Havoc Demon Hunter PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Dragonflight / 10.0.7)
Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Havoc Demon Hunter in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats, followed by advice on how to choose the rest of your gear and your trinkets.
This page is part of our Havoc Demon Hunter PvP Guide.
Stat Priority for Havoc Demon Hunters in PvP
The stat priority for Havoc Demon Hunter in PvP is as follows:
- Agility;
- Mastery;
- Versatility;
- Haste;
- Critical Strike.
Agility is the best stat in all situations. Mastery ( Mastery: Demonic Presence)
is the strongest secondary stat at all times due it increasing your Chaos damage and
movement speed. You should also try to focus on getting Versatility. This will
reduce the damage you take while increasing your overall damage.
Gear Recommendations
General Guidelines
In general, as a Havoc Demon Hunter, you want to get trinkets that increase your damage or survivability. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stat you want to be increasing is Versatility or Agility.
