Pack Leader Survival Hunter ReviewPack Leaders are Hunters that use the instincts, knowledge, and respect they've gained over the years as they formed a deep bond and trust with the animals they adventure with. They bring a new style of ferocity and coordination to their combat, teaching their pet to strike their prey with simultaneous attacks.and coordinated attacks with their bonded beastNoteTheme and IdentityGameplayУкус мангустаКоманда "Взять!"УкусЦапнутьХлопокImmediate Concerns

Compared to Beast Mastery, Survival uses Команда "Взять!" far less and even our pet uses less Basic Attacks than our friends in BM, and thus will get presumably less frequent benefits of Pack Leader that hinges around these. We hope that this will be separately tuned similar to the differences in Destruction and Demonology's Soul Shard economy as mentioned in Diabolist Hero Tree discussion. We are hoping that the spec is not balanced around BM's quantity of Basic Attacks and is instead tuned separately for BM and Survival.

Related to the above point, the lower quantity of our pet's Basic Attack, the duration of might end up being a small worry as the 15% critical strike damage buff could outweigh normal gameplay considerations and incentive manual pet control to optimize the buff's duration.

Assuming there are no changes to Согласованная атака moving forward, this Hero talent tree might end up feeling very awkward. As discussed here, there are a few existing problems with this cooldown that needs to be addressed moving forward to make it feel more appealing to use and make builds around. (TL;DR CD requires a 3 part macro to use optimally, certain empowerments are weaker than others, bomb empowerment is bugged)

Обходной удар seems to be taking a huge backseat here. As was the problem in Dragonflight, Обходной удар did not benefit from any talents that synergize with Команда "Взять!", despite Обходной удар more or less being a stronger Команда "Взять!" with a longer cooldown. As Pack Leader almost entirely revolves around Команда "Взять!", it will be very hard to find the time to use this.

As mentioned just above, really needs to be a free Basic Attack or Survival simply won't be able to afford the fun parts of the tree. We do assume it will be free, but you can never be too careful with clarity!

Команда "Взять!" plays a very different role for us versus Beast Mastery's Kill Command—for us it is a generator rather than a spender. Now, we have not yet had any chance to playtest any of these talents, but it seems as though Команда "Взять!" will reset quite a lot more than normal, especially during Согласованная атака where the + is the most frequent. The primary issue here is that we already hit a near 0-downtime-rotation, even without talenting into things like Могучая концентрация and Альфа-хищник, so more opportunities to hit our generator (our weakest ability) as opposed to BM resetting their strongest spender is quite a stark difference, and isn't necessarily ideal. This could result in an overabundance of Focus faster than we can spend it, which doesn't really feel fun for anyone. There's not a real easy solution yet, so we're excited to play test and see how it feels in practice!
