    Chakrams now costs 15 focus (was 30).
    Carve and Butchery now capped at 5 targets.

Hey, finally some changes!

I mean that is something right?

Ya, uh, those are all old changes. Been in beta for months now. Chakram, for example, was reduced to 15 focus in build 33978. For reference, the beta is now on build 36599, and patch 8.3 was build 32593. So that was very early in development, possible during the alpha rather then the beta.

I could be wrong, but I think his list is referencing the lack of attention and changes given to Survival for a brand NEW expansion. Every other spec had at least some effort put into it - many had paragraphs of changes, SV got like 4 things. From alpha to beta, zero meaningful changes to Survival - several crippling changes were made however (Pet Rez).

Not really

they didn’t have time for SV, they had to put all their time into making MM fun. oh wait nvm.

I find it impressive their work on BM… No, wait a minute…

That depends on your view of survival some want the spec to die and be redone. While apparently by blizz actions or lack of with the “revamp” they apparently think the specs perfectly fine as is. Its a jumbled mess thus its stuck in a weird spot and thats what happens when ya try to play god. End with both sides who love or hate the spec screaming about the lack of any developmental change and thus by my point of view the video represents survival and its “changes” for SL just right :laughing: but it is just my personal view.

I think they didn’t do anything with survival because they were going to rework it again but decided they didn’t have the time. Even their shadowlands legendaries were given basically no attention. They’re azerite traits and legiondaries.

I hope they revert it back to ranged next expansion. I think it’s more likely now after they’ve shown they’re willing to revert to previous playstyles since they did it with enhancement shaman.

They also stealth fixed SS so it has a flat 12 sec duration which was all I’ve wanted for SV for a while
