Havoc Demon Hunter DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1.5
On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Havoc Demon Hunter in World of Warcraft — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1.5. We also give budget alternatives.
1. Best Gems for Havoc Demon Hunter
You should use 
Versatile Royal Quartz (or the cheaper
Versatile Kyanite) in all sockets.
2. 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.
Note that you want one of each of these Weapon enchants, rather than doubling up on them. It does not matter which hand you place which enchant on.
3. Consumables for Havoc Demon Hunters
3.1. Best Flasks and Potions for Havoc
Flask of the Currents should be used as your flask.
Battle Potion of Agility is the DPS potion of choice for Havoc
in all situations currently. 
Coastal Healing Potion is the healing
potion of choice.
3.2. Best Food for Havoc
You should eat from the 
Bountiful Captain's Feast (or the
cheaper 
Galley Banquet) when possible,
and otherwise Versatility food (
Spiced Snapper or the cheaper
Mon'Dazi).
3.3. 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.
