Intense Focus - A deceptively simple passive talent that increases the Focus we gain from Kill Command.

Bloody Claws - Increases the reset chance of Kill Command for each Mongoose Bite stack. Currently it seems a bit counter productive as with high stacks you’re not going to be Kill Commanding that often and instead opting to squeeze out as many Mongoose Bite as you can but with all the Kill Command synergy in the tree this may change!

Explosives Expert - Adds a bit more oomph to our execute with Kill Shot slightly lowering the CD of Wildfire Bomb. More bombs are always good.

Spearhead - A brand new single-target oriented offensive cooldown that greatly increases the damage of your Raptor Strike/Mongoose Bite by enabling them to apply an extra bleed, on top of the usual pet damage increase and increased chance to reset Kill Command.

Quick Shot- Kill Command resets have a moderate chance of firing off an immediate and free Arcane Shot. Hey, extra single-target damage is never a bad thing!

Coordinated Assault - Has been completely redesigned and functions as an AoE / Execute specific cooldown focusing on Wildfire Bomb and Kill Shot—with a new Coordinated Kill passive that even turns Wildfire Bomb into a Focus generator!

Fury of the Eagle — Yes, our Artifact ability from Legion is returning! Albeit slightly different, this ability is now detached entirely from Mongoose Fury and now synergizes with, and stop me if you’ve heard this one before, Kill Command resetting itself. There’s even a new talent (Ruthless Marauder) that really ramps up the effectiveness of Fury of the Eagle in Execute range. (However, it’s an extremely tight 20% execute range which often times can be too low to get any real value in AoE)

Energetic Ally - This is similar to our old Azerite Trait, Primeval Intuition. However, it does lack the Critical Strike bonus and instead just increases our (and our pets!) total Focus.

Viper's Venom is back (sort of) and is now a passive chance to apply Serpent Sting on your target after your Raptor Strike/Mongoose Bite .However, the two-point budget here makes it a bit of a waste of a proc, as 30% is awfully high for easily maintaining.

Lunge is another throwback to our artifact, increasing our range by 3 Yards. Very useful all of the time as it frees up space in melee and makes it potentially easier to avoid certain mechanics. A very safe decision.

Tip of the SpearMongoose BiteFlanking StrikeSurvival Hunter Dragonflight Talents—First ImpressionsBloody ClawsMemory of Lucid DreamsTalent Talk0-8 Point Gate SummaryFerocityHarpoonTerms of EngagementAlpha PredatorBloodseekerFerocityEnergetic AllyGuerrilla TacticsLunge8-20 Point SummaryGuerrilla Tactics this is basically Essential with a capital E. It provides great throughput on its own and it smooths out the AoE rotation. Additionally, it even smooths out Wildfire Infusion so incredibly well from a min-maxing point of view. Carve or Butchery without it would often result in wasted cooldown reduction and without the second charge there is very little room to exploit the benefits of Wildfire Infusion bomb variants. It also leaves you room to better play around Mongoose Fury. Lunge Note: Currently, 1 yard range increase on Alpha—this is almost definitely a bug from the old three point version.

3 Yards range is incredibly underrated, and is something we had baseline throughout Legion. The amount of freedom it gives you in melee can turn some hectic fights into comfy fights (spreading with risky mechanics) as well as dramatically help with landing Carve/Butchery.
Carve OR Butchery Our single choice node in the entire spec side of the tree.

Critical in sustained AoE, not useful for ST at all. Whether we actually pick this will depend on the encounter or content we're doing. With that said, with the current tuning the node heavily favors Butchery in almost every way except cooldown.

Even with the lower CD, there are doubts that Carve will actually be competitive. Giving it either an even lower cooldown or a flat once per cast extra Wildfire Bomb CDR might help offset this without tuning Butchery in such a way that the "oomph" is gone.

Butchery's popularity in Legion mostly came down to its animation and its incredible upfront damage.

Tuning these choice nodes in a way where it heavily differentiates between Sustained and Burst damage could help replicate this, as well as giving each of the node choices a distinct purpose. Slowing down its charge rate, potentially upping the focus cost of Butchery paired with the plentiful amount of Raptor Strike/Mongoose Bite modifiers in the tree, there should be room to dramatically buff Butchery’s damage, without it becoming a "meta" Single target talent.

Note: Butchery doesn't actually work on Alpha right now. Mongoose Bite
Very powerful in Single Target and provides a much needed gameplay loop to the spec as without it, you're just keeping your dot up and hitting everything else on cooldown. It is inherently weaker than Raptor Strike, making it less suitable for AoE where your heavy-hitting filler-spender is used significantly less, but the Mongoose Fury stacks make up for it in single-target.

A fun bonus is that the Mongoose Bite animation dynamically changes with how many stacks of Mongoose Fury you have. This really adds weight to the ability and makes it very satisfying to use.

Here’s a bit of history: over time, Raptor Strike and Mongoose Bite have lost their power relative to other abilities or sources within the spec. In Dragonflight, this is looking to change. There are plenty of modifiers buffing up Mongoose Bite/Raptor Strike, and it is now no longer exclusive with Tip of the Spear. (Can we have a special 3-tip 5-fury animation? Please?)

The damage potential of a Mongoose Bite is looking impressive, and will definitely be helpful in focusing damage onto a single target when we build for it.Intense Focus
Gives us more focus to spend, but looks a lot less interesting at first glance than it really is.

With our passive regen sitting at 7.5 per GCD, a Kill Command GCD will generate 22.5 (15+7.5) focus, and a Raptor Strike GCD spends 22.5 (30-7.5) focus.

Intense Focus stops that balance, and instead lets us generate more focus per GCD than we typically spend per GCD.

Every 4th KC, we will have generated a little more than an extra Kill Command GCD worth of focus. (24 compared to the originally mentioned 22.5).

This means less Kill Commands, and more Raptor Strikes/Mongoose Bites/Serpent Stings, impacting anything that relies or interacts with the cast frequency of these abilities.

Examples include Mongoose Fury, Tip of the Spear, Predator procs, Deadly Duo, Pheromone Bomb, Spearhead, Latent Poison Injectors, Coordinated Kill and more.

Survival has always had a slight amount of a focus limitation, seeking Borrowed Powers to help offset it (lucid dreams, NTA). This was especially relevant whenever Wildfire Infusion wasn't taken. Improved Wildfire Bomb
Essentially a 2 point node to give us back Wildfire Bomb rank 2. Interestingly, this is currently multiplicative with Guerilla Tactics's direct damage buff on Alpha, whereas that hasn't been the case with our current Wildfire Bomb rank 2.

Regardless, it is a typical 2 point node that happens to be AoE biased, but is still effective for single. Nothing much else to say, simple and effective. Frenzy Strikes
Similar to Carve/Butchery, it has very limited value for ST damage, which is okay.

This has been a critical component in our sustained AoE damage throughout BFA and Shadowlands, and it will likely remain that way. But it doesn't provide all that much for Burst damage, especially when the cooldown reduction doesn't actually amount to an additional bomb. I could definitely see a range of encounters where Butchery might be picked, but Frenzy Strikes is ignored.

An example encounter might be something like Painsmith Raznal Mythic and its short damage window to deal with the few adds. The rest of our talent tree could provide plenty of options to deal with Burst AoE already. Between Fury of the Eagle, Explosive Shot, Death chakrams' weakening effect, Stampede, Wildfire Bombs and 3 Butchery GCDs we can already continue AoEing for a short while.

The lack of Wildfire Cluster also makes our Wildfire Bombs (and as such, the CDR) a little less impactful. Especially when part of its damage output includes DoT damage, which isn't always useful when mobs are dying quickly.Flanking Strike AKA strong Kill Command. Its relatively high CD for a seemingly filler spell, as well as its similarity to Kill Command makes it a little less exciting than it could have been.

Perhaps lowering its cooldown to 20 seconds, and allowing each Mongoose Fury stack to reduce its cooldown by 1 second allows it to be used once per Mongoose Fury window, giving the ability a bit extra synergy in single-target—especially considering Mongoose Bite serves as a connection point to Flanking Strike. Perhaps it could also consume all Tip/Mongoose stacks to increase its own damage done and turn into a huge nuke.

