![]() As soon as haste level increases with gear it will be the mandatory talent to use just like it was through all of BFA. There is no choice in this row if it stays as it currently is. If you don’t take GT talent you may as well not have bombs in your tool kit as they do zero damage. ![]() The following are some suggestions but really the options are endless it just depends on how committed the developers are when trying to balance the game and a class you designed be relevant to the game.Ībsolutely no reason why this cannot happen. This will also compensate for the 2 hour (4 second) cast on revive pet which is a massive damage hinderance to us if the pet dies which they do because you also made them squishy for some reason as if the pet revive wasn’t bad enough… Coupled up with low damage, no group specific utility not to mention the Melee Tax it’s tough for other people to accept a SV Hunter in their M+ or raid groups.Īs the forgotten class in Shadowlands it’s not too late in my opinion to fix them. I’m not saying this is the answer for Survival but as a bare minimum make Survival competitive with their damage. Fury Warriors during PTR got a 10% blanket Damage buff and another 5% is on its way I read. Just pump the numbers up!! Very little work needs to go into this. So… How do we fix this? Well Surprisingly easy… It’s the unfortunate reality that the general player base still sees SV as the noob/ joke class. What does this do to the player experience for a SV player? Survival has issues with being invited into groups, or invited and removed from groups because they showed up as Survival and not MM/BM. Look at Enh shaman they have Totems, or Rogues with their range of CC, so why can’t Survival have a small unique selling point? As a melee / range hybrid spec we suffer from the ‘Melee tax’ so why would you bring a melee Hunter when it brings quiet literally nothing that the other 2 range specs provide including the most important part… Damage! Then there is the other side of the coin it becomes downed out in a sea of other melee spec options that also have other utility attached to them. You can spec single target and still be massively underperforming in both single target and AOE. You can spec AOE with talents and do moderate but not overpowered AOE and you sacrifice all single target damage to achieve this. As an absolute minimum, if you Blizzard are not prepared to improve the class design due to resources and trying to balance all these borrowed power systems you’ve implemented (I get it) despite so, so, many positive changes that could be made to Survival Hunter, at very least a number tuning buff is absolutely essential to revive this class to a playable spec in PVE. It’s clear to see Survival is in a rough place and has been for a long time even during BFA. Just look at every dps spec & M+ tier lists online and again no surprise to see SV Hunter is bottom. Its main problem is ST damage even though it was buffed in 9.1, and competing for the same spot with the ranged hunters with almost no change in utility except for a shorter cd interrupt, which means if you need a hunter you will most likely bring a bm/mm. Survival is quite decent, if not good, in M+ since it has uncapped AoE on top of being a melee-ranged hybrid, then less affected by anti melee mechanics. If not let Aspect of the Turtle be cast even while under the effects of most crowd control effects (Polymorph, Fear, etc) and acts as a universal “cleanse” removing nearly all debuffs, or just give it Mimiron’s Shell. ![]() Give it a talent that increases the duration of Aspect of the Eagle not by a crazy amount just for when there is more than enemy you have some more wiggle room to get around them before they all mob on you. As a ranged spec this might not be so bad but as a melee that’s just really poor spec design in my humble opinion.ĭamage boost to single target would be nice too given that we have arguably the lowest single target damage in the game. Imagine if killing a UH DK pet removed their ability to generate Runes and Runic Power entirely and had a 4 second cast for pet just so their spec can function again. It feels horrible to play in its current state. ![]() Simple… revert the revive pet nerf or at least give us a 3min instant revive pet like Warlocks have. Mediocre defenses compared to other melee classesīelow I’m going to split this into 2 segments- PVP & PVE and open up some changes that can fix the most fun yet most underrepresented class in the game.
