Enchants, Gems and Consumables for Havoc Demon Hunter
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 Havoc Demon Hunter, please visit our dedicated Stats page.
Best Gems for Havoc Demon Hunter
Due to secondary stat diminishing returns, your gems may fluctuate depending
on what is currently present on your gear. However, the most likely ideal
choice is Quick Jewel Cluster or
Versatile Jewel Cluster
(or the cheaper
Quick Jewel Doublet/
Versatile Jewel Doublet)
for extra Haste or Versatility.
Best Enchants for Havoc Demon Hunter
Slot | Enchantment |
---|---|
Rings | |
Main Hand | |
Off Hand | |
Boots | |
Chest | |
Cloak |
Switching out Enchant Weapon - Sinful Revelation for
Enchant Weapon - Lightless Force is useful for cleave and AoE
situations, but always try to make sure to maintain one instance
of
Enchant Weapon - Celestial Guidance. The hand enchanted
with each does not matter.
What Cloak enchant you pick is personal choice, but we recommend Avoidance for the extra damage reduction.
Lastly, Enchant Chest - Eternal Skirmish can be used on your
chest instead of
Enchant Chest - Eternal Stats if you want to focus more on
single-target scenarios.
Consumables for Havoc Demon Hunters
Best Flasks and Potions for Havoc
Spectral Flask of Power should be used as your flask.
Potion of Spectral Agility is your damage potion of choice.
Potion of Phantom Fire can be used for single-target
situations.
Spiritual Healing Potion is the healing potion of choice.
Shadowcore Oil is your weapon oil of choice.
Best Food for Havoc
Currently, whenever possible, you should use the
Feast of Gluttonous Hedonism, if provided by your group. Alternatively,
if using your own food, you should be using the Haste or Versatility food:
Tenebrous Crown Roast Aspic/
Steak a la Mode (though this may vary
slightly depending on your gear).
Augment Runes for Havoc
If you can afford it, you should use Veiled Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes
available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them
for when you need them.
