FAQWhich Tier Slots Should We Use?

In optimal gearing, Devourer aims to use an off-piece in the Legs slot, due to the less desirable secondary stats they have. Th four ideal pieces to use are as follows:

• Devouring Reaver's Intake
• Devouring Reaver's Exhaustplates
• Devouring Reaver's Engine
• Devouring Reaver's Essence Grips

Always remember though, while this is your ideal long term setup, it's much more important to get the 4-set bonus online before worrying about perfect pieces. If this means you need to use the Legs ( Devouring Reaver's Pistons), then it's always worth using them.

Devourer wants to get one on-use trinket to pair with Void Metamorphosis, and a strong passive trinket to go with it.

Aim to pick up one trinket from each of these categories as a pair:

Trinkets to Hunt in Midnight Season 1

On-Use - Vaelgor's Final Stare or, alternatively, Emberwing Feather
Passive - Gaze of the Alnseer or, alternatively, Heart of Wind

Crafted gear provides one of the easiest ways to pick up high value items in a season, allowing you to target key pieces to fill out your gear-set. Currently it is unknown exactly when sparks will be available, so we've provided a crafting order plan so you have a general idea of where you'll be spending your Spark of Radiance when the Season begins.

Unless secondary stats are already assigned by the item, you should use a Thalassian Missive of the Feverflare for Haste and Mastery on your crafts, unless sims return different results.

Devourer Crafting Order

Spellbreaker's Warglaive ➜ Silvermoon Agent's Utility Belt ➜ Lowest Item-level Pieces

Crafting Notes:

• Craft a weapon first, as it has the biggest impact early. Always pick a Warglaive, for the flexibility to switch specs. Attach a Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt.
• Craft Silvermoon Agent's Utility Belt second. Attach Arcanoweave Lining as your second embellishment.

Following these three crafts, you should have a solid setup, and can look to crafting high item-level pieces to fill out any empty slots in your gear setup. High priority candidates are a second weapon due to the high value of off-hands for Devourer, and Jewellery pieces due to being very contested among other classes.

Early into the season, or if you have just started playing an alt, you will have limited access to upgrading-crests such as Myth Dawncrest. These can be used to upgrade gear to higher item levels. Since crests are limited each week, and every slot will cost 20 crests per upgrade regardless of the slot. Due to that, you should prioritize your usage of these on items you don't plan on replacing any time soon, or specific slots that offer larger stat benefits:

Devourer Demon Hunter Crest Upgrade Priority

Weapon (Mainhand) ➜ Trinkets ➜ Helmet/Chest/Legs ➜ Shoulders/Gloves/Belt/Boots

These are not the only items worth upgrading, of course. They simply offer the highest DPS gain early into the tier when your upgrade currency is limited. Note that exceptions are possible, such as special items that have additional procs attached to them.

While all Rings and Necklaces come with one socket by default, three additional sockets can be acquired on the Helmet, Belt and Bracer slots as a bonus when they drop. These can also be added manually using the Radiant Jewelbinder consumable, which can be purchased 6 Thalassian Token of Merit, the pity currency from The Great Vault.

When using these, it's always best to put them on pieces you don't expect to ever replace. This means Mythic items, or any crafted pieces in these slots, since they can't have them added in any other way. Due to them being a very limited currency, if you have these, it's best to plan long term before wasting any.

Throughout this page and elsewhere in our guide, we regularly refer to the importance of simming yourself on Raidbots. This is because every character is unique, and each gear piece you have access to can change what is best right now for you.

While we do offer recommendations for gear and trinkets, these are not complete replacements for simming yourself. The only way to truly optimize your character to that degree is by making use of the tools available!

The Droptimizer feature from Raidbots lets you identify which dungeons and Raid Bosses offer the highest DPS upgrades to you. It simulates all of the potential upgrades in a raid or a dungeon and lists the bosses/dungeons by rank order of how much DPS you can expect to gain from each of the items it drops. Linked below are two guides to help break down using these two features to get the most out of your gearing process:
