Our raid has decided we want a Survival specialized Hunter. Currently the best DPS spec for raiding is generally accepted to be BM. I'd like to restart this thread and ask a couple of questions that don't seem to have been answered yet.

Where is the point, I guess in terms of Agi for EW buff, that Surv spec becomes a better DPS spec than BM for that Hunter? That is, naturally the Surv Hunter will have lower DPS than the BM one, but there should be a cutoff point where the EW buff provided gives the Surv Hunter better total DPS contributions. Also, is my assumption even correct: that Surv with raid buff counted a better DPS spec than BM? Remembering that BM is high DPS and gives a 3% total/all type party damage buff.

Also, what kind of ranged weapon would be good to use? If I was to be that Hunter, could I effectively use the season two arena crossbow? I play at distance from servers such that I have an average constant latency of 400-500ms.

Another question is, while the Surv Hunter should be getting as many Agi gems as possible, what metagem would be best? I'm thinking either the Haste one or the Agi/crit dmg bonus.

Lastly, how good are hastes for this spec? Currently hastes do more bad than good for the most part due to our broken mechanics. But I wonder if perhaps some haste, for example IAotH, might be useful for such a Surv Hunter.

Hope to read some good replies
