Survival is pretty good. Any shortcomings imo will be solved the moment the meta gets any faster/selfhealing gets nerfed/Rdruids gets nerfs, etc. Hopefully 8.2 addresses at least one of those.

lol didnt know anyone gave a hoot about 2s, meanwhile just a single hunter in top 100 3s?

I agree. Some specs are suffering just because of general issues with the game. if these things were fixed it would actually help Affliction too.

just because dilly and all the other jungle bunnies arent getting rank 1 handed to them doesnt mean sv is bad. Representation is such a meme argument to make.

7

huh? ssd is 2800+cr. Surv is fine, just that the meta doesn’t favor comps that surv is good on…run druid sp surv.

Ehh sads jelly and I all can be top 100, jelly rarely cares about rating and I’ve been playing stuff more for stream content even if I’ll tank but both ssds and I have been playing spriest/sv/rdruid and it’s really reliable for getting on top of the ladder

Also played thugcleave with nahj and gekz which felt solid as well, ret hunter is good too but aveng is afk on wow.

Only other comp that is truly awful for hunt is disc jungle, the other versions can get good ques with hpal/rdruid for top 100 imo.

Lol wat, I’ll still get r1 just not with disc jungle, can play other comps easily for r1.

I’m psure even though I keep tanking my rating up and down I’n still in R1 range at like 2640

idk how well surv does because I dont see them that often, so I look at leaderboards and draw conclusions from there

great, looks I got some motivation to level this hunter, surv seems more fun than destro

racial shouldnt make that much of a difference right?

11

Nope DI, NE, and human are all great for SV

I’ve been watching a few videos on SV in arena and it looks fun. I might have to drop BM for a while and give it a shot!

I enjoy BM hunter tho even if it’s not to tier (lol I’m not pushin for gladiator, I’m too new to arena for that)

13

Screw surv make MM great again!!

14

If mm gets good with straight number tuning it’ll be the worst thing to play into

15

Good I want to be the worst thing to play into

16

Of course you will because youre a monster

but youve gotta work for it :slight_smile:

17

I don’t really think there’s any working for it, I find spriest/sv/rdruid to be one of the safest comps from hunter PoV. Whenever I’ve played it I can kind of do whatever, it’s just like playing 2v2.

SV has a way bigger role when playing disc jungle than you get in scatter play, where spriest/rdruid is the main roles. It’s also what makes it super good anyways, because if everything was on SV hunters hands in current meta you just would be useless.

Dilly how are you guys dealing with melee cleaves, I’m new to this comp and at 24-2500mmr the cleaves just run down my shadow. Dk/DH especially…

19

Mostly on spriest/rdruid synergy there, like I said those kind of match ups you don’t get much impact on. Dh/Dk/Sham has felt hard, Dh is probably the best kill target. Essentially you need your spriest/rdruid to rotate defensives properly and if necessary you might need to hit healer and trap one dps while rotting another down. If you keep up enough pressure and spriest can be free then you can eventually go back to trapping healer low and finishing off the melee that’s low.

But like I said, their synergy/experience is the most important here. They need to control the game well defensively, then you need to just help find kills. That’s where it starts to feel more like you’re playing 2v2 than 3v3 where hunters usually have to be doing both of those with your aggression/momentum.

I can maybe help more with specific melee cleaves if you need.

BM and surv both have good comps at the moment. Unless you’re pushing r1 just play the one you like the most and are good at playing.

I can definitely confirm shadow / surv is very strong. Dilly wipes the floor vs me as BM with it.
