Tier Sets
The Demon Hunter set is called Husk of the Hypogeal Nemesis and wearing 2-4 provides the following bonuses to your character:
- (2) Set Bonus: Blade Dance deals 20% increased damage.
- (4) Set Bonus: Chaos Strike deals 12% increased damage, and has a 25% chance to reset the cooldown of Blade Dance and reduce its Fury cost by 30%.
Both of the Tier Set bonuses provide a simple, yet powerful buff to two of Havocs main core abilities. It is a more single target focussed Tier Set and provides additional uses of Blade Dance due to the chance of the 4-piece proccing from Chaos Strike.

Trinkets
Mad Queen’s Mandate - An incredibly powerful on-use trinket with a high single target hit. Mandate scales incredibly with Crit, Havocs Best stat and makes it an incredible trinket for Single Target fights.
Treacherous Transmitter - Transmitter is a bit of a odd trinket making you do a puzzle for a crazy high main stat bonus, however this can be very disorientating if you’re not comfortable with the spec as it forces you to do one of three different tasks which are jumping 3 times, standing on a pad for 3 seconds or soaking a purple orb.
Skardyn’s Grace - A on-use trinket granting a high amount of Mastery on a 2 minute cooldown making it perfect for Havoc as it lines up perfectly with Metamorphosis.
Ara-Kara Sacbrood - The strongest passive trinket for Havoc, granting a rolling main stat buff which can stack making it great for AoE and decent for single target.
Void Reaper’s Contract - A damage proccing trinket with an additional Execute modifier making it a powerful choice for single target. It gets an additional bonus if paired with its counterpart Void Reaper’s Warp Blade, however it's not a Best in Slot trinket but a powerful placeholder until others are given.
Embellishments
The best Embellishment for raid is the combination of Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension which goes on weapons, combined with its effect increase from the Writhing Armor Banding, which goes on any Armor piece.
The Best Embellishment for Mythic+ is 2x Dawnthread Lining’s as Ascension loses value in AoE situations compared to the massive crit bonus of Dawnthread.
After you’ve gotten your embellishment crafts you can use the remaining Spark of Omens you gather to fill holes in your gear.
