Who are demon hunters? Demon Hunter: Havoc - Now YOU are ready! Learn more about the Artifact's features

Demon Hunters(eng. Demon hunter) - mysterious warriors of darkness who have promised to fight against the forces of the Burning Legion, using their own disgusting abilities. They ritually blind themselves to develop what is known as ghostly vision, which helps them spot demons and the undead with ease. Demon Hunters fight with special weapons enhanced by magic and call upon demonic energy to enhance their combat skills. Although they are considered the most powerful warriors of the night elf people, many do not understand the dedication of the alliance that the demon hunters have made with the darkness.

Later, a group of night elves, inspired by Illidan's example, decided to fight destruction against destruction and agreed to use the powers granted by the demons against themselves. They couldn't gain their powers the same way as Illidan did, but they managed to find other ways. For thousands of years, night elves and even representatives of other peoples entered into an alliance with darkness, introducing demonic essence into their bodies, and fought against demons. While most night elves fear the demon hunters and their alliance with the darkness, they are known to have played a vital role in the fight against the remnants of the Burning Legion.

Capabilities

Demon Hunters have special abilities that help them destroy demons, but the power that fills their bodies allows them to defeat other opponents as well. They refused to wear heavy armor so as not to lose mobility and speed. The demon hunter's appearance becomes more demonic as he grows in power. Physical changes can take various forms, such as black blood, and usually do not interfere with combat. Reaching the pinnacle of his development, the demon hunter turns into a dark version of himself. While demonic energy does not affect a demon hunter's personality or relationships, it does significantly alter his body. Changes may include glowing red eyes, horns on the head, claws on the hands and feet, wings, cloven hooves instead of feet, a spiked tail, dark skin, and others. Because of his appearance, a demon hunter usually becomes an outcast.

They call upon fel to strengthen themselves, and most often use the energy of arcane magic or fire. Shadow energy is rare. The Demon Hunter can channel energy from his body into his own weapon to enhance it. Some of them can even surround their body with a shell of flame. The most skilled demon hunters can unleash the demon within them and temporarily transform into a being of incredible power.

Demon Hunters also possess incredible speed and agility, both of which are honed through training. They can perform double jumps and long somersaults, and can also glide using their wings.

Attitude

Night elves typically avoid demon hunters, refusing to understand the noble sacrifice they made. Because of this, they have to make another sacrifice - to become outcasts among their people. Other races also view demon hunters with prejudice, and they are rarely welcomed into Alliance or Horde settlements. Some villagers or warriors may allow the demon hunter to spend the night at an inn or rest briefly at a tavern, but view them with wariness and are relieved when they leave.

Few people realize that demon hunters are heroes and martyrs. Instead, they are seen as fools toying with dangerous powers and are compared to warlocks. This attitude from society makes many demon hunters bitter, and they become loners. However, some of them are lucky and they find a company that understands and appreciates them.

Dedication

The tradition of becoming a demon hunter dates back to the history of the night elves, and most of them still belong to this people. Some blood elves who sought retribution after the destruction of Quel'Thalas also became demon hunters. Representatives of other nations could become them, but such cases are extremely rare. To become a demon hunter, the hero must find another hunter willing to guide him through many complex rituals. These rituals include capturing a demon and destroying it to place part of the demonic essence inside the candidate's body. Part of the initiation ceremony also involves burning out one's own eyes with a magical blade to permanently trap the demonic essence in one's body. Most demon hunters hide their empty eye sockets behind strips of fabric.In exchange for this sacrifice, the demon hunter gains the ability to see the world without sight - ordinary creatures appear as flickering outlines against a gray and dull background, and demons blaze with bright flames.


Welcome to our game guide demon hunter specialization extermination (DD) in World Of Warcraft Legion 7.1. Here you will learn everything you need to know about playing in this specialization.

Class Overview

Havoc is the newest damage control specialization in World of Warcraft. It was introduced in the Legion pre-patch. This specialization places an emphasis on melee combat. Most abilities use Wrath to work. He is similar to our fellow Vengeance Demon Hunter “Pain.” The main task of this specialization is to spend the accumulated “Wrath” as correctly and in a timely manner as possible and use additional abilities if necessary (more on this in the paragraph with rotation).

Demon hunters have various abilities at their disposal that increase the speed of movement and increase the character's mobility. All this makes this class fast and flexible.

