Anyone else having a lot of fun with the new unpruned abilities? We legit have so god damn much utility I feel like a one man army, feels amazing.
MM is also amazing, I just hope it stays that way in SL.

MM is fun but i love the utilities that survival brings lot more.
Did you see the vertical harpoon video? Varkyrion shared it on reddit, I think Asmongold may have shared it first. Its amazing. I hope it stays that way.
what unpruning are other builds useful now or is it still mongoose bite. i mean if I get away with a butchery build.
SV feels great. It already felt unpruned to me when everything else was simpler. Now, even playing field bwahaha!
Just talent into Terms of Engagement and go questing a bit. So fun. Side note, why is that talent simming as high as the others? 
The sim assumes that you use it on cooldown. Unless something changed, thT means you have to leave melee range for a second each time you use it. Not sure id change how any of that works, but its not the best mechanic even if it sims well.

I see, makes sense. Well fun for solo play at least 
SV get slapped in the chops the second you walk into shadow lands
You lose all your passives from azerite traits which make a huge difference
They also just nerfed the life out of flayed shot and bursted down to near uselessness

I don’t like when people fawn over Survival in a transparent attempt to make it more appealing to new players.
Yeah you only lose the ability to Harpoon, Muzzle, and hit with Raptor Strike (even during Eagle) while incurring a full GCD every time you swap and I’m sure none of that is important at all for PvP, right?
Like “Melee with a touch of ranged” hasn’t been done before? Unholy and Outlaw already dabble in that. Unholy even has a pet. The only difference here is “moreso”; Survival is more ranged-capable than those specs. It’s still a melee spec that needs to stick to melee range most of the time.

You really showed them this time as they log onto MSV while RSV remains in your fantasy world.

I’m convinced Bepples is secretly an MSV double agent, meant to ensure that MSV advocates have a reason to speak up on the forums and show enough support for MSV to keep Blizzard from scrapping it.

SV is actually very fun. The biggest problem with SV right now is that 99% of Hunters won’t even give it a shot, and instead would rather whine that it isn’t ranged, even though a great deal of it currently is.

99% of Hunters choose Hunter to be ranged. Even Ion Hazzikostas has admitted this. Plus there are 12 other melee DPS specializations in the game while “fun” is entirely subjective.
“Fun” MSV for me would be something along the lines of Legion Survival without all the plate spinning. An actual melee heavy melee specialization instead of one that spams 2 pretty lame “ranged” animations that also blink so fast that you miss seeing them 90% of the time with basically only 2 melee attacks.
I’d also replace Harpoon with Flanking Strike as an opener/gap closer as well as on use rotation ability. Thematically it makes more sense than random mariner whale hunter ability.

SV now has 7 ranged abilities, you can literally play ranged SV right now if you chose to. You’ve got Auto Shot, Arcane Shot, Kill Shot, Serpent Sting, Bomb, and this isn’t even including talent options. Go check out the Beta, instead of just Pre-Patch. There’s an entire thread of people crying about how strong RANGED SV is in PvP.

I feel like, a world full of whale sized animals would have a lot more hunters with harpoons than were represented after melee was removed. Im not sure how arrows were intended to hurt Death wing.
