This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Beast Mastery Hunter, please visit our dedicated Stats page.
Best Corruption Enchants for Beast Mastery Hunter
Below, you can find the best Corruption Enchants to use for Raiding and Mythic+ Content on your Beast Mastery Hunter. The Raiding recommendation is based on single-target DPS simulations, while the Mythic+ recommendation is based on a mixture of single-target and AoE.
Raiding Corruption Enchants for Beast Mastery Hunter
Greater Rune of the Void Ritual is currently optimal for all scenarios. Single-Target, AoE, you name it. Expect some tuning to balance them out in the future, but for now, Greater Void Ritual dominates.
Mythic+ Corruption Enchants for Beast Mastery Hunter
Greater Rune of the Void Ritual is currently optimal for all scenarios. Single-Target, AoE, you name it. Expect some tuning to balance them out in the future, but for now, Greater Void Ritual dominates.
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 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/
Quick Onyx/
Quick Sapphire/
Deadly Emerald. Fill in remaining sockets with
Deadly Emerald.

Best Flask for Beast Mastery Hunter in The War Within
You should be drinking the Flask of Alchemical Chaos at all times.
Best Potion for Beast Mastery Hunter in The War Within
Your stat potion should be Tempered Potion. Use these when you will
do the most damage with your abilities, likely during your cooldowns and/or
Bloodlust/
Heroism. You can also obtain
Fleeting Tempered Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by
Alchemists.
You should keep a stock of Algari Healing Potions to use when at
low health, and if you have a Warlock in the group, grab their
Healthstones and use them as well. Do not macro these together, they
are best used separately! You can also obtain
Fleeting Algari Healing Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by
Alchemists.
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,
Outsider's Provisions,
Jester's Board,
Empress' Farewell personal food, or the
The Sushi Special Feast. They are all identical.
It may also be worth eating "split" Stat Foods, such as 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 Runes to
increase your primary stat. Augment Runes are expensive, and disappear on death, so use them wisely!
