Additional Resources for Survival Hunter — The War Within (11.2.5)
On this page we will be helping you with additional resources for your Survival Hunter. This covers Add-on and WeakAura recommendations, Macros, Simulations, and some more esoteric knowledge of your spec!
Welcome to our Additional Resources page for Survival Hunter. On this page, we house more targeted information to help you get the most out of your Survival Hunter, and provide links to common third-party tools used for optimizing. We will be covering some key tools and websites, guides on how to both sim your character and analyze your own logs, alongside advice on the best practices for setting up your UI and Macros.
How To Sim Yourself
Once you reach endgame and are looking to optimize your character, making use of Raidbots to sim yourself is an incredibly powerful tool. It provides a suite of options, allowing you to compare gear upgrades, sockets/enchants, and even pick out high priority dungeons or bosses to farm for the best chance at an upgrade. The most common way this is used in the modern era of World of Warcraft is via Raidbots, which allows you to set up highly customized simulations all within your own browser!
How to Analyze Logs
In order to help you further elevate your performance and improve your ability to analyze your own gameplay, we are preparing a set of guides that teach you how to look at your own logs, find rotational issues, check for uptimes on buffs and debuffs, and much more. These are a work in progress!
Survival Hunter Mage Tower Challenge
The Mage Tower is a unique Solo PvE challenge that pits you against a challenging encounter, designed to test your understanding of the entire toolkit. For Survival Hunter, you will face off against Archmage Xylem in the Closing the Eye scenario.
If you can complete this challenge, you'll receive a unique recolor of the Wildstalker Armor — the armor set from Tomb of Sargeras. If you're looking for tips on gear, consumables, and how to tackle the unique challenges of the encounter so you can get your hands on it, we have a detailed guide linked below.
