Survival in legion was god awful to play which is why there were barely anyone playing it back then. The rotation was way too hard and keeping up all the dots was pure torture, especially in aoe.
I think Legion version of Survival had a good core, Flanking Strike and Mongoose Bite were some of the more satisfying buttons to press at the time and while Lacerate and Raptor Strike as buttons weren’t exactly exciting, they worked decently to round out the spec’s resource expenditure. Its big issue was the plate spinning of Mok’nathal, Lacerate, Caltrops, potentially Tar Trap + Flare with the legendary.
It needed tweaks, talent changes to make it flow well, not yet another ground up rework. Especially considering what we ended up with is almost as clunky, but without the big satisfying hits and a lot of underwhelming +damage% talents.
Totally agree! I would never miss either Mok’nathal, Lacerate nor Caltrops. In my opinion, the biggest mistake going from Legion to BfA was to make Flanking Strike a leap + focus generator at 30 sec cd and giving Mongoose Bite focus cost + removed the charges.
Also kind of miss when Fury of the Eagle damage was increased by stacks of Mongoose Fury.
