If the numbers work out, I plan on Survival being my Hunter’s primary spec in Battle. So what is the new Survival Hunter like, and is it a fun class to play? My own Hunter has been Beast Mastery for most of Legion, but I’ve been interested in the Survival changes since I first saw them on alpha, and I’ve been playing Survival on both alpha and beta. Though the spec hasn’t gotten the same sort of extensive rework it did in Legion, it’s seen some significant changes. But Survival Hunters are one of the big exceptions to this.
If you like the playstyle of the Legion iteration of your class, you’ll probably like the Battle rendition. For many classes and specializations, the Battle for Azeroth version plays similarly to the current Legion version, minus the Artifact traits, tier sets, and Legendaries.
