Delves		Best Survival Hunter Raid Builds As mentioned earlier, Pack Leader is significantly weaker than Sentinel. We encourage you to play Sentinel for single-target. Otherwise, the main change is that we drop Lethal Calibration and Two Against Many as those are entirely AoE focused talent, and that point is better spent elsewhere, such as Sweeping Spear. heading=false] heading=false] Best Survival Hunter Mythic+ Builds Conversely, for AoE, you always want to take Lethal Calibration and Two Against Many as those talents are just free AoE for things you'd be doing anyway without giving up much single-target at all. Sentinel is still the recommended pick here. There is another build option where you drop Savagery and heading=false] heading=false] Best Survival Hunter Delves Build The Mythic+ build is a great fit for Delves/Open World, as well as the free cleave is beyond helpful for delve pulls or AoE world quests. You also have a great deal of self-sustain and innate tankiness, and the pet is great for these content pillars as well. Sentinel is the go to pick here as well. heading=false] heading=false] Survival Hunter Leveling Builds If you're searching for advice on both the best talents to pick while leveling and the optimal order in which to take them, our leveling tips page has got you covered.

Dunno why no aspect of the Eagle in there, since it seems even more important now that we tend to use our ST more (with Mongoose Bite), and there most certainly will be fights where you'll have to get off your target(s) for some time (needing to get away from AoE, or to soak stuff for example), and it was one of the big differential from other melee.

I take it the "Essential AoE" build is for cleave damage in raids?

Comment by Oldbury

While I won't use it myself as I enjoy the playstyle of Latent build (and ran it during Shadowlands S1 despite being offmeta), I really like the addition of the "comfy" M+ build, and find that the addition of "easy mode" alternatives is something a lot of the WoWhead class guides lack, so big kudos to the writer for including this.

Why are the Tyrannical and the Burst AoE builds the exact same?

Comment by DonksterNL

I'm missing my Serpent Sting for pulling mobs together :(

Comment by jenrai

Why would you take No Hard Feelings over Intimidation in M+? Having an extra stun in the group is far more valuable than five seconds off an ability that doesn't work correctly half the time.

Comment by hlokk101

No interrupt for m+? What is this?

Comment by elbardo

Whoever wrote this doesn't play hunter. Who doesn't take Posthaste? it's a free stronger blessing of freedom for yourself every 20 seconds. Instead they take checks talents 10 seconds CDR on feign death on the raid ST?

Comment by Jomojo

Why not take Disruptive Rounds and something else instead of 2 points in Improved feign death?
