Havoc Demon Hunter Midnight Stats, Races and Consumables Guide

Stat Ranking

Agility > Critical Strike > Mastery > Haste > Versatility

The stat priorities for both Hero Trees are very similar, but they do have minor differences. Fel-Scarred tends to favor Mastery to a larger extent, while Aldrachi Reaver leans more towards Critical Strike.

Stat Outline

Havoc Demon Hunters have Agility as their primary stat. It increases your Attack Power, making your abilities do more damage.

Critical Strike is very powerful for Havoc Demon Hunter due to its many interactions with the stat, such as Know Your Enemy.

Mastery increases your Chaos Damage dealt, with options to increase your movement speed as well. With a lot of Havoc’s damage being Chaos, Mastery scales well.

Haste increases our melee attack speed, reduces the global cooldown, and reduces the cooldown of some abilities. With melee auto-attack damage buffed massively in Midnight, and Demon Blades being a large part of Havoc’s Fury generation, Haste gains more value.

Versatility provides a flat Damage and Healing increase, while also providing Damage Reduction at half the value.

Demon Hunter has three playable races: Blood Elf, Night Elf and Void Elf.

The damage output between the races is more or less identical, so feel free to play whichever race you prefer.

Night Elf is looking strong for Mythic+ due to Shadowmeld.

Void Elf provides a great mobility tool which can prove useful in raid encounters.

Blood Elf has an AoE purge with Arcane Torrent, which is only really used in niche situations.

Always sim your own character to get a clearer picture on which enchants and gems to choose.

Indecipherable Eversong Diamond is a unique gem that provides primary stat, you will always use one of these.

Powerful Eversong Diamond is another option. While it increases your Critical Strike effectiveness by 0.15% per unique gem colour, it grants far less primary stat.

There are four gem colours, the best ones for Havoc are listed below:

• Best Amethyst gem: Flawless Deadly Amethyst
• Best Peridot gem: Flawless Deadly Peridot
• Best Lapis gem: Flawless Masterful Lapis
• Best Garnet Gem: Flawless Masterful Garnet

Currently, Havoc wants Flawless Masterful Garnet in every gem slot, due to not using Powerful Eversong Diamond or an embellishment that wants different coloured gems.

Note: You want to use gems that give 2 different secondary stats since they provide more stats than the single secondary stat gems.

Always sim your own character to get a clearer picture on which enchants and gems to choose.
