Survival PvP - Craven's Stratagem or Call of the Wild?

15s feight death, or 35% reduction on every single major CD the spec has?

I’d pick the latter, but it seems many people go for Craven.
I need your insight.

Craven stragem is the best for pvp by a mile because it removes all abilities not dispells so if you feign death Vt you dont get feared

Really? There’s no competition at all?
I thought 35% on everything was pretty good though.

Craven also lets you reset combat VERY easily vs specs that would usually make it impossible (think DoTs/bleeds)
Being able to Feign>camo (remember this HEALS you too!) >revive pet is really clutch.

As a Z.Troll I can’t use my 100% heal racial while DoTted, but Craven lets me clear EVERYTHING and pop Regeneratin’

Also, just in general; lower Feign CD means you can can gimp twice as many casts by Feigning. Remember any cast time spell breaks cast if you feign it properly (see: Hex/Poly/Fear). Also works vs pet classes, makes the pets go passive until commanded to attack again.

Call actually isn’t that good in any content (MAYBE for survial), you’d be better using Rylak’s or something at that point.

That’s the thing though, I am Survival. ;(
Hence the dilemma.

Craven is still better, it was more of a Caveat.
It’s still a far second. Craven is actually one of the best PVP effects in the game when used properly, lucky it’s on a class that still isn’t very good in PVP even with that effect or I’d expect a change/nerf.

With survival you can gimp CC cast attempts up close without having to LoS the poly/fear/Hex. And you can clear DoTs when you don’t want to pillar camp for a bandage cast. For that alone it’s worthwhile.

I see. Thanks for the valuable answers!

you just had best pvp sv hunter on EU (arguable best in the world) give his opinion just above your post :slight_smile:

Oh yeah, right. Well, I’ll just copy and paste his armory onto my character I guess.
