General Information

This page will guide you through the process of understanding what the best Azerite traits and items are for your Beast Mastery Hunter in the current (8.0.1) patch of the Battle for Azeroth World of Warcraft expansion. You will have to equip the Heart of Azeroth to access these traits, but our Heart of Azeroth guide can tell you everything you need to know.

About Our Author

This guide has been written by Azortharion, the main theorycrafter of the spec for many years. He is an accomplished player with dozen of top parses for all specs throughout the game's history. He is also the Admin of Trueshot Lodge, the Hunter Class Discord, and you can watch his stream on Twitch.

1. Choosing Azerite Gear as a Beast Mastery Hunter

Your choice of Azerite Gear pieces will almost always come down to the item level first, and the traits that it has second. Note that the traits you will look at when choosing gear are the Outer Ring traits, as these are the ones with the biggest impact on your gameplay.

The general rule is that if an item is a 15+ item level upgrade over another item, you should use it. If the difference between the two items is less than 15 item levels, then you should choose the one with the better Outer Ring trait. As we said, though, this is a general rule and there are exceptions; for example, if you are comparing an extremely bad trait ( Blood Rite) to an extremely good one ( Primal Instincts). It is nearly impossible to take every single variable into account without using a tool like Raidbots to simulate the difference for yourself.

It is worth noting that if the difference between the traits is very small, then the higher item level pick will be more desirable. Azerite pieces have a high amount of Stamina, increasing your maximum health. A tiny difference in that regard can be the difference between dying and surviving, so item level is almost always king.

2. Choosing Azerite Traits as a Beast Mastery Hunter

In the sections that follow, we will look at the best traits to choose. While the traits are ordered by power, this order is not a very strict priority, but more of a guideline.

2.1. Reorigination Array

The Reorigination Array is a buff that is activated within Uldir when you are using one trait of either Archive of the Titans or Laser Matrix. The Array increases your highest secondary stat by 75 per stack. Every week, it gains a stack when you kill 3 raid bosses in Uldir on any difficulty. It tops out at 10 stacks, or 750 of your highest secondary stat.

Because of this, using either Archive of the Titans or Laser Matrix is mandatory inside Uldir. You only need one trait to activate the Reorigination Array.

There are no traits that are so good that it is worth dropping Reorigination Array.

2.2. Outer Ring

The Outer Ring traits are the first ones you unlock, and they are by far the most important from a DPS perspective. You can see the simulation comparison of these traits below.

Pack Alpha has a very high position in the chart further below, but it is important to note that this trait is only "that" good when you have 3 of them. As you can see, having 2 Pack Alpha traits is only about as good as having 2 Primal Instincts traits. Pack Alpha has a number of downsides. Notably, it forces you into the Animal Companion talent, which means that you lose out on the execute of Killer Instinct. Furthermore, using this talent will cause a lot of your damage to rely on a somewhat weak secondary pet that can easily be killed by certain mechanics. Finally, Pack Alpha's first trait is extremely weak. Either way, you will need 2 or more traits to make it competitive. We prefer Primal Instincts.

Primal Instincts is generally the best trait for Beast Mastery in all situations. It significantly amplifies your main cooldown and it is tuned very highly. It gains value from being tied to your largest cooldown, allowing you to benefit from this trait when it is most important, like large Mythic+ pulls and important add spawns in raids.

Laser Matrix and Archive of the Titans are essentially mandatory traits to have on your gear when raiding in Uldir on any difficulty. This is because having at least one of these traits will activate Reorigination Array, a passive effect that vastly increases your highest secondary stat each week. Archive of the Titans is generally the best one, but it is not very important which one you have, as long as you have at least one in Uldir.

Blightborne Infusion is a powerful Critical Strike buff that lasts for 14 seconds. This is simply a good all-around option, benefiting both your single-target and AoE damage hugely.

