Survival ExplainedSingle-Target RotationAoE Rotation

• Maximizing Focus generated by casting Kill Command on cooldown, without ever letting it Focus cap you.
• Maximizing Focus spent on Mongoose Bite by never Focus capping. Ideally packing as much Focus as possible inside of Mongoose Fury windows.
• Maximizing the benefit of our Wildfire Bomb and its special effects offered by Wildfire Infusion.
• Playing around our Hunter Survival 10.2 Class Set 2pc by packing damage after our Fury of the Eagle.

• All the same goals as the single-target Rotation.
• Maximizing our Wildfire Bomb charge generation and reducingwasteage with Butchery and Fury of the Eagle and Ruthless Marauder.
