Survival Hunter guide
Melee DPS. Forever turns Survival into a viable melee hunter: Savage Strikes and Predator's Edge add melee crit and crit damage, Deflection adds up to 5% parry and Counterattack fires after parries. Strider Kick (a tier 5 talent) and Lacerate add a melee rotation, Aspect of the Beast gives melee attack power, and Expose Prey and Lacerating Strikes turn Mongoose Bite into a regular attack. You still Auto Shot and trap between melee bursts.

What Forever changed
Strider Kick is a tier 5 Survival talent and Lacerate a trainer ability at 30, Counterattack now deals 50% weapon damage, and Aspect of the Beast now adds melee attack power, giving Survival a real melee kit. Expose Prey lets your attacks on a target with Hunter's Mark enable Mongoose Bite, and Lacerating Strikes adds a bleed to it. Every rank has its own value: Savage Strikes gives 2% melee crit per rank, Deflection 1% parry per rank and Lightning Reflexes 3% Agility per rank.
Tips
- A slow two-hander maximises Raptor Strike and Strider Kick damage.
- Deterrence is also an offensive tool: more parries and dodges mean more Counterattack and Mongoose Bite.
- Swap to Aspect of the Hawk and Auto Shot when forced to range.
