Our focus with this guide will be to simplify the playstyle as much as possible, while avoiding cutting corners that result in significant damage-per-second loss. This attack interacts with several other attacks and abilities, leading to the dreaded playstyle complexity. The Survival Hunter specialisation is now centered around the Mongoose Bite skill, an attack with 3 charges and a 12-second cooldown. Never fear though - this Survival Hunter guide will put you on the right track. While it is an excellent damage-dealing specialisation, its complexity has often led to players to underperform somewhat, granting the spec an undeservedly bad reputation. Being the target of the most drastic class overhaul this tiume around, Survival Hunters are now a very differet proposition from that of past expansions, having transitioned from a purely ranged role to melee-only.
