Beast Mastery Hunter DPS Gear and Best in Slot — Season 4

Welcome to our Gear and BiS Page for Beast Mastery Hunter for Season 4. Check this page to learn everything you need to know about gearing a Beast Mastery Hunter, including the BiS Gear from all sources, Raiding, and Mythic+, information on the best Trinkets, Tier Sets, and much more.

For discussion and information on Stats specifically, check out our Stats page below.

Season 4 offers a way to target specific, powerful items with the new Antique Bronze Bullion. Here are the best items to spend your Bullions on in Dragonflight Season 4 as a Beast Mastery Hunter

1. Neltharax, Enemy of the Sky — This weapon has a +7 iLvl advantage over all other weapons. Its passive effect does not hurt either.
2. A few options. I recommend sorting your Trinkets out (although Bullions will not necessarily be enough here) before moving further down the list.
   • Whispering Incarnate Icon/ Ominous Chromatic Essence — If you are in a Raid where other players are likely to use these Trinkets, it is optimal for all scenarios.
   • Controlled Current Technique — Optimal for any sort of AoE. Buy this first for Mythic+.
   • Pip's Emerald Friendship Badge — An Icon/Ominous alternative for when you do not have allies with those Trinkets. A good pairing with Controlled Current Technique for Mythic+.
   • Manic Grieftorch — This Trinket requires some of your raid members to die to be optimal. A death or two will be enough to push this Trinket ahead of all other Trinkets except for Whispering Incarnate Icon for single-target. With enough deaths, of course, this Trinket can be become completely unbeatable.
3. Seal of Diurna's Chosen — This Ring is not that special, but it is stronger than all other Rings, and very hotly contested. You might not want to spend a Bullion on this until you have a socket to put in it.
4. Voice of the Silent Star — Around ~0.7% better than all other Cloaks, but it has no Stamina. If you are doing high Mythic+ where survivability is paramount, you may want to skip this item entirely.
5. At this point, consider Seal of Filial Duty for the extra +7 iLvl (if you have a socket prepared) and the Absorb shield.
6. Ashes of the Embersoul is the best burst trinket in the game, and can be good for niche scenarios where short-term burst is the primary concern, even above overall DPS.

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.

The Tier Set is comprised of 5 items, all carrying the Stormwing Harrier'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 causes Bestial Wrath to summon a Dire Beast, with all associated effects therefore, including Dire Command. Can only be triggered once every 15 seconds.
• 4 pieces: Hunter Beast Mastery 10.2 Class Set 4pc causes your most recent Dire Beast summon to also obey your Kill Command, and benefit from your 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 Shoulders, due to their Versatility. Check out the BiS List for more information.

There are a number of strong options available for Beast Mastery Hunter in Season 4 coming from a variety of different sources. Some relevant ones to look for in order of strength are:

Trinket	Note
Whispering Incarnate Icon/ Ominous Chromatic Essence	An extremely powerful statstick Trinket. Best for all situations. Both of these Trinkets require Allies to also be using it for maximal effect. Use the one that you have more friends with. If you lack friends with the Trinket(s), go for Pip's instead.
Pip's Emerald Friendship Badge	This is better than Icon if you have no allies using Icon.
Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows	The best on-use Trinket for single-target. It is a little annoying to obtain, as you only have one chance from the last boss of Hardmode Dawn of the Infinite each week.
Controlled Current Technique	This Trinket's attack speed bonus affects our pets, which means it feeds Beast Cleave damage directly. It is our best Trinket for all things AoE and Mythic+, alongside Icon/Pip's.
Witherbark's Branch	This (now unobtainable) Season 4 Trinket can be BiS alongside Icon with perfect play and at 489 Item Level. If you have it, great. If you do not, I would not worry too much about it, as it is just barely ahead of something like Mirror.
Manic Grieftorch	If you are in a death-prone group, this Trinket can quickly become BiS. Even without this, it offers fantastic priority target damage in Mythic+.

These are generic simulations from Bloodmallet, giving you a rough overview of strong Beast Mastery Hunter Trinkets. It is not a replacement for simming yourself, but can still offer a quick reference point.
