Havoc Demon Hunter PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Shadowlands / 9.2)

The stat priority for Havoc Demon Hunter in PvP is as follows:

1. Agility;
2. Haste;
3. Versatility;
4. Critical Strike;
5. Mastery.

Agility is the best stat in all situations. Haste is the strongest secondary stat at all times due decreasing the global cooldown on your abilities. You should also try to focus on getting Versatility. This will reduce the damage you take while increasing your overall damage.
