Xumio’s 3.1 Ulduar Survival Hunter Guide – Itemization and Glyphs and Tools

Itemization Glyphs

Glyphs

  1. Explosive Shot – Increases crit rating on Explosive Shot by 4%.
  2. Kill Shot – Reduces the cooldown on Kill Shot by 6 sec. Valuable on longer fights where you spend more time at sub20% health.
  3. One of either of the following glyphs.
  • Steady Shot is better on short fights, while steady shot has been nerfed, it will still be ~20% of your damage with this glyph on.
  • Serpent Sting on longer fights but overall the difference is small and you should really make the decision based on how often you like refreshing Serpent Sting.  The less time you spend refreshing this, the more you’re dpsing.
