Survival Hunter

Survival changes

• 
  NewLacerating Strikes

  31-point talent. Mongoose Bite applies a bleed.

• 
  NewExpose Prey

  Activates Mongoose Bite against marked targets — no longer dependent on being dodged.

• 
  NewStrider Kick

  21-point talent granting 30% movement speed.

• 
  NewPredator’s Edge

  More melee critical damage and off-hand damage.

• 
  ChangedEntrapment

  Always triggers from a trap; points extend the duration rather than adding a chance.

• 
  RemovedWyvern Sting, Killer Instinct

  Both gone; Improved Feign Death folded into Resourcefulness.

Baseline changes — every Hunter

These apply to Survival too, regardless of where talent points go.

• 
  NewFoxes

  A new pet family with Trickster’s Dance. Every family can now learn Bite or Claw and Dive or Dash, plus one ability unique to the family.

• 
  ChangedTraps

  Usable in combat, with the cooldown raised to 30 seconds. Frost and Fire traps no longer share a cooldown — the single biggest quality-of-life change the class has ever had.

• 
  ChangedAimed Shot

  Baseline at level 20 rather than a talent.

• 
  ChangedArcane Shot

  No longer shares a cooldown with Aimed Shot. Multi-Shot now does instead.

• 
  ChangedAspect of the Beast

  Grants melee Attack Power, giving Survival a reason to use it.

• 
  ChangedPet stats

  Pets scale from your gear, but no longer receive player buffs that raise their stats.

• 
  ChangedDisengage

  Threat reduction doubled.
