i wish to make one…but i first want to see how they look and feel
and since Blizzard does not give me any beta keys for any expansions (since wotlk) …and since nobody is playing that d*mn spec …i can’t know.

And i wish to start the expansion strong, not deciding if a class or spec is worth playing or not…

SV Hunter in SL will be just like in BFA minus the Azerite traits for the time being. Nothing has changed bar number tuning.

I’ve been streaming a lot of Survival in shadowlands recently if you wanna take a look!
Only PvP though :blush:

YO!
All jokes aside survival is very fun, but as Mabizela said.

So most people aren’t really going to look at them because there is nothing new except for a mandatory opener hunters mark.

their still gonna be a Suboptimal specc. that plays Melee while Ranged will be Desired. :stuck_out_tongue:

and they play exactly as if u removed ur azerite neck and traits + Essences.

im not sure if investing in it would be that amazing of a choice really unless it gets buffed to enforce it into meta. which i dont deem likely as they’ve kept survival performing worse then the other 2 speccs since its design in legion.

I reckon a lot of current SV pvpers will stay SV in SL. I know Bicmex plans to as he said so on his stream earlier this week.

The PvE issue solely lies in lack of bringing utility to the raid and being a melee.
Why bring a class with a melee specc when they can do exactly the same but at range.

It’s not really as if every single player in the raid has to bring utility. But there is this increasing mindset that it must be so hence we find ourselves in the situation where we are today. SV damage is fine as is. It’s on the mechanical side that it is lacking. But 3 players were showcasing their talents in AWC round robin so obv Blizz think SV is fine.

I won’t debate SV dmg because it is fine, for pure single target and small bursty cleave.
But the point being made is, we bring nothing to the table that our ranged specs or other melee classes can’t do while they also bring some utility as well.

Considering most raids of 20 (taking for both mythic and just most raids run around that number anyway) you have 14 DPS spots, on occasion 13 if you need an extra tank or healer for whatever reason. Ideally you don’t want to bring many melee, perhaps 4-5 at a stretch 6 melee depending on how the raid is balanced.
Putting in a melee with no extraordinary abilities outside “big consistent dmg and ability to go range every 1min” isn’t really enticing to most team comps, especially when as mention we have the option to do exactly the same but at range by respeccing.

This isn’t me saying SV is bad or you can’t play it in raid (I played it exclusively until Il’gynoth HC simply due to how bad a melee fight it was and we had 1 main ranged making me the 2nd ranged in the raid), it’s just pointing out why you’d see less surv players in raids.
For M+ it’s just lack of consistent AoE that isn’t taking half our toolkit to pull off.

So fine that we’ve had very little changes on beta and STILL missing soulbinds(Conduits?) while ignoring the endless feedback from every survival player with half a mind to share ideas.

TLDR - Surv is fine, just not as enticing to bring over other melee due to lack of utility and class can specc into ranged instead.

Edit: It’s important to notice I speak more on the HC/Mythic raid standpoint, of which you can still bring anything but more to put into perspective on things.
