Survival Hunter WeakAuras Guide — The War Within (11.0.5)
On this page, we go over the recomended WeakAuras that can help you play your Survival Hunter to its full potential. Updated for World of Warcraft — The War Within (11.0.5).
Best WeakAuras for Survival Hunter
On this page, we will list some useful WeakAuras for Survival Hunters as well as some that are recommended for DPS players in general.
If you are unfamiliar with WeakAuras, it is an extremely powerful and popular AddOn that lets you make customized displays for everything in the game. This includes buffs, debuffs, cooldowns, Focus, other resources, and almost everything else you can imagine.
To import a WeakAura, follow one of our links to the Wago.io website. Once you arrive, you can click the "Copy WeakAura Import String" button.
With it saved to your clipboard, log into the game and type the /wa command into the chat box. Go to "Import" and press Ctrl+V to paste in the key you have copied. Import the group and you are finished!
Using WeakAuras and knowing a little about how it works is almost mandatory for any serious raider.
Best Hunter WeakAuras
All-In-One Hunter Pack
Luxthos' Hunter Pack is a straightforward WeakAura package that contains pretty much everything you need to play your Hunter optimally. If you do not have a dedicated UI set up for your Hunter, this is a great place to start.
Hunter's Mark Helper WeakAura
Zingus' Hunter's Mark Helper will mark the best target to use Hunter's Mark on, mostly designed for Mythic+.
Feign Death Helper WeakAura
Causese's 'Targeted by Damage Spells' WeakAura will alert you when you are targeted by a damaging spell, which can likely be Feign Death'd to cancel the cast. Essential for high Mythic+.
Hunter Pet Management WeakAura
Enkaf's 'Hunter Pet Group' WeakAura contains a variety of useful alerts to help you manage your pet, such as reminders for when it is not attacking, or when it is taunting in scenarios where you do not want it to — as well as when it is dead, not summoned, low HP, or playing dead.
Smart Misdirection WeakAura
Zac's 'Smart Misdirect' WeakAura and its associated macro (see its instructions on Wago) will automatically use Misdirection on the tank, and if there is no tank, your pet instead.
Recommended WeakAura Collections for Survival Hunters
