Beast Mastery Hunter Gearing Guide

Season 2 Beast Mastery Hunter Tier Set:

• (2) Set Bonus: Your spells and abilities have a chance to hit a Jackpot! that fires a Barbed Shot at 200% effectiveness. Casting Bestial Wrath always hits a Jackpot!
• (4) Set Bonus: Hitting a Jackpot! infuses your pet with a mutagen, causing its auto-attacks to deal bonus Nature damage to its target and up to 5 enemies within 10 yds for 8 sec. Mutagenic attacks reduce the cooldown of Bestial Wrath by 0.5 sec.

Entirely passive Tier Set boni, effectively granting you a lot more Bestial Wrath uptime, aswell as buffing your pet everytime you use Bestial Wrath.

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+

Good Raid-Trinket options include:

• Eye of Kezan
• Reverb Radio
• House of Cards

The Mythic+ Trinkets you should aim for are:

• Signet of the Priory - Priory
• Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker - Operation Floodgate

On top of that there are some competitive Trinkets from Delves. They are generally good early on in a season.

• Mechano-Core Amplifier
• Suspicious Energy Drink

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

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

The stats we want to apply to our crafted Gear are Critical Strike and Haste.

Alternatively you could Craft a p-0-w-x2 Weapon with Ascendance, 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 Ascendance value of your weapon.

This is recommended if you do not have access to an early Mythic-difficulty weapon.

Puzzling Cartel Chips - Dinars

With this week's reset, and the Turbo-Boost-Event being live, you will be able to receive powerful gear pieces from Raid, or up to Myth-Track Mythic+-Trinkets, by completing the associated weekly quest and earning Puzzling Cartel Chips. The first weekly quest will reward you with 3 Chips, while every following weekly will reward only one Chip. Every Piece of gear is exchanged for 3 Chips, making you able to buy up to three different Items.

Items you should prioritize spending your Puzzling Cartel Chips on are:

The Jastor Diamond - Special effect Rare-Ring from Raid
"Tiny Pal" - Special effect Weapon from Raid
Signet of the Priory - Our best on-use trinket from Mythic+
Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker - Our best passive trinket from Mythic+
Eye of Kezan - Our best passive trinket for prolonged combat, both ST and AOE.
Test Pilot's Go-Pack - Special effect Rare-Cloak from Raid
House of Cards - Good on-use trinket for Mythic+-content. Also highly valuable on Marksman specialisation.

The items shown are somewhat in order of importance. Make sure to sim your character to find the biggest increase, based on your personal gear-status, before taking any choice!

Corruption Helmet Enchant

With this week’s reset, you will be able to revisit “Horrific Visions”, to unlock powerful Helmet enchants, which are purchasable from a Vendor. In order to be able to buy the enchants, you will only be required to complete a small series of quests.

Our bests Corruption is:

-Greater Rune of the Void Ritual for any scenario

Cyrce’s Circlet

Since the Item level of this ring is so high, it will always be worth using it up until you get a high item level replacement Ring. The key is always to sim it!

The gems you want to put in are:

• Stormbringer's Runed Citrine
• Fathomdweller's Runed Citrine
• Legendary Skipper's Citrine

Other options:

• Windsinger's Runed Citrine
• Thunderlord's Crackling Citrine
