How to Play Havoc Demon Hunter in Shadowlands Pre-Patch
Havoc is a rather simple spec to pickup. Our talents offer a variety of playstyles for all types of players, ranging from a standard melee spec of building and spending resources to a talent build utilizing our extreme mobility to buff our damage.
Our core toolkit involves abilities like
,
,
,
and
. Using the talent build suggested later in this guide will have you pressing these core spells mostly on cooldown and even make use of
as an important damaging ability.
Our
allows us to wield two fast melee weapons which fits our fast-paced nature perfectly. Havoc excels at burst AoE and melee cleave, and our single target damage is also decent.
Be sure to check out the
Rotation guide
for in-depth information on how to play Havoc.
How Different Does Havoc Demon Hunter Feel in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch?
The spec will feel basically the same as it has all expansion long. The pre-patch removes Corruption, so there are no more Infinite Stars and stat amp Corruptions. Everything else remains the same, the big game-changer for Havoc is
and we will still have it in pre-patch.

that will cause your next
to summon your inner demon and slam at the end of your
path. While straight forward to use a lot of thought will go into using this talent optimally.
How Do AoE Target Caps Affect Havoc Demon Hunter in Shadowlands Pre-Patch
You will hate that this is a term that is part of our vocabulary now. Unfortunately, AoE Target Caps affect Havoc a lot. The spells affected are:
- 5 target cap
- 8 target cap per tick
- 5 target, this also means that if talented into
, the dot will only go on 5 targets.
- 5 target, this also means that if talented into
, the dot will only go on 5 targets.
- diminishing damage per target, you can read how this works

- soft-cap 20

This is an unfortunate new feature of Shadowlands, but this will mostly affect M+ since boss fights where there are more than 5 targets to hit at a time are few and far between.

How Strong is Havoc Demon Hunter in Shadowlands Pre-Patch?
Damage-wise Havoc will be just fine in pre-patch, as it has been all expansion long. While Corruption was an important part of our damage, it was not as beneficial for Havoc as it was for other specs that were stacking stat amps. We will be doing great damage in M+ with
, but in single target situations Havoc Demon Hunters will fall more toward the middle of the pack.
The biggest change is in our defensive capabilities. Our defensive toolkit received nerfs all around.

The level 35 talent row was nerfed across the board.
passive leech nerfed from 10% to 5%,
leech buffed from 10% to 25%, but as we talked earlier, Meta passive leech was removed so we are at a net -10% leech.
additional damage reduction nerfed from 15% to 10%.
cooldown nerfed from 2min to 3min.
Be sure to keep these nerfs in mind and not be too greedy: a dead DPS does no DPS.

How does the Loss of Corruption Affect Spec Class in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch?
Losing our precious borrowed power will obviously impact our damage a lot, but not as much as the specs who stacked stat amps to reach godly amount of haste or crit. We will remain competitive, as we were the whole expansion before Corruption made its way into the game.

Unbound Chaos still comes out at the start of the Fel Rush not at the end, and I doubt it will be fixed in Shadowlands, they couldn't fix it in BFA so they just removed it.

unpopular opinion...
I personally will pick up Trail of ruin to synergize with first blood. Also pickup unleashed power instead of Fel Eruption as I like how it plays & feels better.

If we're not going with Trail of Ruin and now that Blade Dance/Death Sweep is capped at 5 targets, is Cycle of Hatred any good for cleave now that it affects Eye Beam?

Haven't played a lot of bfa, any reasons why Felblade and Demon Blades are not as popular as before?

As of the latest Beta Build, and appears to be reflected in the GUI here, Unbound Chaos now just increases the damage of your next Fel Rush by 300%. Please excuse me for flexing my big math brain here, but a 300% increase of piss weak is still pretty piss weak.
I immediately swapped out with Glaive Tempest, and it definitely feels like a much needed DPS boost, bonus of it being a moderate AoE, that UBC is now lacking.
