Beast Mastery Hunter PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Shadowlands / 9.2.5)

The stat priority for Beast Mastery Hunters in PvP is as follows:

1. Agility;
2. Versatility;
3. Haste;
4. Mastery;
5. Critical Strike.

Agility is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the best secondary stat you should stack. This is great for increasing your overall damage output and your survivability. Haste is your next-best secondary stat, as this will reduce the GCD for your abilities and will also increase the DoT from Flayed Shot if you are Venthyr.

In general, Beast Mastery Hunters want to get trinkets that line up well with Bestial Wrath and Aspect of the Wild. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stats you want to be increasing are either Agility or Mastery. The Agility will provide a very large increase to your damage and Mastery will increase the damage dealt by your pets. Here is the best gear we recommend you using as a Beast Mastery Hunter.

• Head: Godstalker's Sallet
• Neck: Eternal Gladiator's Necklace
• Shoulders: Godstalker's Pauldrons
• Cloak: Eternal Gladiator's Drape
• Chest: Godstalker's Hauberk
• Wrists: Eternal Gladiator's Chain Bracers
• Hands: Godstalker's Gauntlets
• Waist: Eternal Gladiator's Chain Belt
• Legs: Eternal Gladiator's Chain Breeches
• Feet: Eternal Gladiator's Chain Sabatons
• Ring 1: Eternal Gladiator's Signet
• Ring 2: Versatile Solenium Ring (with Versatility and Haste)
• Weapon: Eternal Gladiator's Ballista

Where you craft your Unity and your Craven Strategem Legendary is largely dependent on your current gear and where you can gain the most item level compared to a normal item, but Neck and Ring slots are generally good as they give guaranteed sockets.

Note: It is important to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will give you an Agility and Stamina boost that will increase your damage and survivability.

Eternal Gladiator's Medallion is a mandatory trinket to have equipped at all times. This allows you to remove any crowd control on yourself. You will normally use this when you are stuck in crowd control and a teammate is at low health. Note, if you play a Human and are playing against a team with only stuns, Eternal Gladiator's Relentless Brooch is a better option.

Eternal Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity increases your Haste and has a chance to proc your primary stat. This is an overall strong trinket, as the stat will proc often throughout an arena match.

Eternal Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity gives you Haste and has a 1-minute cooldown that increases your primary stat. This is great to use right before you activate a powerful cooldown.

Eternal Gladiator's Emblem increases your maximum health when used. This gives you an additional defensive when you think a team will be focusing you.
