Survival Hunter PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Shadowlands / Patch 9.0.2)

The stat priority for Survival Hunter in PvP is as follows:

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

Agility is the best stat in all situations. Haste is the strongest secondary stat at all times, due to it reducing the Global Cooldown on abilities and increasing your attack speed. Versatility is also the next best secondary stat. This will increase the damage/healing you do and decrease the damage you take.

In general, Survival Hunters want to get trinkets that line up well with Aspect of the Eagle and Coordinated Assault. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stats you want to be increasing are either Agility or Haste. The Agility will provide a very large increase to your damage and Haste increases your attack speed, resulting in an increase to your damage output. Here is the best gear we recommend you using as a Survival Hunter.

• Head: Sinful Gladiator's Chain Faceguard
• Neck: Sinful Gladiator's Necklace
• Shoulders: Sinful Gladiator's Chain Monnion
• Cloak: Sinful Gladiator's Drape
• Chest: Consumptive Chainmail Carapace
• Wrists: Sinful Gladiator's Chain Bracers
• Hands: Dark Praetorian's Clasp
• Waist: Sinful Gladiator's Chain Belt
• Legs: Sinful Gladiator's Chain Breeches
• Feet: Sinful Gladiator's Chain Sabatons
• Ring 1: Sinful Gladiator's Ring
• Ring 2: Stitchflesh's Misplaced Signet
• Weapon: Sinful Gladiator's Battlestave

Note: It is important to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will give you a Versatility boost that will increase your damage and healing.

Sinful Gladiator's Medallion is a mandatory trinket to have equipped at all times. This allows you to remove any crowd control on yourself. You will normally use this when you are stuck in crowd control and a teammate is at low health. Note, if you play a Human and are playing against a team with only stuns, Sinful Gladiator's Relentless Brooch is a better option.

Sinful Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity gives you Haste and has a 1-minute cooldown that increases your primary stat. This is great to use right before you activate a powerful cooldown.

Sinful Gladiator's Emblem increases your maximum health when used. This gives you an additional defensive when you think a team will be focusing you.

Sinful Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity increases your Haste and has a chance to proc your primary stat. This is an overall strong trinket, as the stat will proc often throughout an arena match.
