Tier Sets

Midnight Season 1 Tier Set Bonuses:

  • (2) Set Bonus: Blade Dance damage increased by 15%.
  • (4) Set Bonus: Haste increased by an additional 6% in Metamorphosis.

The 2-set bonus is solid, but the 4-set bonus is not great as Haste is not a very desired stat for Havoc. The tier sets don’t affect Havoc’s gameplay in any meaningful way.

Trinkets

For trinkets, Havoc unfortunately doesn’t have a good selection of choices. Generally, I recommend using an on-use trinket paired with a passive proc trinket.

The best trinkets for Havoc in Midnight Season 1 are:

  • Algeth'ar Puzzle Box - Powerful on-use trinket that grants Mastery. This is a great trinket
  • Gaze Of The Alnseer - Passive proc trinket that grants massive amounts of primary stat, making it the number one choice in all situations.
  • Umbral Plume / Radiant Plume – A passive stat-stick that grants either Critical Strike (Umbral) or Mastery (Radiant).

Alternatives:

  • Solarflare Prism - Passive proc trinket that grants Critical Strike.
  • Emberwing Feather - On-use trinket that grants Haste. Not a great trinket, but is usable until you loot Algeth’ar Puzzle Box.
  • Vessel Of Tortured Souls - Passive trinket that spawns souls on the ground. Collecting a soul grants Intellect for 60 seconds. This trinket is good in theory, but requires the player to actively collect and look out for soul spawns, which can make it worse in practice.

Embellishments

This section will be updated closer to the raid release.

Currently, the choice between embellishments is up in the air and things are subject to change, therefore I don’t recommend crafting anything with Spark Of Radiance before the season begins.

Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt is looking like the best choice, but a lot of embellishments are very close in numbers.

Use Thalassian Missive Of The Peerless for all crafted pieces to ensure it has Critical Strike and Mastery.

Note: Make sure that your crafted weapon is a Warglaive, so that you can use it for all Demon Hunter specs.
