing Focus generated by casting Kill Command on cooldown, without ever letting it Focus cap you.
• Maximizing Focus spent on Mongoose Bite by never Focus capping. Ideally packing as much Focus as possible inside of Mongoose Fury windows.
• Maximizing the benefit of our Wildfire Bomb and its special effects offered by Wildfire Infusion.
• Playing around our Hunter Survival 10.2 Class Set 2pc by packing damage after our Fury of the Eagle.

• All the same goals as the single-target Rotation.
• Maximizing our Wildfire Bomb charge generation and reducing wasteage with Butchery and Fury of the Eagle and Ruthless Marauder.

1. Ensure Hunter's Mark is active on the target from you or another Hunter in the group!
2. Use Steel Trap shortly before combat, timing it so that it will land when the pulltimer hits 0.
3. Cast Explosive Shot
4. Use Death Chakram.
5. Use all of your Wildfire Bombs.
6. Use Fury of the Eagle.
7. Use all the Wildfire Bombs you have.
8. Activate Coordinated Assault, alongside your Potion.
9. Use Wildfire Bomb.
10. Use Kill Shot.
11. Proceed with your normal rotation, as defined by the priority list below.

This priority list describes the optimal single-target Rotation for Survival Hunter.

1. Use Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows alongside Coordinated Assault, and ideally your Potion. It is worth delaying the Mirror for Coordinated Assault at the 4, and 8-minute marks.
2. Use Ashes of the Embersoul alongside Coordinated Assault, and ideally your Potion.
3. Use Witherbark's Branch alongside Coordinated Assault, and ideally your Potion. To play this Trinket optimally, you want to collect the spheres it spawns in a staggered fashion. Collect the first one immediately, then collect the other two when the buff is just about to expire, thereby extending its buff. Doing this properly is a ~1.5% DPS increase over simply collecting them all. Try your best, but do not fret if you cannot play it perfectly every time.
