Tier Sets
In Dragonflight Season 3 we also have access to a new tier set.
The Survival Hunter Tier Set has the following effect:
- (2) Set Bonus: Fury of the Eagle increases you and your pet’s critical strike chance by 15% and critical damage dealt by 15% for 12 seconds.
- (4) Set Bonus: Fury of the Eagle throws a free Wildfire Bomb at your current target at 100% effectiveness, generates 1 charge of Wildfire Bomb, and increases the damage Wildfire Bomb deals to your primary target by 40% for 12 seconds.
Survivals 10.2 Tier set is extremely strong and will provide survival with much needed burst. Fury of the eagle will now be a mandatory pick in all content. To optimally make use of it you will now want to get as much damage out after your fury of the eagle cast to make use of the additional 15% crit and Crit damage.

Crafted Gear
Survival Hunter has a couple of viable options for crafted gear.
Acidic Hailstone Treads are generally your highest DPS embellishment. You can even double down on it by combining it with Toxified Armor Patch, which in return will be your highest overall combination of embellishments by about 1%. But they come with the huge downside of decreasing your basic movement speed by 20%. I generally do not recommend this combination.
Adaptive Dracothyst Armguards is a good embellishment with no downsides besides being a little bit reliant on the taking damage proc to maximize its potential.
Elemental Lariat is a generally a strong option. Its main downside is having to be fully socketed to maximize its potential. I would only recommend it once you can ensure you have a fully socketed gear.
Trinkets
Cataclysmic Signet Brand is your strongest single target option. Although it deals some damage to yourself, it is generally worth picking this trinket in any raid encounter. Unfortunately, the stacks fall off very fast while you are out of combat, which makes this trinket suboptimal in Mythic+.
Bandolier of Twisted Blades is a very strong single target trinket which also scales well into AOE situations, making it a good trinket in every situation.
Mydas Talisman is your second strongest single target option. Unfortunately, it does not scale into AOE situations like other trinkets, so it is only recommended for strictly single target boss fights.
Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows is your strongest AOE option; its 3 minute cooldown lets you set up huge burst windows, making this trinket extremely good in add fights and Mythic+ situations.
Accelerating Sandglass is a strong AOE option. However, its single target is generally subpar, making it mainly an option for Mythic+.
