Raid Verdict

Mythic+ Verdict

Aderlass

Increases your Stachelpfeil's damage and reduces its recharge time by 1 second. This is a solid choice as it increases multi-dot potential as well as helps to maintain Raserei stacks. It's one of our better conduits but falls off a bit in AoE.

Excellent

Great

Hallender Ruf

Increases the chance that your Wilder Ruf procs, thus generating you more Stachelpfeil charges. It pairs well with Eins mit dem Rudel and increases in value as we gain more secondary stats. We might eventually use this, but for now, Blutgeruch is more than enough.

Average

Eins mit dem Wildtier

Increases the damage you and your pet deal with Zorn des Wildtiers active. This is another solid Conduit choice. Bestial Wrath is our most important and frequent cooldown, and this just makes it better. As you get more gear you will see higher uptimes on Bestial Wrath, which means this conduit gains value. A strong all-around option in both single target and AoE.

Excellent

Heftiger Appetit

Provides a small amount of CDR to Aspekt der Wildnis, which has gotten a redesign with Dragonflight Prepatch. This ultimately means this conduit is very poor as the new version is not particularly strong.

Raid Verdict

Mythic+ Verdict

Kyrian

Entkräftendes Mal

Causes Resonierender Pfeil to also provide a damage buff, making it an even better cooldown.

Excellent

Necrolord

Nekrotischer Beschuss

Causes Todeschakram to deal a bit more damage and generate a bit more focus. Death Chakram is under tuned compared to other Covenant abilities, and this conduit does not do a ton to improve it.

Poor

Night Fae

Geistereinklang

Makes Wilde Geister do more damage and last 3 seconds longer. Very good conduit. The big downside to it is that is scales very poorly.

Excellent

Venthyr

Ermächtigter Abschuss

Increases the chance for Schinderschuss to proc and increases the damage of your next Tödlicher Schuss when it does proc. By itself it isn't super strong, but when paired with Beutel mit Klingenbruchstücken, it's a must have.

Excellent

Great

Endurance Conduits

Conduit

Description

Unverwüstlichkeit des Jägers

Using Totstellen reduces damage taken for a short period of time. This is a very useful trait if you are able to predict and time the incoming damage appropriately. This is by far our best defensive trait considering Hunter lacks proactive damage mitigation.

Harmonie der Tortollaner

Cooldown reduction on Aspekt der Schildkröte can be useful, but is generally only used in niche situations. As this gains ranks, pairing it with Ruf der Wildnis and Wildheit im Blut may allow us to ignore certain mechanics depending on their frequency.

Vorteil des Scharfschützen

This trait will be especially useful for raid considering most damage stems directly from the raid boss depending on the encounter (damage often comes from the environment and may not count towards this damage reduction). The downside to this effect is that it only reduces damage from a singular target (as opposed to the all-encompassing damage reduction that Unverwüstlichkeit des Jägers provides for example).

Verjüngender Wind

While the bonus healing this trait provides is nice, I don't foresee it being more useful than other endurance conduits. The initial heal from Freudentaumel is generally enough to prevent you from dying or at least give your healer an opportunity to heal you to a stable level. Hunters suffer from a lack of upfront mitigation, so traits such as Unverwüstlichkeit des Jägers or Vorteil des Scharfschützen are much more useful for us.

Kondensierte Animasphäre

Taking damage will heal you for a % of your maximum health, every 10 sec. An excellent conduit for Hunters to help combat consistent damage. It's also entirely passive, so it doesn't take any thinking to use.

Best Endurance Conduits

Unverwüstlichkeit des Jägers is by far our best option as it provides an on-demand defensive ability on a short 30-sec cooldown.

Vorteil des Scharfschützen is our next best option, depending on the encounter.

Take Kondensierte Animasphäre if a third slot is available.

Finesse Conduits

Conduit

Description

Taktischer Rückzug

Hunters get Rachsüchtiger Rückzug! It's not quite as good as its Demon Hunter counterpart, but it'll help a bit while questing or during dungeons. You have to be in melee for it to be useful so this trait isn't really too impactful for us.

Lebenskraft des Geparden

Aspekt des Geparden can be pretty useful when trying to avoid mechanics or while traversing long distances. Typically we don't really need too much movement speed so this is just a "nice to have" type trait.

Wendung des Schicksals

This is the only Finesse trait that has some sort of damage gain tied to it. While Beast Mastery doesn't really need additional focus, a slight Focus gain is better than nothing. This will probably be the go-to Finesse trait for all three Hunter specs, especially in PvP and Mythic+.

Lauer

This isn't a super useful trait except in PvP maybe. It does potentially give us a bit of extra mobility but it relies on us using Eiskältefalle and Teerfalle (which we typically don't do in our normal rotation outside of Seelenschmiedeglut).

Best Finesse Conduits

Wendung des Schicksals is the only Finesse conduit that provides some sort of DPS increase so taking it is a no-brainer. Of course, it does mean that you have to actually interrupt things now!

Lebenskraft des Geparden won't be terribly noticeable but it will help you get around passively which is better than nothing.

do you think in 9.1 going for Survivor's Rally and Cheetah's Vigor is superior to the other option on the tree?
thinking about it, I guess it comes down to personal preference and playstyle.

This doesn't discuss Condensed Anima Sphere. Is it Viable? Garbage?
