Survival Hunter PvE best in slot, Pre-raid (Heroic item levels) (without crafted gear)

Survival is a damage specialisation of the Hunter, which wears mail and builds on Agility. Each slot below holds the best items for it (heroic dungeons, crafting, vendor and reputation rewards, quests), ranked by the weights in the method note at the foot of the page: Agility; then Hit and Expertise (equal); then Crit; then Haste; then Mastery.

Not reviewed yet: ordered by stat weights only. Nobody has looked at this list against the game or a second guide, so it is a starting point and may put an item first that you would not. The reviewed specialisations are marked reviewed above.

Ranked by stat weights, not simulated: the order is a weighted sum of an item's stats. An item name opens its page on this site, or a page off this site in a new tab for an item this site has no page for. Report a mistake

How this list is made

  • Ranked by stat weights, not simulated. An item's score is the sum of its stat amounts times the weight below, and a list is that score, best first. The guides it was read from agree on the core order.
    • Agility 100
    • Hit 88
    • Expertise 88
    • Critical Strike 76
    • Haste 64
    • Mastery 52
  • Where the weights came from. The order follows Icy Veins and Warcraft Tavern. Warcraft Tavern: stat priority and reforging page of the specialisation, read 2026-10-12. Icy Veins: PvE stat priority page of the specialisation (known only through search summaries: the site refused direct reads), read 2026-10-12.
  • Not scored: caps (shown, not enforced); reforging; gems and socket bonuses; enchants; procs, set-bonus value and weapon speed. Trinkets: item level, then weighted sum: the effect of a trinket is not evaluated.
  • Not recorded, so not on this page: drop chances; vendors and prices; which content was live and when; trinket, weapon enchant and meta gem effects; reforging and item upgrade steps; Death Knight rune enchants. A source is a kind of place and never a chance.
  • Stats are ratings from the items alone. Percentages need the character's level and talents, so none are shown.
