Havoc Demon Hunter PvP Guide (Dragonflight 10.0.7)
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to play in a PvP environment. The guide will cover everything from talent choices, PvP talents, gameplay and rotation, and useful racial bonuses. It is most applicable to Arena content, but most talents and racial bonuses will work in Rated Battlegrounds and skirmishes.
Havoc Demon Hunters in the Current Meta
Havoc Demon Hunters are the most feared class in the game. They not only have
strong crowd control in the form of stuns and kicks, but they also have the
strongest offensive cooldown in the game, 
Metamorphosis; on a
relatively short cooldown, you can easily swap to an enemy without a trinket
and kill them in a stun.
Havoc Demon Hunters Strengths
- Great mobility
- Strong burst and sustained damage
- Multiple utility spells
Havoc Demon Hunters Weaknesses
- Weak against teams with multiple stuns
- Predictable burst damage
- Easy to learn, but difficult to master
Notable 10.0.7 Changes
Reverse Magic now triggers the backlash effects from dispelled debuffs.- Several nodes have swapped places in the talent tree.
