Devourer Demon Hunter DPS Gear and Best in Slot — Midnight (12.0.1)

Welcome to our Gear and BiS Page for Devourer Demon Hunter for Midnight! Check this page to learn everything you need to know about gearing an Devourer Demon Hunter, including the BiS Gear from all sources, Raiding, and Mythic+, information on the best Trinkets, Tier Sets, and much more.

Pre-Season Disclaimer

This page is currently geared toward the Pre-Season of Midnight. This means it doesn't go over the absolute best long term gear pieces, and is more focused on building the best setup before endgame content releases. Check back closer to the Season 1 launch for full BiS recommendations!

For discussion and information on Stats specifically, check out our Stats page linked below.

Devourer Demon Hunter BiS List in Pre-Season

The list below only contains the Best-in-Slot gear available in the Midnight Pre-Season. This means no Raid or Mythic+ gear is included, instead it provides the best setup available from Midnight Dungeons and Delves, with Crafting not included due to how early in the expansion we are.

Note that this gear-set aims to balance out stats evenly to avoid diminishing returns, so individual pieces may not suit your current gear-set on their own.

Slot	Item	Source/Note
Main Hand	Singularity Slicer	Voidscar Arena
Off Hand	Resolute Runeglaive	Magister's Terrace
Helm	Vilefiend's Guise	Murder Row
Neck	Pendant of Malefic Fury	Murder Row
Shoulder	Enthralled Bonespines	Maisara Caverns

Bracers	Fury-fletched Armlets	Murder Row
Gloves	Gloves of Viscous Goo	Magister's Terrace
Belt	Snapvine Cinch	Windrunner Spire
Legs	Legwraps of Lingering Legacies	Windrunner Spire
Boots	Arctic Explorer's Legwraps	Den of Nalorakk
Ring #1	Bifurcation Band	Magister's Terrace
Ring #2	Sickening Signet of Atroxus	Voidscar Arena
Trinket #1	Emberwing Feather	Windrunner Spire
Trinket #2	Heart of Wind	Windrunner Spire
Trinket Alt.	Freightrunner's Flask Vessel of Tortured Souls Sapling of the Dawnroot	Murder Row Maisara Caverns The Blinding Vale

Due to there being less endgame content available in the Pre-Season alongside fewer options, for now we'll be recommending the best trinkets to pick up before Season 1 begins. 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 Pre-Season

On-Use - Emberwing Feather or, alternatively, Freightrunner's Flask
Passive - Heart of Wind or, alternatively, Vessel of Tortured Souls

Click for Devourer Pre-Season Trinket Rankings

Ranking	Trinket
S Tier	Emberwing Feather Heart of Wind
A Tier	Freightrunner's Flask Vessel of Tortured Souls - Click for Details Provided you consistently collect the orbs spawned for Intellect, this is a solid passive trinket that covers Devourer's extended cooldown windows. Sapling of the Dawnroot Glorious Crusader's Keepsake
B Tier	Lightspire Core - Click for Details While passive Mastery with an additional proc is good, the positional requirements on a spec that can sometimes be moving quite a lot holds it back slightly. Eye of the Drowning Void Ever-Collapsing Void Fissure
C Tier	Soulcatcher's Charm Sealed Chaos Urn
D Tier	Sylvan Wakrapuku Void-Reaper's Libram

Crafting Disclaimer

During the Pre-Season there's no reason to rush to craft! While we provide recommendations for what is likely to be the best picks, things may change, so bear that in mind when you get your first Spark of Radiance.

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 ➜ Loa Worshiper's Band ➜ Aetherlume Bands

Crafting Notes:

• Craft a weapon first, as it has the biggest impact early. Always pick a Warglaive, for the flexibility to switch specs. This isn't in the absolute BiS setup, but has high early impact. Attach a Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt.
• Craft Loa Worshiper's Band second. Prioritise Flawless Masterful Peridot in sockets after your Diamond.
• Craft Aetherlume Bands third. Attach a Stabilizing Gemstone Bandolier to improve the ring, and remove the Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt from your weapon to make room.

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.

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!

If you are new to simming and Raidbots, check out our detailed guide below.

As you complete endgame content, you will gather upgrade crests such as Myth Dawncrest that can be used to upgrade your items. Once you have upgraded a slot to a particular item level, any other item in that slot can be upgraded without a Crest cost.

As Crests are a limited resource, ideally you want to obtain the highest item-level possible before committing any crests to upgrade it. If you are capable of completing higher Mythic+ dungeons, it is generally a good idea to wait until you have the slot maxed out with free upgrades first.

Below is a general slot priority you should upgrade your items in.

1. Weapons
2. Trinkets
3. Helm/Chest/Legs
4. Shoulders/Gloves/Belt/Boots
5. Rings and Necks
6. Cloaks and Bracers

Note that exceptions are possible, such as special items that have additional procs attached to them. If you're looking to find out more about how the upgrade system has changed going into Midnight, you can check our Gear Upgrade System page.
