What Has Changed for Havoc Demon Hunter?Shadowlands Demon Hunter Class Changesprevious articleNotable Changes Since Last Article

All 4 different Covenants received numerical alterations bringing them closer together.

Some tuning has been done to various talents and spells.

Caos desatado was changed... AGAIN.
On one hand, removing the Inner Demon from the talent is great as the landing has been historically buggy and highly dependent on the player latency. On the other hand, the Inner Demon offered an iconic feel and visual to this talent. Overall I think for the greater good, this is a great change apart from the 50% nerf that came with this change in order to put the talent in line with the other two talent on the same row.

Tormenta de gujas

Originally and for a long time on beta, Tormenta de gujas did not benefit from our Maestría: Presencia demoníaca. This has been fixed making Glaive Tempest a better talent.

Pasto de las llamas

Not exactly the most insane rework but it makes the ability stronger.

Leveling Perks in Shadowlands

Level 52 - Carga vil.
A nice damage boost to Fel Rush, nothing extraordinary but great nontheless.

Level 54Metamorfosis

The Transformación caótica azerite trait as a passive. This somewhat restrict our usage of Metamorphosis around min/maxing the effect of this passive which is generally great but on some niche encounter can also be very limiting on how and when we use our 4 minute cooldown. Generally a good passive to have.

Level 56Golpe de caos

Havoc pure single target damage is slightly below average in Shadowlands and this passive is a very welcome one.

Level 58Haz ocular

We commented on the previous article about the lost of Furious Gaze and what it meant for the spec going forward and Blizzard heard us. Furious Gaze passive is extremely powerful and benefits our cooldown based spells greatly. What is even better is that in Shadowlands Furious gaze is haste % and not haste rating like it was in BFA, which means that the secondary stat DR will not affect this powerful passive.

Gameplay Repercussions from the Recent ChangesTormenta de gujasDemoníacoInerciaTromba vilCovenantsKyrianNecrolordNight FaeVenthyrHereKyrian

Decreto elisio is quite nice ability to use. The sigil being AoE and on a short cooldown gives it a good niche that emphasize one of Havoc's strength. The 3 lesser soul fragments are also nice to have access to and synergize well with Apetito demoníaco granting you basically 90 fury every time you use the spell.

Repetir decreto - This conduit generates a second sigil in the same spot that deals a portion of the damage. Unfortunately it doesn't also generate extra souls. Still, it's a respectable increase to one of our most powerful AoE damage abilities.

Invocar al administrador This ability offered strong utility in M+ due to the amount of debuff it could cleanse from the player but now that Nathria testing has concluded, this signature looks even better. Most encounters in the raid involve bleeds which can be cleansed from the potion.

Necrolord

Pasto de las llamas - Has just been reworked, again. Not exactly the most insane rework but it makes the ability stronger. The newly buffed Alma demoníaca potenciada is also a significant buff for us on a 2 minute cooldown which means that every other use will also by synced up with Metamorfosis for big gains.

Poza de meditación - This extends the duration of the damage buff from absorbing an Alma demoníaca potenciada. It's a strong choice if playing Necrolord, as it can provide a significant uptime increase to a 25% bonus.

Modelar carne The shield can be quite powerful in niche situations which seems to be the theme for Signature abilities. We can all think of / remember encounters where having this shield would've been a life saver and I don't think Shadowlands will be any different.

Night Fae

La caza has received a nice buff recently making it more competitive with the other covenant ability. The dot is still extremely weird to apply with 100% confidence as mob hitbox are very often deceptive in their size on top of a charge ability. The cast time makes this ability extremely awkward to use as well to say the least.

Malicia antinatural - A substantial increase to the primary target damage of La caza. Unfortunately has no effect in AoE.

Forma de alma With so much mobility available to us with Carga vil, Planear, Retirada vengativa and Maestría: Presencia demoníaca this is quite useless for us.

Venthyr

Marca pecaminosa. is the highest damage covenant ability for us. The downside compared to the Kyrian ability is that Sinful Brand is only single target outside of when you Metamorfosis every 4 minutes and apply Marca pecaminosa on all targets hit by Meta.

Escrutinio aumentado - A good reduction to the cooldown of Marca pecaminosa, has great synergy if playing Decoro del páramo from Theotar the Mad Duke.

Puerta de las Sombras A teleport can be situationally nice however for the same reasons the Night Fae signature was pretty useless outside of these moments for us.

