Beast Mastery Hunter Midnight Gearing Guide

Midnight Season 1 Tier Set Bonuses:

• (2) Set Bonus: Bestial Wrath’s direct damage is increased by 25%.
• (4) Set Bonus: Bestial Wrath summons 1 Dire Beast for 8 seconds.

Tier Set Discussion:

Very passive Tier Set, increasing the already high damage of Bestial Wrath which can be applied to multiple targets with the new Apex Talet Nature's Ally.

The 4 Set Bonus has some neat interaction with Huntmaster’s Call, making it more reliable to proc, yet it’s still questionable if we even play the Dire Beast side of the Talent Tree.

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+

Even though we do not have a 2 minute cooldown, most of Beast Mastery Hunter’s damage is still tied to Bestial Wrath. On-use trinkets can be used to capitalize on bigger burst windows, especially when paired with damage amps, or external buffs like Power Infusion or Bloodlust. Therefore, it is always best to use an on-use Trinket to sync up with Bestial Wrath whenever possible.

The best combination of Trinkets is Algeth'ar Puzzle Box from Algeth’ar Academy and Radiant Plume from Belo’ren in the March on Quel’Danas.

Recommended Active Trinkets:

• Algeth'ar Puzzle Box - 2 minute on-use Mastery Trinket
• Emberwing Feather - 2 minute on-use Haste Trinket

Recommended Passive Trinkets:

• Radiant Plume - Semi passive Mastery Trinket on a 1 minute cooldown. This automatically syncs up with every second Bestial Wrath.
• Gaze of the Alnseer - Passive Primary stat proc Trinket.
• Vessel of Tortured Souls - Passive stacking Primary stat Trinket. This is mostly competitive on longer fights, that allow you to stack it up. Keep in mind that you need to pick up the Orbs spawned from the Trinket in order to get the buff!
• Solarflare Prism - Critical Strike proc Trinket, that receives a bonus the lower your target it. Adds execute value.

We want to invest our Sparks into an “Embellishment-Set”. In order to take advantage of the set, and therefore the entire Embellishment value, you will need to craft and equip 2 of the pieces at the same time.

The first part is the World Tender's Barkclasp belt and the other parts are the World Tender's Rootslippers boots.

When having the set active, you grant access to a big random secondary stat proc. This Embellishment-Set is the best choice for every scenario.

Both of these items come with pre-selected secondary stats, so you can’t decide the stats yourself.

Note: If you do not have access to a Mythic Quality Weapon from the Raid, you could alternatively craft a Weapon instead. This consumes the same amount of Sparks as 2 non weapon crafted pieces, but is not recommended.