How it works?

“Anger” is your main resource. It is used by offensive abilities such as Chaos Strike and Blade Dance, and generates Demon Bite.

But it also greatly increases mobility, which can be detrimental in some situations. If that doesn't suit you, take Archenemy.

This path allows you to get all the best talent as early as possible. Wrath of the Illidari is very effective in dungeons. It's best to get the Tempter's Suffering before the release of the Emerald Nightmare Mythic mode. This path also eliminates weak and ineffective talents.

Relic Selection

When choosing relics, be guided by the item level and do not pay much attention to the talents enhanced by relics. This happens because the level of the relic affects the level of the artifact itself and the damage from it. If you have two relics of the same level, be guided by the following characteristics:

Versatility increases damage dealt and reduces damage received.

Speed affects many indicators, increasing auto attack speed, reducing GCD cooldown, reducing Blade Dance cooldown / also has a very good effect on damage done, so use both potions at your discretion. Download

Equipment, legendaries and the best in the slot

Best of the slot

This list is not the only correct one, since the game contains items hardened in battle and forged by titans, which are not taken into account here due to their rarity. If you are able to collect these items, the list may change.

Keep in mind that the Unstable Arcane Crystal drops from the World Boss, so it may not always be comparable to the trinkets found in Mythic difficulty dungeons. Therefore, recommendations may differ from average.

Equipment evaluation and comparison

Since the game contains items forged by titans and battle-hardened, it is impossible to compile a complete list of equipment. But they are assessed using weighting coefficients. They may vary depending on the overall level of items, so for a more accurate assessment it is recommended to conduct a simulation for an individual character.
  • Weapon damage per second: 0.84
  • Agility: 1
  • Critical Strike: 0.79
  • Speed: 0.7
  • Versatility: 0.73
  • Mastery: 0.58
If we compare two pairs of boots, we can know for sure which one is better. Filthy Worms Fury of Giants, allowing you to use it more often

Loot competition

Items from the sets: Demon Hunters: Vengeance, Paladins, Priests, Hunters.
Leather armor: Demon Hunters: Vengeance, Druids, Monks, Rogues.

Trait

WoW for Russian players initially existed only in foreign languages, since the native language of the game is English, many terms to this day are formed from the English names of established mechanics and many abilities.

AoE- (from the English Area of ​​Effect) literally - this is the area in which the effect occurs, whether damage is done in this area or healing is performed does not matter. Typically this abbreviation is used as a command to deal damage in a group/raid to multiple targets. It is also used to describe any boss ability with the effect described above.

Buff- positive effect. By default it is displayed to the left of the minimap along its top edge.

Burst— (from the English Burst), an ability that allows you to inflict a large amount of damage in a short time in various ways.

Gir— (from the English Gear) is essentially equipment.

GKD— (short for English Global Cooldown) is the total recovery time of abilities.

Debuff- negative effect. By default it is displayed to the left of the minimap along its bottom edge.

DoT— (from English Damage over Time) is an effect that causes damage over time

DPS— (from the English DPS — Damage per Second) is a value that reflects the damage dealt per second.

Cleve— (from the English Cleave) the ability to inflict damage on secondary targets by inflicting damage on the main target while having no loss (or with minimal loss) on the main one.

Cooldown- (from the English Cooldown, you can often find the abbreviation “CD”, or “kdshki”), the main meaning is the recovery time of the ability. Also often used in relation to bursts or various defensive abilities.

Miles and range zone- (from the English Melee and Ranged, respectively) Miles - means a melee zone, also used to name all classes/specs that deal effective damage directly in this zone. Range (can also be found “range”) usually means a zone that is not a melee zone, and, accordingly, is also used to name all classes/specs that can effectively deal damage from a distance.

Trait— (from the English Trait) the name of the “talents” of your artifact.

Basic Abilities

Offensive Abilities

Talents

General information. As you reach several new levels, new “tiers” of talents will open up for you. In each such line, you can select only one talent at a time. Talents can influence abilities in different ways: add new ones, replace old ones, passively modify various effects and spells. You can change talents while in sanctuaries or in any recreation areas, however, if there are no such places nearby, you can use the “Tome of the Tranquil Mind,” which will allow you to change talents within a minute. Talents cannot be changed in battle. A talent cannot be changed if the talent chosen in this tier is on cooldown; you will first have to wait for it to be restored.

