I’ve seen a bit more Survival Hunters being taken in some RBGs. Do they take on the same role as a BM Hunter? Base sit when necessary and then just bring damage at other times?
Pretty similar roles. Their traps are both very useful for base sitting. SV can talent into an improved tar trap that makes life miserable for melee. Stealth is also quite handy.
People that don’t really know what survival is have us base sit because regardless, we are still hunters and do well guarding stuff.
People that do know the power of survival usually place us in a similar role as arms warriors with either taking down flag carriers or attacking nodes because of our aoe/cleave.
Survival is the superior PvP spec. MM is great so long as you’re sticking with the pack. I find that as Survival I can chase down a EFC easily and a range of other things. As Marksman I can stand back and pick off low HP targets, or just be a God on the Temple map.
