Havoc Demon Hunter DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Shadowlands 9.0.2

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.

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.

Taking two Enchant Weapon - Lightless Force for AoE situations is also a worthwhile pick here, or if you want to go purely into single-target Enchant Weapon - Sinful Revelation can be used on your off-hand. 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 if you want to focus on single-target scenarios.

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.

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).

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.
