Survival Hunter

The priority

1. Kill Command — with no tip of the spear
2. Boomstick — when it is ready
3. Wildfire Bomb — at 2 charges
4. Kill Command — before takedown, below 2 tip stacks
5. Takedown — with tip of the spear
6. Raptor Strike — as your focus spender
7. Kill Command — when a charge is available
8. Wildfire Bomb — when a charge is available

Common mistakes

• Pressing Raptor Strike with no Tip of the Spear while Kill Command is ready.
• Letting Wildfire Bomb cap at 2 charges.
• Using Takedown with no Tip of the Spear stacks.

What’s simplified

• Each turn is one decision (about one global cooldown). Cooldowns and buff durations are converted to turns, so timing is approximate.
• Priority order follows SimulationCraft’s default priority list for this build, simplified to the abilities modeled here. Costs, cooldowns and effects come from Blizzard’s spell data. Rule wording is our own.
• Cooldowns are approximations of their talented values: Kill Command 3 turns with 2 charges, Wildfire Bomb 9 turns with 2 charges, Takedown 20 turns, Boomstick 30 turns.
• Tip of the Spear: Kill Command adds a stack (up to 3), and Raptor Strike, Wildfire Bomb, Boomstick and Takedown each spend one.
• Raptor Swipe is a 50% chance from Kill Command and turns the next Raptor Strike into a cleaving swipe.
• Focus caps at 125 and regenerates 8 per turn. Moonlight Chakram, Sentinel’s Mark and Shrapnel Bomb are not modeled.
