Question for those survival prime guilds out there. What skills have you chosen as your top 4 survivals that you are able to keep going and not slow down your circling process?

For one of my survival prime characters, I had chosen Stealth and Evasion along with Outdoorsmanship and Perception (with skinning 5th) and I have found that I am not able to hunt the creatures I need to keep stealth and evasion going and it really is impacting my circling speed.

My options appear to just wait and work combats (tertiary) or to consider a change up in my primary survivals to keep the circling going. My concern with waiting for combats to catch up as I believe this will be an issue forever if I don't make a change.

Interested in any feedback.

Thanks!

Survival prime with tertiary 'combats' (assuming weapons/armor) is a necromancer, right? On my necromancer my top four survivals are Evasion > Skinning > Hiding > Perception. I'm able to keep TM close enough to keep moving up hunting grounds when survival needs it. I just accept that my weapon ranks are for fun/tdps and don't worry about them lagging behind.

Thanks for the replies all. I had not considered Thievery so I will check that out some and I do think letting Skinning get up there will help a lot as well along with First Aid.

I may be very close to them taking over and resolving the issues.

Perc, Skin, BS, Stealth, Evasion.

Skinning kind of crept up on it's own once I got serious about training it. Arrange all is the only way to go. Everything is fairly close aside from perc... But that's the crazy nature of HUNT for you, and how easily it "works as intended".

You hear the distant echo of a savage Horde snarling in barbaric disapproval of your deeds.

>HUNT teaches perception well past caps, hundreds of ranks near the top of the food chain. It should be in the top 4 for any survival prime.

Can confirm, perception is about ~250 ranks past my combats and still able to move it when hunting.

If you're talking about a Necromancer, remember that you can train FA at level with Rituals. Accordingly, my top 5 survivals are Stealth, Evasion, Skinning, Perception and First Aid. I absolutely loathe Athletics and Outdoors :\

Thanks again all!

This was for a necromancer and I believe the issue I was running into was kill speed was not very high, so rituals/skinning was not training as fast as Stealth/Evasion which ended up capping on the mobs I was hunting.

A lot of this is also tied to being very low circle (20s), so the exp range on mobs is very unfriendly.

Thanks again for all the feedback, it really helps.

athletics and evasion are right behind stealth.