Regardless, it's a point well spent as it is, and does interact with Frenzy Strikes when taken. The downside is that the interaction is only really relevant as long as there is AoE to be done.Spear Focus

Basically similar, but inferior to a later talent: Sweeping Spear. It does serve as a connection point to Bloody Claws. Depending on how much damage Mongoose Bite actually ends up doing, this can still be a valuable talent node regardless.Viper's Venom has been redesigned and now will place the DoT of Serpent Sting directly on your target. Increasing the odds per point feels a little weird for this talent.

15% might not be enough to maintain the DoT, 30% might proc it too often for the 2nd point to be worthwhile investment. Especially as we start gaining Haste, increasing the frequency of our spenders and thus, more opportunities to proc it. Because it serves as a connection point to some more powerful talents, reluctantly spending 2 points on it can still be reasonable. 1 point for a static chance would feel better with the budget.
Sharp Edges
Seemingly undertuned (which can of course be fixed), Has no specific mechanical interactions with the rest of our kit and has very little purpose as a connection point to anything. Probably the most "fluff" talent in our entire tree, which speaks volumes about sharp and crisp our tree is. Great job! Perhaps baking this in with Lunge makes a little more sense given how Lunge is the only talent past the 8 point barrier that does not directly impact damage in some way.

Of course, not every talent needs to be a direct damage increase, but Lunge very much stands out given its position in the tree.Sweeping Spear
Objectively better Spear focus, enhancing additional abilities. You could argue its position in the talent tree is also slightly more favorable.Tactical Advantage
Simple damage node, nothing wrong with this. Some people may argue that it seems like a Bomb/AoE talent in the right side of the tree, which are otherwise dominantly Single Target talents.

However this isn't necessarily a bad thing, Flanking Strike and Wildfire Bomb are both used in Single Target. If you are building for AoE damage, you'll likely have picked the Carve/Butchery node already. and going further down into Flanking Strike and Tactical Advantage isn't that outlandish, especially considering Frenzy Strike's synergy with Flanking Strike. Another side effect of talents being positioned this way is that it also give more opportunity to branch out into other parts of the tree if desired.

With that said, Tactical Advantage remains rather simplistic. Perhaps Tactical Advantage, as a connection point from Flanking Strike itself, could introduce the Flanking Strike on Raptor Strike/Mongoose Bite synergy mechanic, referring to what was mentioned in the commentary on Flanking Strike earlier.Bloody Claws - Historically we weren't so much in the habit of using Kill Command as much as we built our Mongoose Fury stacks unless we absolutely had to. So at first glance this talent seems a little counterproductive. We do not yet know whether the addition of Tip of the Spear as well as the plethora of Kill Command interactions would change this "default" behavior however, so this may very well end up incredibly useful.

It has light "counter synergy" when paired with Wildfire Infusion, which I will touch on later.8-20 point gate Summarythis

Viper's Venom could be retuned to a 1 pt node, since it is the only route towards Wildfire Infusion. Given the nature of the increased proc rate leading to potential wasted procs especially during high haste/spender moments, spending the extra point here can feel "wasted".

Alternatively, it can be swapped with Quick Shot. Quick Shot has obvious interactions with Wildfire Infusions' Pheromone Bomb, but works as a standalone talent. Viper's Venom's new position would then allow it to feasibly spend a single point if desired.

Merge Lunge with Sharp Edges into a 1pt node. Currently, Lunge doesn't Serve as a meaningful connection point, and Sharp Edges currently feels a little fluffy or extra as it is.

Spear focus currently feels too similar to Sweeping Spear. And at 2 points, it feels like it blocks off Bloody Claws too much. Instead, it could be converted to a 1pt node which instead buffs the damage amp effect of Mongoose Fury. This also mirrors Flanking Strike's route in regards to the total points you have to spend to progress further down into the tree towards Spearhead.

Post 20 GateWildfire Infusion
Probably one of the more interesting talents in the entire tree and has been wildly popular.

A minor nuisance with Shrapnel Bomb and its interactions with our abilities is how Kill Shot does not add an Internal Bleeding stack, despite also being a physical spender like Raptor Strike/Carve/Mongoose bite. Despite how weak Internal Bleeding actually is, it almost feels a little annoying to end up with a 2 stack bleed because you just so happened to have kill shot available.

