>BASELINE MONGOOSE BITE. PLEASE<
Emphasize on Fury of the Eagle, being rewarded for reaching max Mongoose Bite is amazing, T90 row should be all about Mongoose Bite. Extending it, spending it for buff, a cd that add more stack per MB cast or an ability that do damage based on the stack
The “Side arms” idea is pretty fun, T60 could be a place for that. Considering that row technically doesn’t exists. Modifying Arcane Shot, Kill Shot, Serpent Sting.
T30 modifying how aoe/cleave work, Guerilla Tactics having synergy with WiF is pretty great. Hydra’s Bite having synergy with T60 serpent sting modifier, replace Butchery with caltrops (hey, a miss that thing ok) or sticky bomb. I really like Butchery, but it doesn’t fit with Wildfire Bombs being a thing.
T15, Flanking Strike being there is great idea. T15 is not just about Focus generation, but also mobility. Flanking Strike having a charge effect is great, Terms of Engagement should also refresh Disengage, Alpha Predator is nice but honestly Kill Command should have more interactions.
Should add a talent that make Harpoon to “Bind” you with the target, synergy with Term of Engagement. But i dont know where to put this or what to replace it with.
Pet synergy
What’s really the point of having pet as Survival Hunter? Having a Pet is BM hunter thing, their damage mostly came from pet and that make sense thematically. But what’s the purpose of pet as SV Hunter?
Where’s the interactions. I feel like SV Hunter need to be more close with their pet (both literally and figuratively)
There has to be some sort of interactions between you and your pet. Unlike BM hunter that told their pet what to do, SV hunter should be “one” with the pet.
Mongoose bite being baseline could also be used as a way for you and your pet to interact.
Coordinated Assault making you and your pet doing something at the same time.
Modifying many abilities.
Ie, Mongoose Bite also make pet do Basic Attack instantly
Kill Command also apply Mongoose stack
Serpent Sting causes enemy to take less healing
Wildfire Bomb causes pet basic attack to critical strike Cleave causes pet basic attack to cleave
Wing Clip root target (you attack one feet, pet attack the other)
Traps / Utility
For a Survivalist, the lack of utility to help your survivability is a bit lacking. Expanding into Traps and Bombs.
I would post this on alpha forum, but no access.
Well these just has been thing that on my mind lately, and i just want to write it down
I had fun with SV hunter in Legion but in BFA Mongoose bite is too boring