Tier 1. 99 lvl

Azerite traits

A new system of traits on items has been introduced in BFA. The Helm, Shoulders, and Chestplate are now special Azerite-enhanced items that have multiple rings with so-called traits that provide various combat buffs.

In Havoc we have a number of top traits that we will strive for:

Dealing Damage

Basic priorities:

  • If talent is taken Fel Barrage , we use it on cooldown on one target, or hold it a little under AoE.
  • If talent is taken Archenemy , we use it on a priority target, combining every second use with Metamorphosis.
  • Using Metamorphosis on cooldown
  • Use Searing Heat on cooldown
  • We use

Kingdoms will turn to ashes very soon, and we need to prepare for such events. In this article we will try to answer the most popular questions related todata with Demon Hunters.

1) How can I get early access to Demon Hunter?

- Demon Hunter will be available on August 10th on European servers for those who pre-ordered the Legion e-edition. Unfortunately, for those who ordered the collector's boxed edition, you will have to wait until you have the box itself.

2) What do I need to have to create a Demon Hunter?

- First, you must have the Legion add-on attached to your account. Secondly, there must be a level 70+ character on the server where you want to create a Demon Hunter. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the character must be on this server. In addition, you can only create one Demon Hunter per game world.

3) What can you do as a Demon Hunter in the prepatch?

- You can go through the entire Demon Hunter starting chain, which will help you level up to level 100. After this, all the content of the classic game and the prepatch will be available to you. However, until the expansion launches, you will not be able to level up beyond level 100.

4) What talents should I choose for the Demon Hunter in the prepatch?

There will be no problems with this: no talents - no problems! :) The fact is that the Demon Hunter's talents open at levels 99, 100, 102, 104, 106, 108 and 110. And in the prepatch, the maximum level is 100. Therefore, if you were waiting for the Demon Hunter, and your first impressions of him will be quite unpleasant - do not despair! Consider that you are playing as a level 20 character. You will also have an Artifact!

5) How long will the starting quest chain be?

- Personally, I got level 100 without completing the entire chain. If you are a leisurely player and like to read assignments and look around, then the quests will last for several hours. If you want to quickly finish this chain and are in a hurry, then you will spend a little more than an hour.

6) What professions are best for a Demon Hunter?

- I can offer two options. First: take two mining professions, like mining and herbalism. Thanks to high mobility, double jumps and hovering, this class will be much easier, faster and more enjoyable to obtain reagents for sale (there will be no flights in the Legion for a very long time). Second option: take skinning and leatherworking. In addition to the fact that you can create equipment for yourself, leatherworking now equips 5 other classes (yes, leatherworking also has chain mail)! It seems to me that this combination of professions will be very profitable at least at the beginning of the expansion, when the profession items are quite good.

We hope we were able to answer at least some of your questions. If you want to know anything else, write in the comments!

0. Brief guide

This section is intended for those who are just starting out as a Demon Hunter, don't have a goal of raiding on Mythic difficulty, or are simply looking to simplify their playstyle as much as possible and don't want to constantly have to worry about priorities and monitor various effects.

Basics

The number of basic abilities of the Havoc specialization is minimal, but they all help achieve your goals. Additional abilities can be acquired through talents. This state of affairs often shocks newcomers who cannot immediately understand everything. In this section we will look at a simplified build that gives an idea of ​​specialization and allows you to play at an acceptable level.

The main resource for the Havoc specialization is anger. The mechanics of this resource are described in detail in the following sections. Managing anger is quite simple. If there are 40 units. of this resource you can use Chaos Strike. If Chaos Strike critically hits, you gain 20 damage. anger. Try not to forget about this feature and react in time to critical hits.

In addition, the strong offensive cooldown of Metamorphosis buffs Chaos Strike and Blade Dance, turning them into Annihilation and Deadly Sweep. Metamorphosis also increases your speed by 25% and self-healing by 30%. Try to use Metamorphosis in conjunction with other cooldowns. Build up anger before use to deal as much damage as possible in a short period of time.

Talent Selection

The talents listed below provide the simplest possible playstyle and help you understand the basics of the specialization. In most cases, the talent tree provides certain alternatives that are more useful when used correctly, but require experience in the game. If necessary, you can switch to them in the future.

