Welcome to our Survival Hunter DPS guide for World of Warcraft MoP 5.2. Here, you will learn everything you need to know about playing a Survival Hunter in a raid environment, though most of the content also applies to normal and heroic dungeons.

This guide has been reviewed and approved by Kennyloggins, a leading figure in the Hunter community, who raids in Blood Legion.

The Survival specialisation is currently performing well, although it ranks slightly below Beast Mastery. In respect to the other classes, it is in a middle-of-the-pack position. Additionally, it has a very easy to perform rotation and it is not adversely affected by high movement encounters.

To make it easy to bookmark the specific sections you are interested in, we have split the guide into 8 pages:

• Builds, Talents, and Glyphs: learn what the best talent trees are and how to customise them;
• Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities: understand how to play your class in an optimal way;
• Buffs, Debuffs, and Useful Abilities: discover your arsenal of useful abilities;
• Statistics Priority and Reforging: read up on the respective values of your statistics;
• Gems, Enchants, and Professions: choose the best gems, enchantments, and consumables;
• Macros and Addons: benefit from useful macros and addons to step up your game;
• Gearing Up and Best in Slot: find the best gear you can wear.
