Havoc Demon Hunter PvP Talents and Builds — The War Within (Season 1)

This build is built around Eye Beam, Demonic, and Soul Rending to increase your damage output and survivability.

While the above table provides a generally accurate overview of the viability of talents, some finer points are discussed in the sections that follow, and we recommend you read those for a deeper understanding.

Some important spells to note in the Demon Hunter talent tree:

• The Hunt. The Hunt is crucial for opening up kill windows. Stun the kill target with Fel Eruption, Imprison the healer, and use The Hunt to land a kill.
• Collective Anguish is in the final tier and makes it so Eye Beam summons an allied Demon Hunter. This mob will deal damage to your target and heal you.
• Sigil of Misery is a new spell for Havoc that allows them to place on the ground and will fear all enemies inside of it after 2 sec. This is a great follow-up after a stun or Imprison is on the enemy healer.

Some important spells to note in the Havoc Demon Hunter Talent tree:

• Essence Break deals spread damage and increases the damage of your next Chaos Strike and Blade Dance.
• Furious Gaze is great because Eye Beam can no longer be kicked. Unless you get crowd-controlled during the channel, you will get full value out of this talent.

Glimpse makes you immune to crowd control and reduces the damage you take until you land when casting Vengeful Retreat. This is a great way to avoid incoming damage when you are the primary focus for the enemy team.

Chaotic Imprint works great when paired with the talent Any Means Necessary. If your primary goal is to deal damage, this talent is perfect for increasing your overall damage output.

Reverse Magic removes all harmful magical effects from yourself and all nearby allies within 10 yards, and sends them back to their original caster if possible. If you are playing against a team with multiple magical crowd control abilities ( Polymorph, Hammer of Justice), you should be using this talent.

Detainment increases the duration of your Imprison, and that target is immune to damage and healing while it is active. This is great for crowd control on the enemy healer.

Cleansed by Flame makes Immolation Aura also dispel all magical effects on you when cast. This is a very important talent to have when playing against a team with DoTs on it. Use this talent versus Shadow Priest, Balance Druids, or Elemental Shaman.
