Tier Sets

Season 2 Beast Mastery Hunter Tier Set:

  • (2) Set Bonus: Your spells and abilities have a chance to hit a Jackpot! that fires a Barbed Shot at 200% effectiveness. Casting Bestial Wrath always hits a Jackpot!
  • (4) Set Bonus: Hitting a Jackpot! infuses your pet with a mutagen, causing its auto-attacks to deal bonus Nature damage to its target and up to 5 enemies within 10 yds for 8 sec. Mutagenic attacks reduce the cooldown of Bestial Wrath by 0.5 sec.

Entirely passive Tier Set boni, effectively granting you a lot more Bestial Wrath uptime, aswell as buffing your pet everytime you use Bestial Wrath.

Trinkets

Good Raid-Trinket options include:

The Mythic+ Trinkets you should aim for are:

On top of that there are some competitive Trinkets from Delves. They are generally good early on in a season.

Embellishments

We want two pieces of gear with the Dawnthread Lining Embellishment, which increases critical strike rating when above 80% HP.

Best slots for our crafted pieces are Wrists, Boots or Belt, due to their lower stat budget and bad alternatives.

The stats we want to apply to our crafted Gear are Critical Strike and Haste.

Alternatively you could Craft a p-0-w-x2 Weapon with Ascendance, which increases a random secondary stat, every 8 seconds you remain in combat. Pair this embellishment with a pair of crafted Wrist or Boots with Writhing Armor Banding to double up the Ascendance value of your weapon.

This is recommended if you do not have access to an early Mythic-difficulty weapon.

Cyrce’s Circlet

Since the Item level of this ring is so high, it will always be worth using it up until you get a high item level replacement Ring. The key is always to sim it!

The gems you want to put in are:
