Havoc Demon Hunter 7.3

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm new to this forum and hopefully don't repeat a question already asked.

Actually I have 2 questions. First is concerning stat weights with regards to buff food.

when calculating the comparrison numbers I end up with crit buff always providing the larger benefit.

375*1.37 vs 500*1

513.75 vs 500

or is this more depending on stat balancing?

2nd question is about Demonic build for single targets in Raids.

would the haste you gain through the higger uptime of meta (and thus more blade dances) compensate for lacking chaos blades?

even more with leg. cloak this might mean more procs. What do you think?

Curious to hear your opinions.

Not sure if this has been addressed, but what is the respective DPS gain for 2pc and 4pc t20?

Depends on the character and fight. If you're wondering if it's better than what you have currently, you can use SimC to check it accurately.

Hi, i like the guide. Im finding my dps a bit too low on bosses when using your mythic plus build, any tips?(using raddons eye and anger[970 both])

Also, can you pls list a % wise stat list for single target bosses, i know you always want crit about 40% atleast (closer to 50% if u can), but haste is something im not sure where to keep around, more than 10% i assume.

-Thanks!

I can't really help with the DPS issue, since I have no idea what you are doing during the fights. Logs are your best bet with this. As for the %-stat list, it depends. Stats are fluid in Legion, meaning they will change depending on what you have in other stats. You are going to have far more luck trying to sim your character on a fight similar to what you are trying to complete.

So with our new buff to demons bite, has there been any testing to see if it's viable?

Demon's Blade is still your go-to, especially with how good AotHG is.

I am now really curious to see if our stats will shift again. also wonder if blades will finally be dethroned. Personally I like demonic appetite more, but id rather have that AND blades.

Blades is still ahead, unfortunately :(

If they nerf AotHG to be worse with Blades, but better with Bite, you might see Bite played more.

Wordup is using example weights in the calculation, rather than listing ones that are usable by anyone. They are essentially created by simming a single character at 915 item level with the Tier 20 4-piece. For that person, the Crit food would be worth more for the next increase in the stat. The issue is, stat weights are how much DPS is added for every point of that stat. As soon as you add a stat point, you will see the weights change and recalculate. By the time you add the Crit food,  it will have devalued enough that, by the time you have added (for example) 200, it might already be low enough that Agility food is now better.

Hope I'm kinda making sense!

Can't edit for some reason, but:

For your second question, the build just isn't worth it on ST. You are changing your playstyle to fit around trying to make an AoE talent work, but the loss you will see won't be compensated enough to make it viable compared to current ST builds.

Thank you for your feedback Blainie.

I pretty much felt the comparrison yesterday.

Been using demonic build on Add heavy Boss encounters last ID and used single target std. build yesterday.

Even on encounters like the snake lady or desolate host i was running roughly 250k more dps.

There isn't a specific number. Havoc is crazy fluid with stats and, honestly, simming is the only way to check it. It will change entirely depending on where your other stats are right now.

Unfortunately I find the new leggo cloak to be absolute shit.. Belt is still better + The ring. I am sure there is a lot who agree? Considering I see top havoc DHs using either belt with ring or shoulders with ring.. None of them with the shit cloak, personally I was excited for the cloak but when I got 2 and 4 set bonus from ToS and equipped the cloak and tried some bosses. I was rather disappointed with how it performs compared to the belt -.- I was hoping to finally replace leggo belt, but nope! It's still the best.. I have mixed feelings about the belt because it's only above 90% boss HP the extra dmg is benefited from it, rest of the fight it's useless.. But even still with starting a boss fight jumping in with meta and burst CDs we greatly make good use of that 10% burn to get boss to 80% and when the boss fight is done dps Meyer shows its dmg in the range of 3-4% which is good, if not higher.

I saw that in 7.3 with the Argus raid coming out, the set bonuses revolve around Eye Meme, so maybe perhaps the leggo helm will rid of the leggo belt.. To utilize the effectiveness out of Eye Meme; Leggo helm + AotHG, but it's still too early to say.. But with my theory crafting for talent wise pretty well keep everything, but change about 3 talents to make the best use of Eye Meme dmg from the set bonuses; Blind Fury, Demonic Appetite and Demon Reborn, whilst keeping all the other talents that are currently best for ST and add in Eye Meme when CB is up to really nuke shit.

