Beast Mastery Hunter Gearing Guide

Midnight Prepatch Tier Set Bonuses:

• (2) Set Bonus: Damage done increased by 6%.
• (4) Set Bonus: Damage done increased by 10%.

These bonuses replace the current Tier Set from The War Within Season 3, and will be used until we get access to the new Midnight Season 1 Tier Set.

You should still prioritize the gear you use by running a sim for your character, but the lists below will give you a good idea of what items are considered good for Beast Mastery Hunter, and help you target the right content for each piece of loot.

• Overall
• Raiding
• Mythic+

Our best Trinket combination for Pack Leader is 2 passive Trinkets: Astral Antenna (from Loom’ithar in Manaforge Omega), and Ara-Kara Sacbrood (from Ara-Kara, City of Echoes).

Our best Trinket combination for Ranger is 2 active Trinkets: Unyielding Netherprism (from Fractillus in Manaforge Omega), and Araz's Ritual Forge (from Forgeweaver Araz in Manaforge Omega). If you don’t want to play double on-use Trinkets, replace Araz's Ritual Forge with another good passive Trinket like Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker or Astral Antenna.

Other good trinkets from Mythic+ include:

• Signet Of The Priory - Priory of the Sacred Flame
• Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker - Operation Floodgate
• Ara-Kara Sacbrood - Ara-Kara, City of Echoes

Other good trinkets from Raid include:

• Araz's Ritual Forge - Forgeweaver Araz

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

On Dark Ranger we want two pieces of gear with the Duskthread Lining Embellishment, which increases versatility when above 80% HP.

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

The stats we want to apply to our crafted Gear are:

• Haste and Mastery (Pack Leader)
• Haste and Versatility (Dark Ranger)

Alternatively you could Craft a P.0.W. x2 with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension, 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 Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension value of your weapon.

This is a decent alternative during early Season, if you do not have access to an early Mythic-difficulty weapon.

Puzzling Cartel Chips

With the Server Reset on October 21st, players will be able to obtain up to 9 Puzzling Cartel Chips across several weeks, in order to buy up to 3 items from the Manaforge Omega raid. These items include Trinkets, Weapons and special effect items.

You should spend these Chips on the following Items, listed from most to least important:

• Unyielding Netherprism (Dark Ranger)
• Interloper's Chain Boots
• Astral Antenna (Pack Leader)
• Araz's Ritual Forge (Dark Ranger)
• Ara-Kara Sacbrood (Pack Leader)
• Band Of The Shattered Soul

When choosing an item, always take into consideration what loot you have or will have access to, so you don’t waste your Dinars. In general, items from Mythic+ content can be difficult to come across on Mythic track, so choosing one of them can be of great value.

Reshii Wraps

Reshii Wraps is a new Cloak released in Patch 11.2 and will be the only cloak you use (and the only one that can drop from any content in Season 3). You gain access to it via a quest chain and completing chapter 3 of the main patch storyline.

The Reshii Wraps are upgradable via Ethereal Strands and can have secondary stats of your choice added to it.

To add a secondary stat to the Reshii Wraps you use a Fiber in the Fiber Socket of the Cloak. The highest quality version of the Fibers requires a work-order to a Tailor.

When picking a Fiber, I strongly recommend simming your character for the best stat for your current gear and intended content. If you just want a quick recommendation for which Reshii Fiber to use, then use Pure Chronomatic Fiber (Haste).
