About the Class

Havoc Demon Hunter is a melee fighter wielding two one-handed war glaives. The class has massive burst damage both in single target and AoE, excellent mobility and a simple rotation.

Strengths

Excellent damage in both single target and AoE.
Simple rotation that lets you grasp the class quickly and perform well.
AoE crowd control and a group-wide damage immunity for both raid and party play.

Weaknesses

Heavily reliant on its burst cooldown (Metamorphosis). Without it the class damage is mediocre.
Requires constant movement across the battlefield, which can lead to extra damage taken from mobs or bosses.
Very small ability pool. The gameplay may feel boring to some players.

Leveling

From the very first level you already have damage abilities. Your main spells in the early levels are Felblade and Eye Beam.

As you level up you gain new abilities and get closer to the full rotation. We recommend following the ability priority below as they become available:

Mythic+ Tips

1

Use Chaos Nova and Sigil of Misery to interrupt spells and crowd-control enemy groups.

2

You can use Imprison to lock an enemy in a cage and walk past without pulling aggro. It’s very useful in dungeons for skipping difficult packs.

3

Darkness grants the whole group full damage immunity (for a 5-player group). Make sure to use it during heavy boss or mob casts aimed at party members. This spell also lets you skip certain boss mechanics in dungeons, though it requires coordinated teamwork.
