Beast Mastery Hunter Best Legendaries in Shadowlands — Dragonflight 10.2.5

Legendary Powers are special effects affixed to items in the Shadowlands (through Runecarving). Most of these effects have benefits that are specific to your spec, and others work for all Hunter specs. On this page, we will go through the best ones for all types of content. Please refer to our Hunter Legendary Powers page and our Runecarving page for more information about these powers.

Patch 9.2 introduces the Unity, which allows you to attach your Covenant-specific Legendary Power to any slot. This "Unity"-legendary automatically changes its power with your Covenant, and most importantly, it allows you to use a second Legendary Power of your choice, in their usual slots.

You should generally use Missive of Mastery/ Missive of Critical Strike for your Legendary crafts. It is best to simulate your options on Raidbots as the choice will vary between characters.

• Unity - Replace whatever your lowest iLvl is with Unity. Prefer socket slots like Neck, Wrists, and Belt where possible.
• Rylakstalker's Piercing Fangs should be crafted on Boots.
• Dire Command should be crafted on Chest.

We are only concerning ourselves with Legendaries that can potentially increase our DPS. It is not currently worth using any non-DPS Legendary for any PvE content.

For all situations, we recommend the Dire Command. Through an existing bug that has gone unfixed, it will essentially double-dip on the separate Kill Commands from your Animal Companion, leading to a surge in power.
