Survival Hunter PvP Best Arena Compositions (Dragonflight / Patch 10.0.5)
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Survival Hunter (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Survival Hunter PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
In 2v2 Arena, you have a few options. It is best to
focus the enemy DPS player. When you want to crowd control the enemy healer,
you can use Harpoon,
Tracker's Net or
Intimidation to
root them in place to setup
Freezing Trap. If you are playing with a
Holy Paladin or Restoration Druid, they should use their stun to start the crowd
control. Follow that up with a
Freezing Trap. At the same time you
should be doing your sustained damage rotation. With this strategy, you are
trying to do so much single-target damage to a target that the enemy healer will
not be able to heal through it.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
- Survival Hunter + Discipline Priest
- Survival Hunter + Restoration Druid
- Survival Hunter + Holy Paladin
- Survival Hunter + Mistweaver Monk
3v3 Arena
Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena. You will be focusing on maximizing
your single target damage, while still crowd controlling the enemy healer with
Freezing Trap. When you start the crowd control chain, your teammates
should stun the kill target and you should use your burst rotation. You do not
always have to stun the kill target. If your team only has one reliable stun,
like
Hammer of Justice or
Mighty Bash, it is best to use it on
the enemy healer. It is important to note that
Tracker's Net can also
be used defensively. If you or a teammate cannot kite away from incoming
damage, you can use
Tracker's Net to slow enemies and help your
teammates.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
- Jungle (Survival Hunter + Feral Druid + Holy Paladin/Discipline Priest)
- Cupid (Survival Hunter + Retribution Paladin + Restoration Druid/Discipline Priest)
- Thug (Survival Hunter + Subtlety Rogue + Restoration Druid/Holy Paladin
- Survival Hunter + Arms Warrior + Holy Paladin/Restoration Druid
