Client data and build assumptions
Client-table preview: positions, rank caps and spell IDs are checked against build 1.60.1.69913. These readable tables may retain legacy layout. Five points per tier, full-rank prerequisites and the 11-point Level 20 budget are planning assumptions, not proof of final live Beta rules. Missing rank text stays unknown.

Defensive positioning and control
- Deflection begins the route. Entrapment and Savage Strikes complete the next tier, then Deterrence provides the endpoint for a defensive comparison.
- Record whether the route changes the outcome after an enemy reaches you.
Derived planning assumption. Talent positions and ranks remain client data; this allocation is editorial only.

Why these Survival talents
Deflection begins the route. Entrapment and Savage Strikes complete the next tier, then Deterrence provides the endpoint for a defensive comparison.
Defensive points may contribute little when the pet holds every target at a safe distance. Match the test to the route.
Exact point order
Deflection 5 → Entrapment 3 → Savage Strikes 2 → Deterrence 1

How to evaluate this route
Record whether the route changes the outcome after an enemy reaches you.
Use this allocation to test difficult close-range situations rather than assuming it shares Beast Mastery priorities. Compare escape and recovery as well as damage.
