Introduction

Below, you can find class and spec-specific advice for every fight in Liberation of Undermine. If you are looking for a general overview of the Raid that is not spec-specific, check out our dedicated Liberation of Undermine Boss guides.

On this page, you will find tips and tricks specifically tailored toward Survival Hunters and its toolkit based on the recommended talent build. It does not include general tips for mechanics, which are included in the full raid guide instead, whereas this page assumes that you are already familiar with most of the major mechanics of each encounter.

All recommendations are progression-based tips and will not necessarily be the best for an overall DPS ranking.

General Offensive Cooldown Usage

Survival Hunter has a few cooldowns to think about using optimally on the fights in Liberation of Undermine:

  • Coordinated Assault Icon Coordinated Assault — Our main, 2-minute cooldown, though it will sometimes have a 45-60s cooldown instead, depending on talent choices.
  • Spearhead Icon Spearhead — Our powerful, 1-minute burst cooldown. Used mainly for single-target.
  • Fury of the Eagle Icon Fury of the Eagle — Our occasionally used AoE 45-second cooldown.

In addition to the general rotation, you want to keep in mind that your goal is to use your cooldowns as often as possible during an encounter. With that in mind, your secondary goal is to use them at the correct time.

I highly suggest using some Addon or WeakAura to track the estimated time to die of your target/boss target. Method Raid Tools has this as an option if you are already using this addon. By tracking time to die, if you know that you can only fit one more cycle of your cooldowns in before the boss dies, you can choose to hold these cooldowns to better line up with Bloodlust Icon Bloodlust, your Potion, or even your other cooldowns, trying to look for opportunities to stack all of them.

2.23.

General Defensive Cooldown Usage

Survival Hunter has several defensive spells that you should plan to use and rotate throughout mechanics. You should opt to use the smaller cooldown spells often as needed with incoming mechanics and save bigger cooldowns like Aspect of the Turtle Icon Aspect of the Turtle for large incoming damage.

  • Exhilaration Icon Exhilaration
  • Survival of the Fittest Icon Survival of the Fittest
  • Fortitude of the Bear Icon Fortitude of the Bear with a Tenacity Pet summoned.