Haze of Rage does not simulate amazingly well, but it is very good for being tied to your main cooldown, Bestial Wrath. This cooldown is often saved for and used on large add spawns or other important timings in a fight or Mythic+ dungeon. The Agility proc on top of it will help you burst more and can make a big difference in your short-term burst DPS.

Feeding Frenzy is a decent trait, increasing the duration of your your pet's Frenzy buff by 1 second, and increasing Barbed Shots DoT damage. You generally only want one of these traits at maximum, since stacking additional traits will not increase the duration of Frenzy any further.

2.3. Middle Ring

The Middle Ring traits are all fairly close, and they will rarely affect your choice of Azerite Gear. You can see the simulation comparison of these traits below.

Overwhelming Power has the highest DPS potential of the traits in this ring, but it will lose efficiency whenever you take damage, which can be very often in some raid encounters.

Heed My Call is almost as good as Overwhelming Power, but it does not have the caveat of losing efficiency when you take damage. It also outperforms Overwhelming Power on AoE, so it is a better default option.

Azerite Globules is generally not worth choosing. Its main value comes from AoE damage, but the debuff has to actually stack up 3 times before it does damage. In Mythic+ where AoE is the most prevalent, targets die constantly, meaning that many stacks of this debuff will get lost.

2.4. Inner Ring

The Inner Ring consists mostly of defensive or utility traits.

Duck and Cover reduces Feign Death's cooldown to 25 seconds, and it causes Feign Death to give you a small absorb shield. Because this one is actually entirely in your control, it can be a lifesaver at the right moment. Being able to Feign Death more often can allow you to negate certain spells in Mythic+ more often as well, so it is definitely the best trait in this tier.

Shellshock allows your main defensive, Aspect of the Turtle to also heal you, this can be situationally useful and it is a good choice since its effect is entirely in your control.

Longstrider is arguably the best "DPS" option in this tier. By increasing your movement speed, it allows you to close gaps and dodge things slightly faster.

Resounding Protection is an absorb shield that automatically gets applied every 30 seconds. This is one of the best defensive traits to have, as you will always be able to benefit from it.

3. Azerite Traits Rotation Changes and Details for Beast Mastery Hunter

Some of your Azerite Traits in Battle For Azeroth can have a small effect on your rotation. They generally do not change the fundamentals, but they allow you to use their effects to squeeze just a little bit more damage out than your competition.

• Primal Instincts causes you to not want to use Aspect of the Wild unless you have 0 charges of Barbed Shot remaining. This is usually just the case right after using a Barbed Shot.
• Primal Instincts influences your opener very slightly. We have listed the alternative opener on the Rotation Page.

4. Relative Strength of Azerite Traits for Beast Mastery Hunter

Below we have listed the relative strength of the most relevant Azerite Traits, as far as they are implemented in our simulation tools at the moment.

Because you can have the same trait multiple times, and because some traits can change the rotation if you stack it multiple times, we have listed the relative strength of the traits depending on how many of them you have.

We are not including different item levels of Azerite pieces, because in most situations you are going to want the highest item level piece regardless. As with any rule, there are exceptions and you should always sim your own character's traits with Raidbots to be sure.

4.1. DPS Azerite Trait Ranking for Beast Mastery Hunter

Both of these simulations are based on Heroic Uldir gear with a good distribution of stats for the spec. Trinkets have been left out, as they can arbitrarily alter the results. As always, treat these simulations as a guideline, not a rule, and always sim your own character to be sure.

The traits listed here are mostly from the Outer Ring, or in the case of "TIER 2" marked traits, they are from the Middle Ring. The Inner Ring traits do not provide a DPS increase. Almost all your item choices should be based on the trait in the Outer Ring, as the difference between Tier 2 traits is very small.

4.2. Single-Target

4.3. 3 Targets (Mythic+, etc)

If a trait is missing from this list, then it is likely because it is not properly implemented in SimulationCraft yet.

You can see the spreadsheet source for this simulation here.

5. Find Azerite Armor By Trait/Power
