FWIW, the legendary is Anger of the Half-Giants, not Angers. :)

For single target, you show Demon Blades selected, yet in your commentary of Demon Blades, you state "This talent had his moment in the sun previously in Legion due to its synergy with Crit heavy builds and legendary items but, with Battle for Azeroth, this talent will need quite a large buff in order to be competitive with the other options.".
Should it be taken or not? I have seen some sims showing Immolation Aura performing better. Cheers.

Does taking Blind Fury
And then Soul Rending
Following with Cycle of Hatred
And finally Demonic Origin
Be a good choices? Or just theoretically good?

Comment by Valrenar

You absolutely need demonic if you pick fel barrage. Especially with furious gaze talents. Ability gets damage boosted by haste (more bombs with same damage per bomb).

Comment by Roxuro

Unbound Chaos feels awfully overtuned during leveling right now. Is it the same in endgame? It should be changed as well, using fel rush in melee range is impractical. Only effectvie the moment mobs are pulled.

Comment by Sevlick99

Will you do guide for current 9.0.2? There is so huge nerf of DH... :(

Comment by Nzall

Does Solitude still exist? I can't find it in the talent calculator.

Comment by UltimateAP

Hi,

Can someone please explain why Blade dance is eliminated from the rotation if i use the talent "Cycle of hatred". Since that doesnt seems to be the case if im looking on the "Rotation and priority" -page (https://www.wowhead.com/havoc-demon-hunter-rotation-guide).

What do i miss? :)

Thanks in advance

Comment by Juniperxd

So, for Master of the Glaive, is it a snare? or a slow? How does one snare for only 50%?

Comment by Richwarf

missing T detected, under Tier 6 Talents (Level 45) for Havoc DH.

" Fel Eruption: is still a decent talen -- "

hope this bugs someone else now I pointed it out, your welcome :)

Comment by Gammageddeon

I think it's important to mention that while FB/DB is a great talent combo, when you use the BIS double legendary Agony Gaze and Darkglare, you should use the standard build. This obviously gives you better timing with Eye Beam and can lead to nearly 100% uptime of Sinful Brand if you're lucky.

Comment by BladeKnight1120

Seems pretty close to what I was using on the Beta so that's pleasing to see. With the exception of Demon Blades of course. I'll never take that talent.

Comment by TerribleTurnip

Hate to see momentum build being used in all scenarios again I've never enjoyed the build and wish it wasn't always bis.

Comment by Pinfeldorf

It's probably worth mentioning, at the very least, what legendary and covenant these guides are meant to be using. I have to assume Darkglare for the single target build, and Fel Bombardment for the aoe build?

Comment by ShrikeKhadgar

What is the best build for a Tyranical Mythic+ week for Havoc?
Would it be Glaive Tempest or the Single Target Raid build?

Comment by DCCXVIII

I do not care if momentum build is BiS. I will never use it. Momentum build is trash gameplay.

Comment by Apestomped

any way to fix the talent builds and stuff? all broken

Comment by Kretyn

I've found a variation of the single target raid build that does just as much aoe damage as the Throw Glaive talent build (the supposed "best" one to take), and also does about 10k more damage in single target than the Throw Glaive build. Not to mention that the TG build is just incredibly clunky and not fun to play at all.
Bring back Sinful Brand please :(

Comment by Taurnok

I think the 'spread eagle' build is the way to go in M+. Momentum for huge burst damage with glaive tempest. Still get to spread burning wound for consistent immo damage with throw glaive, but don't have to deal with the clunky furious throw.

If we had just 2 more points, I think Havoc would be perfect. Being able to pick up cycle of hatred and shattered destiny would be *chef's kiss*.

Comment by Lisalv

The current guide mentions that Raid ST Inertia takes Essence Break, but if you use the link from the very top of the page (The list of Import codes), it gives you a build that doesn't include Essence Break. Should probably fix that.

Comment by Taurnok

"Blind Fury is taken over Dancing with Fate for higher AoE damage, however you can talent Dancing With Fate for more priority/single target."

If anyone is copying the build over, make sure you switch out to Dancing with Fate. NO ONE is taking Blind Fury. The copy build should default to this.

Comment by Athul

hmm i was looking for a build that steers away from using mobility as a part of their rotation. i miss the bfa days ngl, i havent rly had fun with dh since. there is so much frontals, stack , spread and so on mechanics that just makes it horrible to be jumping around mid fight. i miss mobility being mobility and nothing else. i didnt like momentum or that type of gameplay back then and i dont like it now. so from a DH main trough bfa to never rly wanting to play it , but i try make it somewhat oke ish geared in case we finally get to play normally again.

What's the reason behind not taking Looks Can Kill and Isolated Prey for 100% Eye Beam and Immolation Aura crit chance?

Comment by Cross86

Where is the Raid aoe Talent tree? Is it just the Mythic dungeon with cleave that's our aoe for raid too?

Comment by Insainity

Thank you so much for this <333

Comment by crystalsinger

Sadly, these builds have been overridden by the most recent changes over the last few weeks. I've had to go to Icy Veins to get valid import codes.

Comment by Neralus

You did the same thing again...
You switched the builds too early, did so from 11.2.7 to prepatch and now its already midnight builds.
And even worst you have a separated page for prepatch and even that changed.
Can't be that hard can it ?
