Introduction to the Havoc Demon Hunter

Havoc Demon Hunter is predominantly a builder spender style rotation and is largely Global Cooldown locked. The core game style is taking advantage of your Fury pool and reacting to unpredictable gains. This class is probably one of the fastest classes to play so following a guide will ensure you correctly use high burst cooldowns and windows to push yourself even further.

Havoc still likely remains a dominant melee specialisation due to the power of the Chaos Brand debuff, and its versatile damage toolkit in most situations. Alongside this the utility tools such as Darkness and Netherwalk bolster its place in the raid

Below you will find a beginners guide to the Havoc Demon Hunter, you can click on highlighted abilities, for a more in depth description of them.

Rotation of the Havoc Demon Hunter

The basic rotation for the Havoc Demon Hunter is as follows:

• Cast  Metamorphosis if available and not active.

• Use  Immolation Aura.

• Cast  Blade Dance /  Death Sweep.

• Use  Eye Beam.

• Cast  Chaos Strike /  Annihilation.

• Cast  Demon’s Bite to generate Fury.

You can use the recommended Addon ConRo for help with your rotation, it can be found in our Addons Guide here

Cooldowns

• Metamorphosis is a powerful 30-second duration transformation buff on a long cooldown, with a flat 25% increase to Haste allowing for more ability uses while active.

• Using Eye Beam is either cast on cooldown in single-target situations, but only if you can safely channel for the full duration, or at pressure points in a fight where a large stack of enemies will be available for high burst AoE.

Stat Priority

1. Versatility
2. Critical Strike = Haste
3. Agility
4. Mastery

Note here that Mastery is significantly lower than the other options; if it can be avoided, it should be. Some talent builds offer a slightly better performance with it, but it never reaches the level of alternatives.
