Devourer Demon Hunter PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — Midnight (12.0.1)
Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Havoc Demon Hunter in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats, followed by advice on how to choose the rest of your gear and your trinkets.
This page is part of our Havoc Demon Hunter PvP Guide.
Stat Priority for Devourer Demon Hunters in PvP
The stat priority for Devourer Demon Hunter in PvP is as follows:
- Intellect
- Mastery;
- Versatility;
- Haste;
- Critical Strike.
Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Mastery (
Mastery: Monster Within)
increases your Cosmic damage and movement speed. You should also try to focus on getting Versatility.
This will reduce the damage you take while increasing your overall damage.
Note: this priority is subject to change

Embellishments
The best sustained damage option is
Prismatic Focusing Iris.
This provides solid consistent damage throughout the entire match
Recommended Trinkets
Galactic Gladiator's Emblem can be an option if you need to play
particularly defensive against a comp you have not been able to survive against
(probably Rogue/Hunter comps). Despite this, it is best to use other trinkets over an
Emblem.
Galactic Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity is going to be used in most situations.
The trinket provides a main stat proc along with static Haste.
Gems and Enchants
Fill every gem socket you have with
Flawless Quick Lapis. Make sure that in
one slot you have the PvP gem
Enduring Heliotrope.