Additionally, Pheromone Bomb seems to invalidate a somewhat meaningful portion and direction of the talent tree, Building into KC reset mechanics. A 100% proc rate on Predator/KC reset can make the increased reset rates provided by Bloody Claws, and Spearhead's KC feel wasted during its uptime.

Perhaps for every % beyond 100, KCs damage could be amped by 1% to help offset this.
Alternatively, the guaranteed proc rate could be lowered with some of its power being put into enhanced Kill Command damage instead to make room for other reset talents to remain meaningful.

Guaranteed procs with no additional effort also set a "risky" foundation for builds that end up plain Kill Command spamming despite your current Focus,(especially with interactions such as Quick Shot). This then undermines some of the main objectives within a builder-generator spec. Such as we have seen with the current Mad Bombardier set bonus. Perhaps this is a non-issue given Pheromone Bombs limited uptime in a typical situation, especially since it doesn't seem likely to build into Bloody Claws when going for an AoE focused build anyway. but it is worth noting.Quick Shot
I like the idea of this talent assuming this will end up working with our Sidearm crossbow, it is a neat little interaction that leans into off spec fantasy a bit. Hopefully it won't be powerful enough to undermine the specs overall playstyle resulting in "proc Fishing" at max focus. In my opinion, this should be a neat bonus/reward for triggering a KC reset, and not a playstyle on its own. Coordinated Assault
Since the rework to Bonded Companion (now Deadly Duo) It makes a little more sense, However the Kill Shot portion of the talent remains fundamentally unusable (outside of the 20% HP threshold) until talented into Deadly Duo. Perhaps swapping the “Kill Shot can be used on any target regardless of the target’s HP”-effect with "Bleeding Gash" between Coordinated Assault and Deadly Duo is preferable. with Deadly Duo giving a 50/100% chance to trigger Bleeding Gash.Killer Companion
Buffs KC, plain and simple. Its spot in the tree makes sense, but perhaps its power for a 2 node talent in the midst of all the other talents in this part of the tree does not.Fury of the Eagle
Fairly praised within Trueshot Lodge's Survival Hunter Discord community. It is clearly meant as an AoE tool especially with Ruthless Marauder, as its Channel Time and power over the 4 sec channel on a single target is rather weak, similar to how it was in Legion.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing. But its bonus "Execute" interactions with Ruthless Marauder does lead to potentially strange gameplay.

Note: The cooldown reduction on a Kill Command reset doesn't currently work.Ranger
Simple damage amp, providing a wide range of extra damage to ranged abilities.
This is very useful indeed, and its position in the tree is ideal. Viper's Venom and Coordinated Assault building off of Serpent Sting and Kill Shot respectively can both quite easily reach Ranger.Coordinated Kill
Recently reworked, as spoken about when discussing Coordinated Assault, the Bleeding Gash and Kill Shot parts of the respective talents could be swapped to solve the light dependency issue.

The cooldown Reduction on Wildfire Bombs can end up a little "too much" depending on how this interacts with Explosive Expert. If you're not talented into Wildfire Infusion, regular Wildfire Bombs are not capable of stacking its dot onto the target and additionally are not capable of adding onto an existing dot timer through the "pandemic" mechanic as you would normally expect. Wildfire Bombs also do not possess the ability to stack its dot through "ignite" mechanics, something that Pouch of Razor Fragments could do, for instance.

With this in mind, you need 6 seconds in between every bomb to ensure that no damage is wasted. We only need 50% haste, which is easily achievable during bloodlust, to hit a 12-second cooldown on our Wildfire Bombs. if we then cut this cooldown in half (aka the 50% provided by Deadly Duo), we're already at the 6 second cooldown mark where we can no longer benefit (without a loss) of the cooldown reduction. And this isn't even considering the cooldown reduction Explosives Expert is providing yet, which will further lower the amount of haste we need before we run into this problem.

Whether this interaction is an oversight, or intended to be built around, we currently have two solutions to this problem

1. Just don't talent into Explosives expert.

Not ideal at all from a design perspective, even if we wouldn't want the talent anyway

2. Make sure you talent into Wildfire Infusion

The different bomb colors provided by Wildfire Infusion can independently be on the same target simultaneously, conveniently "dodging" a lack of Wildfire Bomb's capability to "ignite" its DoT power.

Ideally however, allowing these dots to "Ignite" would solve this interaction, and would solve such issues in the future, as this hasn't been the first time we run into this problem. Explosives Expert
Adds some good value to Kill Shot in AoE/add waves. Technically works standalone on ST, but works best with Coordinated Assault and Deadly Duo.Spearhead
Lovely new cooldown, Providing a long range leap and meaningful Raptor Strike/ Mongoose Bite damage, as well as providing some KC reset chance making it quite similar to our old version of Coordinated Assault.

In its Baseline form, this isn't really a button you will “feel”—it is rather passive in the way it deals its damage, but it can be expanded on with Coordinated Kill.Ruthless Marauder
Expands onto Fury of the Eagle's Execute mechanic, but in a way that leads to potentially strange gameplay. Its crit rates are also a little overboard.

First of all, Fury of the Eagle provides an additional 30% critical hit rate, that's a lot of crit rate already.

Then Ruthless Marauder adds an additional 45% Critical Hit, which will put its crit rate at 85%—even if our character has no additional crit from any other source, given that a Hunter has a baseline crit chance of 10%. Despite the execute crit rate of Fury of the Eagle being reduced from 50% to 30% not long ago, making it a bit more reasonable, overcapping crit chance will still be fairly easy.

Secondly, it only provides this extra crit rate against enemies under 20% HP, as well as refunding Wildfire Bomb and Flanking Strike CD as it crits. This makes it dramatically stronger under 20% health, However in typical AoE packs this is too low of a health threshold to channel a 4 sec channel inside of the execute threshold. It also makes it difficult to make use of the refunded Wildfire Bomb CDR following the somewhat long channel on low health targets, not to mention Wildfire Bombs DoT.

Raising the Health threshold in which the secondary mechanic works would be very helpful, in addition to reducing its baseline crit gain, allowing other talents and stats to build a little more into this crit mechanic.Birds of Prey
The dev’s have commented that this is probably going to be reworked and make more sense with the current new Coordinated Assault.

This talent has only ever been amazing when helped through massive borrowed power crutches such as Nesingwary's Trapping Apparatus, Blur of Talons, or Memory of Lucid Dreams. Even then it is a massive struggle to maintain in AoE, making this effectively a Single Target/Raid gimmick.

The playstyle that results from these extensions is often frustrating if not tuned accordingly, it is disproportionately punished by downtime for what often seems to be massive amounts of more work for little reward.

Furthermore, There have been tiers where we could in theory reach ~3.5 minute Coordinated Assault uptimes (on a 2 min cd) this exact same philosophy has been reined in for other classes, Notably for Icy Veins and Breath of Sindragosa putting measures in place to stop infinite CD loops.

ideally, the extension mechanic is replaced entirely, perhaps with an empowerment based on focus spent. since Spearhead is already getting such an extension mechanic.Deadly Duo

Provides effects you can "feel" to Spearhead, reduced cost granting a more spammy spender.

While I'm personally not a fan of a Kill Command Reset based extension mechanic, it does make sense to interact with Kill Command resets given that Spearhead itself builds into that mechanic as well. Perhaps the Spearhead bleed could add a larger portion of Raptor Strike/Mongoose Bite's damage to what is presumably an ignited dot.Post 20 Point Gate Summary

Comment by ZtormurI really like the writing style of this guide writer. I feel optimism and excitement in his/her work.

I don't have much experience playing survival but it sure looks like a good option to step into the dragon isles as.Comment by BenedictogrNothing but respect for Thyminde. The write-up is spot on.

I think you do mention all of these, but I'm gonna share my biggest problems when trying to make a build anyway.

Firstly, too much bloat and useless mandatory points in the 8-20 range. I can't believe Sharp Edges has survived more than one Alpha build. No one has absolute garbage like that in their tree blocking the good talents like we're paying a tax for something. Viper's Venom is also of very dubious usefulness, but not only are we forced to take it as it's the only connection to the ever mandatory Wildfire Infusion, but we have to dump two points into it. This leaves us with absolutely no flexibility. Then Spear Focus is literally just a worse Sweeping Spear. It's the kind of talent designed by someone with zero insight into the spec, just picking a main ability and slapping a % increase onto it like we're in Classic.

Then in the 20+ range, my main issue is that Spearhead is made hard to access because of Killer Companion. It's just a 10% increase to KC. It's boring, it's probably not a huge increase, and it costs 2 points. It essentially makes Spearhead feel like a 3-point talent, because I'm only spending points on this crap just to get to Spearhead. Yeah, this system is meant to be about meaningful choices, but the choice should be "do I pick this awesome thing or the other awesome thing?", not "do I pick these two awesome things or that one other awesome thing that also needs me to drop two points down the drain?". So my attempts to make a single-target build with Spearhead always find me hitting a wall because I'm immediately 2 points down with nothing to show for it.

In a more abstract way, I can't quite figure out what the intended behavior is meant to be for the spec. Are we going to be spamming KC now that everything seems to focus around resetting it? Why so much focus on resetting it when all that you get from it is another KC and possibly a free Arcane Shot that you don't even have to press? Why so many reset-boosting talents when Pheromone is literally 100% chance? Is KC going to be our heavy hitter now with all the stuff boosting it? And if Mongoose is still meant to be our main hitter, why are there no more meaningful interactions with that other than yet another KC reset talent?

Birds of Prey increases the duration of Coordinated Assault, but CA doesn't help spam Mongoose at all or empower it in any way, if anything it adds more stuff in the way. And KC extends Spearhead, but Spearhead is the cooldown that promotes spamming Mongoose and doesn't add anything to KC other than the reset chance. So if I'm taking advantage of those extensions, then I'm not taking advantage of the cooldown itself. What am I meant to be doing? I don't think the Survival guy at Blizzard has any idea.

Not to mention they took Serpent Sting, an integral part to this and only this spec for ages, and they put it in the class tree, along with our talent and our azerite power for it, when they could have used it to fill the spec tree with more interesting talents that don't make me feel like I'm wasting my points. Oh and they outright stated they are not fixing our obviously problematic Mastery in any way, so not to be a downer, but I don't have much faith in whomever is in charge of the spec.Comment by LarstrogWell written first impression of the new Hunter Talent trees in Dragonflight! Would love to see a an option to Guerilla Tactics, buffing butchery/carve somehow. Having a meele aoe instead of beeing forced to throw bombs could've been fun.Comment by YxiomelBloody Claws might be cooler if you got the buff after Monngoose Bite fades:
"When Mongoose Bite fades, Kill Command gains increased reset chance for each stack of Mongoose Bite for "
... or something like that. I feel that would fit better into a build-burn-build-burn playstyle that Mongoose seem to imply.Comment by RohendarAfter all of the changes to hunter talent tree, survival still feels bloated, with several unfun talents mandatory to take just to travel down the tree and a lot of those contradicting any kind of playstyle you would want to focus in. Pets talents blocking KC reset etc it's just dumb.Comment by BethiaIs there a link to the BM hunter writer's first impressions of that tree?Comment by WhomiduThis is a great response to the current tree. Good mix of constructive criticism, encouragement, and hope (which lots of players are looking for right now).

A lot of the feedback points seem well thought out and could easily be implemented, or used as a starting point for devs to iterate on. Well done!Comment by DoolBIs there a link to the BM hunter writer's first impressions of that tree?Comment by Agim4I no longer play WOW but still like to read wowhead, just a habit one would say. The author of this guide is amazing in breathe and detail. Clearly written and explained. Simply impressiveComment by Mujinfu25I just wish Mongoose Fury would change on Mongoose Bite especially if Kill Command is getting all these free procs. Change it to where the 14 sec starts at your 5th stack, maybe lower the duration to 8 secs~ or lower the max stack to 3. The only thing Kill Command resets really help is Fury of the Eagle. I don't have Alpha so I still don't know what we can all do especially with Ranger Talent. With Explosive Shot being 30 sec cd maybe have KC lower its cd in Survival tree.Comment by XalonMJG2Finally getting some Melee abilities I hope. Been a while since they were removed,

Survival Hunter should be Good with Pets and Ranged, but specialize in Melee/Traps.
