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.

Необузданный хаос 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.

Буря клинков

Originally and for a long time on beta, Буря клинков did not benefit from our Искусность: демоническое присутствие. This has been fixed making Glaive Tempest a better talent.

Подпитка для пламени

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

Leveling Perks in Shadowlands

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

Level 54Метаморфоза

The Хаотичное преображение 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 56Удар Хаоса

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

Level 58Пронзающий взгляд

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 ChangesБуря клинковДемонизмИмпульсОбстрел СкверныCovenantsKyrianNecrolordNight FaeVenthyrHereKyrian

Элизийский декрет 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 Демонический аппетит granting you basically 90 fury every time you use the spell.

Повторный указ - 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.

Призыв распорядителя 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

Подпитка для пламени - Has just been reworked, again. Not exactly the most insane rework but it makes the ability stronger. The newly buffed Усиленная душа демона is also a significant buff for us on a 2 minute cooldown which means that every other use will also by synced up with Метаморфоза for big gains.

Мрачное пламя - This extends the duration of the damage buff from absorbing an Усиленная душа демона. It's a strong choice if playing Necrolord, as it can provide a significant uptime increase to a 25% bonus.

Скульптор плоти 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

Охота 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.

Неестественная злоба - A substantial increase to the primary target damage of Охота. Unfortunately has no effect in AoE.

Облик души With so much mobility available to us with Рывок Скверны, Планирование, Коварное отступление and Искусность: демоническое присутствие this is quite useless for us.

Venthyr

Клеймо греха. 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 Метаморфоза every 4 minutes and apply Клеймо греха on all targets hit by Meta.

Повышенная бдительность - A good reduction to the cooldown of Клеймо греха, has great synergy if playing Этикет пустошей from Theotar the Mad Duke.

Врата теней 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

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

Нарастающий жар преисподней - For M+. A very solid buff to Обжигающий жар 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.

Скорость огня Скверны - a nice movement speed buff.

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

Endurance

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

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

Расколотое исцеление - especially strong when playing Демонический аппетит due to the extra orbs spawned, so some niche uses.

Best Soulbinds for Havoc Demon HunterVenthyrKyrian

Поиск острых ощущений is a powerful haste buff with decent uptime in Raid, and very good uptime in Mythic+.

Агент хаоса is a solid interrupt ability, with many possible uses in Mythic+.

Тщательная подготовка is just a permanent buff to consumables, which is always good.

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

Забудь прошлоеLegendaries

Demon Hunter Legendaries

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

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

Дар созерцателя тьмы - 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.

Обстрел Скверной - This legendary synergize well with both Мастер боевого клинка and Импульс. 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

Жгучая рана - 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.

Теория хаоса - Recently buffed and now a strong legendary for single target when using Первая кровь. There is some RNG involved in proccing this but the bonus it provides is very very strong.

Темная сторона - 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.

Нестабильное ядро Скверны At first glance this looks amazing paired with Импульс 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

Эхо Эонар - 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.

Правосудие Арбитра - Same as every other legendary in this category. It does some damage but weak.

Рокот Утробы - Simply useless outside Torghast.

Прозорливость Норганнона - We aren't casters. Useless.

Декларация Сефуза - 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.

Стабильная приманка для фантазмы - Something for world content? Probably unnecessary.

Третье око Тюремщика - Nice buff, but useless in PVE or PVP.

Жертвование здоровьем - Used to be good for Vengeance but for Havoc, pretty useless once again.

Комментарий от Latus

CA Legendary is Collective Anguish, not Chaos Theory, so I don't see why you would use BD if you're using CA in single target without BD talents.
Edit: Pressed send early, oops.

I highly doubt that you'd cut BD from AoE... surely its not been nerfed that badly? Else what is the purpose of the ability. :sКомментарий от Durlotdecent guide, but compared with many of the other ones for other classes, quite lackluster, missing in the depth of a "guide" and feels rushed. No talent discussion or anything. I can gather the missing information, but for new players to the DH class or returning players I don't think this is useful besides the covenant info.
Anyhow thank you for the effort put into it.Комментарий от enghelalI just quit the game because this trash If another's kids cray for samthing they narf and buffs make this game like trash not just DH alot of classes like that.Комментарий от michaelanjelo1you go finese cuz the passive after wards is very good and the potency conduits for havoc arent that good, you could fill it with the immolate conduit for aoe but 3% dmg buff after the finese conduit at all times in single target is extremly good
