Best Gear To Spend Bullions On For Survival Hunter in Season 4
Season 4 offers a way to target specific, powerful items with the new
Antique Bronze Bullion. Here are the best items to spend your Bullionson in Dragonflight Season 4 as a Survival Hunter
Rashon, the Immortal Blaze — Our best weapon.- Elementium Pocket Anvil — Our undisputed BiS Trinket forall scenarios.
- Our next BiS Trinket depends on your preferred content. Cataclysmic Signet Brand for Raiding and Single-Target scenarios,and Ominous Chromatic Essence for Mythic+/AoE scenarios. They are prettysimilar otherwise.
- Seal of Diurna's Chosen — This Ring is not that special,but it is stronger than all other Rings, and very hotly contested. You mightnot want to spend a Bullion on this until you have a socket to put in it.
- Voice of the Silent Star — Around ~0.7% better than all otherCloaks, but it has no Stamina. If you are doing high Mythic+ wheresurvivability is paramount, you may want to skip this item entirely.
- At this point, there are no obvious choices left. Consider a Whispering Incarnate Icon as an occasional Ominous Chromatic Essence. It offers more of a stat than OCE, but itonly offers Crit. If your best Essence stat is currently Crit, then an Icon inits place would be better.

When To Replace Season 3 Tier Set for Survival Hunter
For Raiding/Single-Target scenarios, you can start replacing your old TierSet once you have the 2pc of the new one.
For Mythic+/AoE scenarios, you actually want to keep your old 4PC, asthe Season 4 Tier Set is relatively poor for AoE scenarios. So, do not deleteyour old Tier Set!

Best Gear Upgrades for Survival Hunter
You will be able to upgrade your items via Crests such as
Aspect's Awakened Crest. Once you have upgraded a slot to a certain itemlevel, upgrading other items of that slot to that item level is free.
When you upgrade with Crests, you should think of it as upgrading slots and not items.
Additionally, since Crests are a limited resource, you will want to obtainthe highest item-level possible before upgrading a given slot,as this means you will spend fewer Crests on that slot in total. If you are atall capable of doing a +9 Dungeon, for example, it would be a VERY bad idea toupgrade an item from a +8 Dungeon.
Below is the slot priority you should upgrade your items in.
- Weapons
- Trinkets
- Helm/Chest/Legs
- Shoulders/Gloves/Belt/Boots
- Rings and Necks
- Cloaks and Bracers
Note that exceptions are possible, such as special items that have more iLvlscaling than their slot would imply. Think of things like Voice of the Silent Star and Seal of Diurna's Chosen.

"Simming" Yourself as a Survival Hunter
Throughout this page, we will regularly refer to the importance of simmingyourself on Raidbots, as it is an indispensable aspect of optimizing your character.
While we do offer generic sim charts for Trinkets, this should not be areplacement for simming yourself, at least not if you want to minmax sub-1%!
If you are new to simming and Raidbots, check out our detailed guide below.
Simming Yourself — A Guide to Raidbots

Season 4 Tier Set for Survival Hunter
The Tier Set is comprised of 5 items, all carrying the Blazing Dreamstalker's moniker.Unique DPS bonuses are unlocked when wearing 2, and 4 pieces from the set:
- 2 pieces: Survival Hunter 2pc increases Mongoose Bite/ Raptor Strike/ Carve/ Butcherydamage increased by 18%.
- 4 pieces: Survival Hunter 4pc causes Mongoose Bite/ Raptor Strike/ Carve/ Butcheryto have a 20% chance to make your next Mongoose Bite/ Raptor Strike/ Carve/ Butchery cost 10 less Focus anddeal 50% increased damage.
The Tier Set Bonus is absolutely mandatory for competitive play, and youshould prioritize obtaining it. You can use theRevival Catalyst to convert regular items (from Mythic+, forexample) into Tier Items.
You only need 4 pieces out of 5 to get both set bonuses. We recommend youget all items except for the Helm, due to its high Mastery. Check out the BiS List for more information.

Best Crafted Items for Raiding for Survival Hunter
This section focuses on Crafting for Raiding. We focus mostly on single-target for these, which is why we choosesingle-target procs like 
Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch over Stat Procs like Elemental Lariat.In Raids, Adaptive Dracothyst Armguards proc far more often than they do in Mythic+.
- Your first 2 Crafts should be getting your Embellishments sorted. The bestEmbellishments for Raiding has a few considerations; Acidic Hailstone Treads with Toxified Armor Patch (on a Belt, probably) is, strictlyspeaking, a bit ahead of other options, but comes with a 20% permanent slow,which I do not recommend. For a non-slow option, I instead recommend the Adaptive Dracothyst Armguards and Elemental Lariat. The Lariat will not be optimal until you are fullysocketed, however. Until that point comes, you may prefer a Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch crafted on a Belt or some Boots for puresingle-target, while I would still keep the Lariat without full sockets for AoEscenarios.
- Once your Embellishments are sorted, you should chase raw Item Level on thebiggest-budget items. What follows is a generic ranking of the highest-valueitems, to increase your Item Level with.
- Signet of Titanic Insight/ Ring-Bound Hourglass. Note that theHourglass cannot take Embellishments. You will eventually replace these Rings,but they are great in the short-term for their free socket.
- From this point, I strongly recommend you sim yourself to work out future crafts.
9.
Best Crafted Items for Mythic+ for Survival Hunter
This section focuses on Crafting for Mythic+. Stat Procs like Elemental Lariathave much higher value than single-target procs like Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch in AoEsituations, and effects like Adaptive Dracothyst Armguards proc far less often in Mythic+ compared to Raiding.
- Your first 2 Crafts should be getting your Embellishments sorted. The bestEmbellishments for Mythic is more straightforward; I recommend the Adaptive Dracothyst Armguards and Elemental Lariat.
- Once your Embellishments are sorted, you should chase raw Item Level on thebiggest-budget items. What follows is a generic ranking of the highest-valueitems, to increase your Item Level with.
- Signet of Titanic Insight/ Ring-Bound Hourglass. Note that theHourglass cannot take Embellishments. You will eventually replace these Rings,but they are great in the short-term for their free socket.
- From this point, I strongly recommend you sim yourself to work out future crafts.

Trinkets for Survival Hunter in Season 4
There are a number of strong options available for Survival Hunter in Season 4coming from a variety of different sources. Some relevant ones to look for inorderof strength are:
| Trinket | Note |
|---|---|
| Elementium Pocket Anvil | The strongest single-target Trinket in the game for us, bar none. |
| Cataclysmic Signet Brand | An immensely powerful damage-dealing Trinket. Deals some damage to you as well, but is so strong that you will likely use it anyway.It also loses some value in stop-start situations like Mythic+, and we replace it for such situations. |
| Ominous Chromatic Essence | Alternative to the Signet Brand for AoE and Mythic+ scenarios. |
| Globe of Jagged Ice | Decent for most scenarios — Not fantastic by any means, but it is one of our best Mythic+-sourced Trinkets. |
| Bottle of Spiraling Winds | Like the Globe, this is just a decent Mythic+-sourced Trinket. |
