Was Wrath Survival Hunter like Mop?

[Memes-kingsfall]

I just briefly checked Wrath surv hunter and saw Explosive Shot, TnT, Black Arrow and almost immediately got a nostalgic rush because i loved playing surv Hunter during MoP. Please tell me it’s the same.

Do idea how survival was during mop , but in wotlk it will be the go-to spec for Naxx-Ulduar-ToC . Unlike TBC , expose weakness is a personal buff instead of an enemy debuff so all the hunters can play survival . Most min-maxers say that from ICC onwards (because of armor pen gear) you should play marksman but dunno , we shall see
But yeah , black arrow and explosive shot make the spec and rotation 10 times more fun than MM

Vague memory of it but I remember explosive shot doing big damage and the spec being very strong in T7, with that version of the spec being the basis of Survival going forward until it was deleted at the end of WOD… From what I remember though the hunters were not playing Survival in ICC (MM IIRC) and Classic will likely be on ICC 3.3.5 patch tuning.

This was caused by wide availability of ARP gear from ICC and ToC, class tuning had little impact on that. MMs outperform Survis by a solid margin once ARP cap is available. Until then Survi is the way to go.

Thanks for your replies but my question was if Surv in Wrath is like Surv in MoP.
