Hi Gromstas,

If you switch your Survival build to this, http://www.wowhead.com/?talent…..edAhsd:NfA, you should see a noticeable increase in DPS. If you don't have problems with mana, then you might consider dropping Hunting Party and putting those points into Improved Stings.

You have 2 wasted talent points right now. 2/2 in GftT is overkill, as is 3/3 in Expose Weakness. You'll get the same benefit from 1/2 and 2/3 respectively. Next, drop the 1 point in IHM and borrow 1 point from Hunting Party.

Those 4 points will be used to get you Noxious Stings. This will provide you with a straight up 3% damage increase while your sting is active on the target. This translates into a few hundred DPS.

Get rid of Glyph of Steady Shot and throw in Glyph of Serpent Sting. As I said, if you seldom have issues with mana, or typically run with another SV Hunter w/ Hunting Party, you could pull those 2 points and put them into Improved Stings. Coupled w/ your 2 pc T8 bonus, this should enable you to squeeze out a little more DPS as well.

For your MM build, I'd try this: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent…..Aox00b:bfi.

You're over hit cap, so the 2 points you have in Focused Aim are a waste. I recommend taking those 2 points, along with the 2 in IHM and putting them in GftT and Wild Quiver – 1/2 and 3/3 respectively. Dump Efficiency and put 3 points into Improved Steady Shot. This will not only increase your DPS, but also help with mana efficiency. Next, take the 2 leftover points from Efficiency and the one in Rapid Recup and put them in Improved Barrage.

However, if mana is a problem, then the only change I'd make to my recommended build would be to keep 1/3 in Improved Barrage and put 2/2 in rapid Recup.

Your glyphs in this spec should be Hawk, Serpent and Steady Shot.

Only other thing I'd suggest is to gem for agility over ap. Agility is always going to be better unless you're Beast Mastery.

Another thing you may not realize, is that both of your equipped trinkets share the same internal cooldown. That trinket from Brewfest is basically Mirror of Truth with a different name. You'd be better off getting Incisor Fragment, Meteorite Whetstone or any other blue out of your bank if you still have them. You're only gaining the additional passive crit bonus by equipping both of them.

Hope some of this helps. <img decoding="async" class="wp-smiley" src="/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="icon_smile” />

Nice gear btw!
