Survival Hunter DPS Sanctum of Domination Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.5
On this page, you will find tips, tricks, and strategies tailored to your Survival Hunter for each boss of the following raid: Sanctum of Domination. All our content is updated for World of Warcraft — Dragonflight 10.2.5.
Introduction
On this page, you will find Survival Hunter specific information to deal with each boss in the Sanctum of Domination raid.
This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Survival Hunter and what you can do to deal with each fight as best as possible.
Unless otherwise noted, we recommend the Dreamweaver Soulbind.
During the Dragonflight Pre-Patch, Castle Nathria, Sanctum of Domination, and Sepulcher of the First Ones will be simultaneously featured as Fated Raids. During this time encounters within each specific raid will include an additional mechanic and items will drop at increased item levels. If you would like to learn more general information about the Fated Raids system as a whole, please see our overview below. Otherwise, continue to use this page for specialization-specific tips.

The Eye of the Jailer
We advise you to use the following Legendary against The Eye of the Jailer: Latent Poison Injectors.
You can Harpoon to the boss when you are taking the chain to dodge his laser in mid-air to quickly return to melee range.
Using Feign Death after the Dragging Chains have been applied to you and you are being dragged will instantly break the Chain.

The Nine
We advise you to use the following Legendary against The Nine: Wildfire Cluster.
Talent Changes
Swap to the 2-target focused build below.
Feign Death can be used to completely negate Arthura's Crushing Gaze, preventing the raid from having to soak it. Simply use it once you notice the mechanic is on you, and stay Feigned until it disappears.
For more information, please refer to our The Nine guide.
Remnant of Ner'zhul
We advise you to use the following Legendary against Remnant of Ner'zhul: Latent Poison Injectors.
- You can Aspect of the Turtle to negate the knockback if required. You can also use Harpoon or Disengage as a more stylish option.

Painsmith Raznal
