This page is part of our Havoc Demon Hunter PvP Guide.
Talent Choices for Havoc Demon Hunters
This build is primarily based around Soulrend and
Momentum. The combination of these two spells deal devastating
damage and will make teams quickly fall behind.
Talents Summary
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.
Demon Hunter Talent Tree Highlights
Some important spells to note in the Demon Hunter talent tree:
The Hunt. The Hunt has returned as a regular talent and 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.
Havoc Demon Hunter Talent Tree Highlights
Some important spells to note in the Havoc Demon Hunter Talent tree:
Momentum is the highlight of this build. This makes it so when you use
Fel Rush,
The Hunt, and
Vengeful Retreat you increase the damage you do.
Essence Break deals spread damage and increases the damage of your next
Chaos Strike and
Blade Dance.
Fodder to the Flame makes it so your damage spells have a chance to summon a demon. Use
Throw Glaive to kill the damage so it deals damage and heals you.
PvP Talents for Havoc Demon Hunters
Glimpse makes you immune to crowd control and reduces 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 with 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, Affliction
Warlocks, Balance Druids or Elemental Shaman.
Unending Hatred is a great PvP talent if you find yourself running
out of Fury when you are the kill target. Often you will run and kite when you
are the target and this is bad for your overall damage output. Taking this
talent will give you Fury as you run away and allow you to keep dealing damage.
