Best Gems for Beast Mastery Hunter in The War Within

We highly recommend using Raidbots to sim your character's ideal gems and enchants, as they might differ from our general recommendations.

You should use Culminating Blasphemite Icon Culminating Blasphemite in one socket. Then, you should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the Crit effect, ideally Quick Ruby Icon Quick Ruby/Quick Onyx Icon Quick Onyx/Quick Sapphire Icon Quick Sapphire/ Deadly Emerald Icon Deadly Emerald. Fill in remaining sockets with Deadly Emerald Icon Deadly Emerald.

5.

Best Flask for Beast Mastery Hunter in The War Within

You should be drinking the Flask of Alchemical Chaos Icon Flask of Alchemical Chaos at all times.

6.

Best Potion for Beast Mastery Hunter in The War Within

Your stat potion should be Tempered Potion Icon Tempered Potion. Use these when you will do the most damage with your abilities, likely during your cooldowns and/or Bloodlust Icon Bloodlust/Heroism Icon Heroism. You can also obtain Fleeting Tempered Potion Icon Fleeting Tempered Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists.

You should keep a stock of Algari Healing Potion Icon Algari Healing Potions to use when at low health, and if you have a Warlock in the group, grab their Healthstone Icon Healthstones and use them as well. Do not macro these together, they are best used separately! You can also obtain Fleeting Algari Healing Potion Icon Fleeting Algari Healing Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists.

7.

Best Food for Beast Mastery Hunter in The War Within

Since our secondary stats are stronger per-point than our primary stat, you should be eating secondary stat food at all times, either Beledar's Bounty Icon Beledar's Bounty, Outsider's Provisions Icon Outsider's Provisions, Jester's Board Icon Jester's Board, Empress' Farewell Icon Empress' Farewell personal food, or the The Sushi Special Icon The Sushi Special Feast. They are all identical.

It may also be worth eating "split" Stat Foods, such as Deepfin Patty Icon Deepfin Patty, because your highest secondary stat may not always be your best one currently, point-for-point. This should be simmed.

In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Crystallized Augment Rune Icon Crystallized Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Augment Runes are expensive, and disappear on death, so use them wisely!
