"Simming" Yourself as a Beast Mastery Hunter

Throughout this page, we will regularly refer to the importance of simming yourself on Raidbots, as it is an indispensable aspect of optimizing your character.

While we do offer generic sim charts for Trinkets, this should not be a replacement for simming yourself, at least not if you want to minmax sub-1%!

If you are new to simming and Raidbots, check out our detailed guide below.

Patch 10.2 Tier Set for Beast Mastery Hunter

The Tier Set is comprised of 5 items, all carrying the Blazing Dreamstalker's moniker. Unique DPS bonuses are unlocked when wearing 2, and 4 pieces from the set:

  • 2 pieces: Hunter Beast Mastery 10.2 Class Set 2pc Icon Hunter Beast Mastery 10.2 Class Set 2pc causes Bestial Wrath Icon Bestial Wrath to summon a Dire Beast Icon Dire Beast, with all associated effects therefore, including Dire Command Icon Dire Command. Can only be triggered once every 15 seconds.
  • 4 pieces: Hunter Beast Mastery 10.2 Class Set 4pc Icon Hunter Beast Mastery 10.2 Class Set 4pc causes your most recent Dire Beast Icon Dire Beast summon to also obey your Kill Command Icon Kill Command, and benefit from your Beast Cleave Icon Beast Cleave, at 30% reduced damage.

The Tier Set Bonus is absolutely mandatory for competitive play, and you should prioritize obtaining it. You can use the Revival Catalyst to convert regular items (from Mythic+, for example) into Tier Items.

You only need 4 pieces out of 5 to get both set bonuses. We recommend you get all items except for the Gloves, due to their Versatility. Check out the BiS List for more information.

Best Crafted Items for Raiding for Beast Mastery Hunter

This section focuses on Crafting for Raiding. The rankings differ because some effects, like those on Adaptive Dracothyst Armguards Icon Adaptive Dracothyst Armguards, do not proc as reliably in Mythic+, and Allied Legguards of Sansok Khan Icon Allied Legguards of Sansok Khan relies on buffing numerous DPS allies to be good, which is not possible in the small group sizes of Mythic+.

  1. Your first 2 Crafts should be getting your Embellishments sorted. The best Embellishments for Raiding are the Adaptive Dracothyst Armguards Icon Adaptive Dracothyst Armguards, and either Blue Silken Lining Icon Blue Silken Lining (BSL) or Allied Legguards of Sansok Khan Icon Allied Legguards of Sansok Khan. The Allied Legguards are ~0.5% better than BSL in some raid compositions, mostly those with a large Ranged DPS camp, two Discipline Priests, or a combination of such factors, assuming 40% BSL uptime, but most of their value comes from buffing allies, meaning it is technically a personal DPS loss to use. Which one you Craft first depends heavily on your current gear situation and should be simulated on Raidbots. BSL can be crafted onto any item slot, and I generally recommend a Signet of Titanic Insight Icon Signet of Titanic Insight to gain the free socket.
  2. Once your Embellishments are sorted, you should chase raw Item Level on the biggest-budget items. What follows is a generic ranking of the highest-value items, to increase your Item Level with.
  3. Signet of Titanic Insight Icon Signet of Titanic Insight/Ring-Bound Hourglass Icon Ring-Bound Hourglass, whichever you did not craft previously. Note that the Hourglass cannot take Embellishments.
  4. Bow of the Dragon Hunters Icon Bow of the Dragon Hunters/Ol' Smoky Icon Ol' Smoky, if you do not otherwise have access to a 486 iLvl Weapon, and you did not craft it in previous steps.
  5. From this point, I strongly recommend you sim yourself to work out future crafts.
6.

Best Crafted Items for Mythic+ for Beast Mastery Hunter

This section focuses on Crafting for Mythic+. Blue Silken Lining Icon Blue Silken Lining generally has much higher uptimes in Mythic+ compared to Raiding, while simultaneously, its competitors have relatively lower uptimes/efficiencies in Mythic+.

  1. Your first 2 Crafts should be getting your Embellishments sorted. The best Embellishment for Mythic+ is Blue Silken Lining Icon Blue Silken Lining (BSL) in both of your Embellished slots. BSL can be crafted onto any item slot, and I generally recommend a Signet of Titanic Insight Icon Signet of Titanic Insight to gain the free sockets, for starters. The other BSL should be crafted onto whatever suits your current gear in terms of iLvl gain, and should be simmed.
  2. Once your Embellishments are sorted, you should chase raw Item Level on the biggest-budget items. What follows is a generic ranking of the highest-value items, to increase your Item Level with.
  3. Signet of Titanic Insight Icon Signet of Titanic Insight/Ring-Bound Hourglass Icon Ring-Bound Hourglass, whichever you did not craft previously. Note that the Hourglass cannot take Embellishments.
  4. Bow of the Dragon Hunters Icon Bow of the Dragon Hunters/Ol' Smoky Icon Ol' Smoky, if you do not otherwise have access to a 486 iLvl Weapon, and you did not craft it in previous steps.
  5. From this point, I strongly recommend you sim yourself to work out future crafts.

Trinkets for Beast Mastery Hunter in Season 3

There are a number of strong options available for Beast Mastery Hunter in Season 3 coming from a variety of different sources. Some relevant ones to look for in order of strength are:

Trinket Note
Witherbark's Branch Icon Witherbark's Branch Theoretically, this Trinket can be the best we have, but; optimal use of the Trinket requires you to do a lot of moving when it is used. It spawns three spheres that chase you. Optimal play entails picking up one sphere, and then collecting the other two as late as possible, just before the buff expires. This way, you extend the buff for up to 30 seconds. Most situations will not allow you to do this anywhere near perfectly, but it is still the best Trinket even if you only do it to a reasonable standard. Despite it being a two-minute on-use, it does pair pretty well with Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows Icon Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows, and should simply be used with Call of the Wild Icon Call of the Wild as normal, with Mirror being used on cooldown. It is even better if you can alter some of your Call of the Wild Icon Call of the Wilds to line up with it, while still lining every 2nd CoTW up with Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows Icon Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows. A complicated, but interesting and powerful Trinket.
Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows Icon Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows Gives a ton of your highest secondary stat for 20 seconds on a 3-minute cooldown. Stack it with Call of the Wild Icon Call of the Wild for some excellent burst! A simple and extremely powerful Trinket that "just works", when Branch does not.
Pip's Emerald Friendship Badge Icon Pip's Emerald Friendship Badge A strong "stat-stick" Trinket, and your strongest pairing with the Branch or Mirror.
Ember of Nullification Icon Ember of Nullification This Versatility stat-stick Trinket is surprisingly competitive. There are not a lot of half-decent, passive Trinkets from the Mythic+ Dungeon Pool. This pairs well with both Branch and Mirror if you do not want to use the former together.
Idol of the Earth-Warder Icon Idol of the Earth-Warder and its friends This Trinket comes in 4 forms, all crafted by Jewelcrafting. Each version of it offers a different secondary stat passive, which scales with the 4 Gem types. For the most part, the Mastery/Idol of the Earth-Warder Icon Idol of the Earth-Warder version will be optimal. This is an excellent stat-stick Trinket, particularly when you have a lot of sockets, but does require a Spark of Dreams Icon Spark of Dreams to craft. By the time you have Sparks to spare for this Trinket, you will likely have a Mirror and Pip's combo. But in case you do not, consider this one!
Bandolier of Twisted Blades Icon Bandolier of Twisted Blades Deals solid damage every 90 seconds, which scales with Death Chakram Icon Death Chakram, but it can only be used at melee range.
