WoW Hunter Best Spec TL;DR

# About - Created by [Azortharion-Kazzak](<https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/kazzak/azortharion>), I'm a Hunter Guidewriter on Icy-Veins (and MM on Wowhead) and Content Creator focused on Hunter PvE Minmaxing. I've played Hunter at a Hall of Fame/Rank 1-logging level for over a decade. - Helping people enjoy their Hunters more is my job, made possible by [Patreon](<https://www.patreon.com/azortharion>) and [Twitch](<https://www.twitch.tv/Azortharion>) supporters, who get access to my custom WoW UI, personal Hunter coaching, and access to a growing archive of Hunter Coaching Videos made for higher-tier Patrons. Most people make the same mistakes, so there is a lot to learn by watching me review other people's VoDs/logs. - I am reachable and communicative on my [Discord](<http://discord.gg/Azortharion>). Feel free to ping or DM me there if you have questions, suggestions, etc. # Best Hunter Spec ## Updated April 23rd after Patch 12.0.5 ## Resources - [Overview of Top Hunter Logs on Each Boss](<https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/46?class=Hunter>) - [Lorrgs - see cooldown timings for top logs on every fight, on any spec.](<https://lorrgs.io/>) - [Overall DPS Statistics for the raid. Take with a huge grain of salt.](<https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/statistics/46>) ### Raid 1. Survival best overall. 2. Marksmanship better on: Vanguard, Crown, Belo'ren. 3. Beast Mastery not ideal anywhere but viable on single-target limited bosses like L'ura, Vorasius. ### Mythic+ 1. Survival is king, best combination of ST/AoE/Prio, very tanky, melee kick, 1 min cadence suits every dungeon. 2. Beast Mastery comes after. Much worse ST and Prio than Survival but strong AoE. 30-sec cadence is.. OK. 3. Marksmanship is just bad. ### Overall PvE 1. Survival, since it's best for most raid fights, especially L'ura, and Mythic+. Also great at open world and Delves. 2. Beast Mastery, pretty weak in raid but solid in M+. Great for open world and Delves. 3. Marksmanship, good for some specific raid fights but awful in Mythic+ and struggles with open world.
