Tier Sets

The Demon Hunter set is called Husk of the Hypogeal Nemesis and wearing 2-4 provides the following bonuses to your character:

  • (2) Set Bonus: Blade Dance deals 20% increased damage.
  • (4) Set Bonus: Chaos Strike deals 20% increased damage, and has a 25% chance to reset the cooldown of Blade Dance and reduce its Fury cost by 50%.

Both of the Tier Set bonuses provide a simple, yet powerful buff to two of Havocs main core abilities. It is a more single target focussed Tier Set and provides additional uses of Blade Dance due to the chance of the 4-piece proccing from Chaos Strike.

Trinkets

Void Reaper’s Contract

A damage proccing trinket with an additional Execute modifier making it a powerful choice for single target. It gets an additional bonus if paired with its counterpart Void Reaper’s Warp Blade, however it's currently not “BiS” however this is subject to change, making the trinket even more powerful.

Skardyn’s Grace

A on-use trinket granting a high amount of Mastery on a 2 minute cooldown making it perfect for Havoc.

Ara-Kara Sacbrood

Powerful proc trinket granting an impressive main stat buff with a good uptime, making it useful in both single target and AOE.

Embellishments

Currently the go to is playing 2x Crafted weapons with Vivacity Embellishment, however its very likely in the future it could change and you would end up dropping 1x for the Void Reaper’s Warp Blade (2-set).
