Best Dragonflight Gems for Beast Mastery Hunter

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 one Inscribed Illimited Diamond Icon Inscribed Illimited Diamond in an item you are unlikely to replace. Your other sockets should be simulated on Raidbots, but Crafty Ysemerald Icon Crafty Ysemerald/Crafty Alexstraszite Icon Crafty Alexstraszite are the most common choices.

Onyx Annulet and Primordial Gemstones for Beast Mastery Hunter

Note that this section concerns a Patch 10.0.7 Mechanic, the Onyx Annulet. We include it, as it can still have relevance for early gearing in Patch 10.1.

Patch 10.0.7 introduced the Onyx Annulet, a special Ring with unique sockets that can only be filled by Primordial Gemstones, unique gems with special effects, but no secondary stats. The ring itself has no secondary stats either.

Below, we have ranked the best Primordial Gemstone combinations to use. Keep in mind that you should probably not use the Onyx Annulet at all if you are well-geared. Sim yourself to be sure.

Best Dragonflight Phials for Beast Mastery Hunter

5.1.

Best Flask and Phial for Beast Mastery Hunter

The best Flask is a slightly complicated topic.

  • Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage Icon Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage is the best DPS for most scenarios, but will occasionally do hefty damage to you after you have taken enough damage. You need around 70% uptime on the Corrupting Rage buff (the beneficial part) in combat for this to beat other Phials, so check your buff uptimes to make sure you meet this requirement. Otherwise, swap to the Phial below.
  • Phial of Tepid Versatility Icon Phial of Tepid Versatility is the best choice when the Iced Phial deals too much damage to be worth it or has too low uptime.
  • Phial of Elemental Chaos Icon Phial of Elemental Chaos does similar DPS to Tepid Versatility but does not have the defensive benefits.
  • Phial of Static Empowerment Icon Phial of Static Empowerment and Phial of Charged Isolation Icon Phial of Charged Isolation are the best on paper but highly dependent on their uptime. You need at least 80% uptime to beat out all other options. This is very rare.

Overall, your best single-target option is Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage Icon Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage as it provides the best DPS in realistic scenarios. Just be aware of the damage penalty and keep some /Phial of Tepid Versatility Icon Phial of Tepid Versatility/Phial of Elemental Chaos Icon Phial of Elemental Chaos on hand.

6.

Best Dragonflight Potion for Beast Mastery Hunter

Your potion should be Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power Icon Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power/Fleeting Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power Icon Fleeting Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power (obtained from Cauldrons).

Warlock Healthstones and Refreshing Healing Potion Icon Refreshing Healing Potion should be used when at low health.

6.1.

Best Food for Beast Mastery

You should eat the 75 Agility feasts Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak Icon Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak/Hoard of Draconic Delicacies Icon Hoard of Draconic Delicacies, or the Fated Fortune Cookie Icon Fated Fortune Cookie when available. Otherwise, eat Deviously Deviled Eggs Icon Deviously Deviled Eggs for the same benefit, but at your own expense!

In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Draconic Augment Rune Icon Draconic Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of the consumable runes available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them for when you need them.
