Havoc Demon Hunter DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.3
Best Gems for Havoc Demon Hunter
You should always be using one 
Leviathan's Eye of Agility
in a socket, and 
Versatile Dark Opal in all other sockets.
Best Enchants for Havoc Demon Hunter
| Slot | Enchantment |
|---|---|
| Rings | |
| Weapon |
You can also use 
Enchant Weapon - Gale-Force Striking in pure single
target situations, but this will regularly be outperformed in AoE encounters by
the Navigation alternatives if not using a 
Demon Blades-oriented
build.
Consumables for Havoc Demon Hunters
Best Flasks and Potions for Havoc
Greater Flask of the Currents should be used as your flask.
Potion of Unbridled Fury should be used as your damage potion.
Abyssal Healing Potion is the healing potion of choice.
Best Food for Havoc
Currently, using 
Bil'Tong for Versatility is the ideal choice.
You can also use 
Famine Evaluator And Snack Table if provided by
your group for a similar gain.
Augment Runes for Havoc
If you can afford it, you should use 
Battle-Scarred 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.
Starting in patch 8.3 you can also use the re-usable
Lightning-Forged Augment Rune to increase your primary stat by an equal
amount.
