Hello! I'm a dedicated Demon Hunter player who loves Havoc and sticks with it every season, regardless of changes. I've achieved Cutting Edge in BFA on my Havoc Demon Hunter, reached a 2400 rating in arena, and earned the Dreaming Hero title in Season 3 of Dragonflight. After 5 years of playing Havoc, I've gathered a wealth of knowledge that I'm excited to share with you to help you improve your gameplay

    I have added all time stamps for video in description. I've read some of the other feedback as well. I will make a Part 2 with clips and advanced Mythic plus concepts. Thanks so much for helping me make this better already!
  • @Csbwhen
    Hey guys! Highlighting the most important part of this video and the biggest change you could make. Replacing throw glaive with blade dance. 24:19
  • @arkade-
    Amazing video, appreciate all the information given. This will go a long way, now just gotta practice the rotations.
  • @Hib.wow24
    Man best video I have found. I am mailing DH for the first time in S4 and going into TWW. This has been so helpful so thank you.
  • @dyzeprod
    Good video, man. It's quite informative and you explained it very well. I also play as main dh, something dedicated, and there were certain tips that I didn't know and that I will put to the test. I invite you to continue uploading this type of content, it is excellent. Thank you.🐐
  • @22h79x
    Good job man, as a Vengeance player I found this very informative! A little advice that I could give you for your videos is to include the time codes for each part that you detail. So we can go back and look at the parts we need without trying to find the exact moment. If you need more advice, I'll be happy to give you more! Hope to see more content from you in the future.
  • @gentle_singularity
    Super informative. Here I was thinking EB was easy lol. Sadly I'm dropping my DH because the Hero talents look really meh.
  • @frodasdenoune230
    Hi great video, what are the illusions of your weapons called at the very beginning of the video?
  • @demonking363
    "if you want to be rank 1 in mythic + play a mage" ~Wise Words
  • @Moonwired
    What does make sure you hit your last slashes of blade dance mean? What makes you miss it?
  • @turtlehd4839
    you're wrong about throw glaive. there are certain scenarios where you have to use it, for example if your hunt is 3 sec on cd, blade dance is on cd, and you need to use the hunt immediately, you use throw glaive if you have one stack ready. OR if you want to pull or dot a certain mob that is more than 30 yards away. also you want to buff sigil of flame with inertia in AOE.
  • @ihateurextoo3444
    does haste affect glaive tempest damage? Increasing tick rate etc
  • @Kaos.the.1st
    Feedback: put timestamps in the description so we can jump around it come back to go over something specific.
  • @iano5
    My question is: how do stats come into play here? Because for me 58 crit 18 haste 85 mastery and 15 vers seem nice, but I saw you have more vers, less crit and mastery and more haste also. I stack more crit for augury, seems like it hits harder idk why, last season I kept crit 50 and that was it
  • @cbodnar1911
    Why do you use Augury or just because of raiding?
  • @n-hunter1349
    If you can make a non-move build guide that would be really helpful to the ppl who don't like to use fel rush to dash around 😂
  • @micheleborro3287
    Its possible the macro for darkeness dont work i copy it and when i pres it only say cast darkness xD
  • @Merasukyura
    Make Eyebeam great again. To me it's so sad that Eybeam itlself got so useless its only purpose nowadays is to go demon form, get haste buff and proccing Fel Dev (which deals more dmg than Eyebeam :((( ) . Isnt Eyebeam legit the Demonhunter Signitarue Ability.... When i think about DH the first thing that comes to my mind is EYEBEAM! I think they should make "Looks can Kill" baseline again and also i remember the Legion Legendary which reduced Eye Beams Cooldown for each enemy hit this was so much fun. They should make this a Talent in the future