OverviewVenthyrKyrianVenthyrKyrianBest Conduits and Soulbinds for Havoc Demon Hunter

Potency

Embate implacable - For Raiding. This conduit will give us a great single target damage bonus which is the desired type of damage for most raiding encounters.

Inferno creciente - For M+. A very solid buff to Aura de inmolación in AoE and cleave making our sustained DPS noticeably stronger.

If your soulbind tree allow for two Potency conduit, use the two above in all situations. They are simply that good

Finesse - Finesse conduits do not provide great benefits for Havoc so if we pick them we will use them in this order.

Celeridad de fuego vil - a nice movement speed buff.

Consumo voraz - situationally nice but enemies having multiple buffs to purge is a rare occurrence, strong in PVP however.

Endurance

Tinta viscosa - a flat magic damage reduction? Most damage taken from encounters is magic. This conduit is extremely strong in all content of the game.

Defensor vil - another strong defensive conduit on a short cooldown ability. This is great all around.

Restauración destrozada - especially strong when playing Apetito demoníaco due to the extra orbs spawned, so some niche uses.

Best Soulbinds for Havoc Demon HunterVenthyrKyrian

Amante de la adrenalina is a powerful haste buff with decent uptime in Raid, and very good uptime in Mythic+.

Agente del caos is a solid interrupt ability, with many possible uses in Mythic+.

Preparación concienzuda is just a permanent buff to consumables, which is always good.

Duelista intrépido is a solid passive, equivalent to 3% Versatility. Unfortunately it requires a second Finesse conduit, putting it behind some others.

Romper con el pasadoLegendaries

Demon Hunter Legendaries

Angustia colectiva - This power is very strong. Provides very strong AoE burst and reliable single target damage also.

Tiempo de oscuridad - 0 throughput benefits, RNG defensive as darkness does not guarantee any damage being prevented to begin with... very weak.

Favor de miradaoscura - This legendary provides a powerful buff... when it procs... With a 20% chance to proc the delta between good and bad pulls is very large. Very up or down feeling with this legendary. Numerically it is strong but in practice, reliable damage is almost always preferable.

Bombardeo vil - This legendary synergize well with both Maestro de la guja and Inercia. However with recent changes to how the legendary works, it is quite lack luster to use. The extra glaives are very buggy, but at least they don't pull extra adds anymore. The damage provided by this legendary is strong in all situations, but unfortunately it is still bugged and does not throw the correct amount of glaives resulting in a lot of damage lost.

Havoc Demon Hunter Legendaries

Herida ardiente - Is a decent legendary on AoE and mostly for M+. It requires a lot of tab targeting to fully utilize but if you can maintain the debuff on multiple enemies the damage ramps up quickly.

Teoría del caos - Recently buffed and now a strong legendary for single target when using Primera baja. There is some RNG involved in proccing this but the bonus it provides is very very strong.

Naturaleza más oscura - Very strong bonus but the proc condition for this legendary are quite hard to meet. Holding Eye Beam for the end of a pull is very very bad as well and sniping killing blow isn't the easiest task to achieve.

Núcleo vil errático At first glance this looks amazing paired with Inercia but in reality the extra time we spend in Momentum is basically wasted as we do not currently have the resource generation to empower the added momentum uptime. Later in the expansion this legendary power will gain a lot of value.

Neutral Legendaries

Eco de Eonar - Was weak, buffed, and then nerfed. It has too low of a proc rate to be useful and the effect itself isn't even particularly powerful despite being random.

Dictamen de la Enjuiciadora - Same as every other legendary in this category. It does some damage but weak.

Estertor de Las Fauces - Simply useless outside Torghast.

Sagacidad de Norgannon - We aren't casters. Useless.

Proclamación de Sephuz - This is decent in Mythic+ due to the high uptime on interrupts and stuns. It's a decent option but not quite as strong as others.

Cebo de fantasmagorías estable - Something for world content? Probably unnecessary.

Mirada fija del Carcelero - Nice buff, but useless in PVE or PVP.

Sacrificio de vitalidad - Used to be good for Vengeance but for Havoc, pretty useless once again.

Not to mention the kyrian ability is up every minute for aoe but Venthyr covenant ability can only be used in aoe whenever meta is up, the other time it’s single target only.

No. You never do that, you'll quickly find yourself overwhelmed with flow and movement issues cause you used your Retreat and Rush to do some pathetic damage. Its a death and life situation in raids too.Comentario de MoxxiKhazModanNothing about the Furious gaze nerf ?
It used to be stackable when it was an azerite trait. Now it just resets to 12 seconds when Eye beam is used after Meta reset.