@Blainie any news on the lego standings? I too am curious of the cloak is any good, after using it I find it really just does not proc that often to make a difference for shorter fights.

I haven't seen anyone mention that the new Fel Barrage allows you to do almost anything else while still channeling. The only exception seems to be Eye Beam, but you can do anything else and it won't break the cast.

According to information, havoc demon hunter has no cap. Crit above all secondary stats, and then haste, versatillity, agility, and mastery. Haste is used for mostly fury generation. Given that you have Anger of the Half-Giant, what is a nice haste level for nice flow fury? Is that flow of fury secondary to stacking crit to insane levels? At the moment, my crit is 52% and 11% haste, and lower my crit level for haste is a dps loss. At the same time, there is periods of fury starvation which might be consider dps loss. Any ideals?

Super late on this, my apologies. Wordup did end up adding a note to the guide about Delusions and how extremely powerful it is in ToS specifically, rather than in a general scenario. I'll copy it below, just in case you didn't catch the update:

Quote

As mentioned above, Delusions of Grandeur Icon Delusions of Grandeur relies on it generating an extra use of Metamorphosis Icon Metamorphosis. In Tomb of Sargeras, this is particularly potent due to it lining up better with high damage periods, and having it reduced down to a 2-minute cooldown is realistic on most encounters due to the Tier 20 bonuses; this will usually be the best pick when combined with Anger of the Half-Giants Icon Anger of the Half-Giants. When extra uses are not generated reliably, however, this still requires forethought as to whether it is worth equipping.

Sorry, once again!

Unfortunately, given how awful the talent is in ToS, it's probably why it wasn't mentioned as any sort of big update. I can ask for a note to be added.

This is a hugely personal thing - it's what you want, essentially. If you want the "mathematically correct" (take with a grain of salt) level of Haste, use Raidbots. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot

No biggy, was there any mention if the cloak is on the low side? I dont see many people using it at all and i was super excited to get it but it feels to be underperforming

The cloak is, in theory, very good still. It's just very fight dependent as far as I am aware. For example, the #6 on Harjatan used the cloak, or the #1 on Kil'Jaeden. I think it's an incredibly specific legendary to actually be able to outperform the others, just because of how strong Delusions + Anger is.

Hey Blainie (or anyone who want to look at), I hope you could see this log here in Goroth fight. I'm doing the rotation rigth? There's something I could change?

You seem to waste Fury each fight, normally between 100-250, I assume by capping out. You also are generally missing out on 1 possible FotI cast each fight, as well as a few Blade Dance casts.

      Next, we're looking at the Priest changes that went live in the second Alpha build. We've got some updates to Discipline's Atonement, and some tweaks to Shadow Priest's Collapsing Void.
      Priest

Your spell damage heals all targets affected by Atonement for 40% 35% of the damage done. Healing increased by 50% 70% when not in a raid. Collapsing Void - Each time Penance damages or heals, Entropic Rift is expanded by 1 yd. After Entropic Rift ends, it collapses, rapidly dealing [ 120% of Spell Power ] Shadow damage up to 8 times to a random enemy, based on how many times it expanded. Each time Penance damages or heals, Entropic Rift is empowered, increasing its damage and size by 20%. After Entropic Rift ends, it collapses, dealing [ 500% of Spell Power ] Shadow damage split between all nearby enemies.

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons. Here's Quazii Plater!
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.

      While the big War Within pre-patch news is certainly Dynamic Flight being added to old mounts, the system is also adding a new option for Dracthyr! 
      Since players will be able to switch between Dynamic Flight and regular "static" flying, Dracthyr will gain the ability to fly like a regular old flying mount, including properly just hovering mid-air and looking cool. Here's MrGM's short video of the feature, where we can see that the race still retains the Soar liftoff animation, even with static flying:
