Embellishments

The best Embellishment for raid is the combination of Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension which goes on weapons, combined with its effect increase from the Writhing Armor Banding, which goes on any Armor piece.

The Best Embellishment for Mythic+ is 2x Dawnthread Lining’s as Ascension loses value in AoE situations compared to the massive crit bonus of Dawnthread.

Once Best in Slot gear has been acquired it’s likely to see a switch to 2x Dawnthread as your best in slot Embellishments even in a raid environment so make sure to sim yourself to see your best gain.

After you’ve gotten your embellishment crafts you can use the remaining Spark of Omens you gather to fill holes in your gear.

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 Precise Fiber (Critical Strike).

To find out more about the Reshii Wraps, you can read the Method Reshii Wraps Overview Guide.

Best D.I.S.C Belt & Miniature Titan Disc Effects

Recommended Titan Discs for Havoc Demon Hunter:

I advise to run Charged Bolts (ST proc) in all scenarios, the only scenario where Electric Current (The mastery proc) would beat out Charged bolts is a council fight with constant uptime on multiple targets which we do not have in the current patch.

For more information about unlocking the DISC belt and the different Miniature Titan Disc effects available, check out Method's D.I.S.C Belt Guide.

With the tuning of the effects going live at the reset 26/6 Charged Bolts have been massively nerfed and the crit effect Critical Chain has been buffed to a level where that will now be superior and recommended to use in all PvE content.