  • Level 99: Fel Blade
  • Level 100: Demonic Blades
  • Level 102: Chaos Cleave
  • Level 104: Soul Rend
  • Level 106: Nemesis
  • Level 108: Demonic Rebirth
  • Level 110: Blades of Chaos (single target) or Fel Barrage (multiple targets).

Characteristics

When using this build, the stat priority is as follows:

  1. Critical hit
  2. Speed
  3. Versatility
  4. Dexterity
  5. Mastery

With the recommended talents, Critical Strike is a more advantageous stat than Haste (at the expense of cooldown resets and the additional Wrath from Demonic Blades).

Basic Rotation

  • Use Fel Dash, being careful not to accumulate 2 charges.
  • Apply Nemesis to the main target.
  • Use the Blades of Chaos. If Metamorphosis is on cooldown, you can hold off on the Blades of Chaos for a bit so that you can use them simultaneously later.
  • Use Fury of the Illidari.
  • Use Fel Barrage on cooldown.
  • Use Piercing Gaze when there are 2 or more targets.
  • Use the Fel Blade if you are 30 or more units short of your maximum anger reserve.
  • Use Metamorphosis to deal heavy damage. Before use, accumulate 80 or more units. anger.
  • Use Deadly Sweep / Blade Dance when there are 3 or more targets and 35 or more HP. anger.
  • Use Annihilation / Chaos Strike when you have 40 or more units. anger.

Keep in mind that in this build, Wrath is generated primarily through Demonic Blades and Fel Blade procs, so there may be some downtime in the rotation. Don't worry, this is normal. In some cases, you will receive a large amount of anger in a short period of time. Be prepared to spend it if the situation allows.

1. Mechanics of the Havoc specialization

  • Demon Hunters use Fury as their main resource, which is spent on offensive abilities such as Chaos Strike and Blade Dance, and generated through Demon Bite.
  • Critical Chaos Strikes restore 50% of the fury spent on them, which adds dynamics to the rotation.
  • Piercing Gaze is an active AoE spell with a short cooldown. It costs Fury and deals chaos damage to all enemies in front of the caster.
  • Fel Rush and Cunning Retreat greatly increase your mobility, allowing you to instantly cover vast distances.
  • Metamorphosis is a powerful offensive cooldown that buffs Fury-spending abilities and grants a speed boost.

2. Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:

  • High sustained damage to one target
  • Exceptional mobility, allowing you to choose an advantageous location in battle
  • Can accumulate resources to deal heavy damage in a short period of time and switch between targets without loss
  • Powerful, flexible cooldowns for a variety of situations

Flaws:

  • Outgoing damage is unreliable because... strongly depends on the chance of landing a critical hit
  • AoE also depends on cooldowns

3. Viability in the current patch

Representatives of the Havoc specialization can still be useful to the raid in diverse battles. They have access to multi-functional talents that allow them to deal damage to one or more targets. In addition, such fighters can inflict heavy damage in a short period of time and have strong defensive abilities, and therefore are quite suitable for mastering the Tomb of Sargeras. Lastly, Havoc is still very good in Mythic dungeons due to its ability to adapt to different modifiers.

4. General information about abilities

"Extermination" is a fundamentally new specialization. In this section, we will look at all the abilities available to her, their mechanics and possible uses. Additionally, we'll talk about cooldowns and key specialization concepts in Legion. If you already have experience playing on test servers and feel confident in battle, you can move on to reading other sections. Otherwise, we do not recommend skipping important basic information.

4.1. Key Resources

The main resource of the Demon Hunter with the Havoc specialization is Rage, which is consumed when using the strongest basic abilities. Wrath is generated by using Demon's Bite or through the Demon Blades talent. Thus, the resource supply is limited by these tools, and not by the rate of passive replenishment. For the most part, Wrath is spent on Chaos Strike to deal AoE damage and Blade Dance/Gaze to deal damage to a single target. Proper management of anger (alternating phases of accumulation and expenditure of resources) ensures smooth rotation.

4.2. Basic Abilities

Listed below are the key abilities that are unlocked when leveling up in Mardum and form the basis of the gameplay.

4.4. Important effects and passive abilities

Havoc Mastery, Mastery: Demonic Presence linearly increases all outgoing Chaos damage by 11% or more. In addition, it gives a similar increase to movement speed. Thus, the Mastery mechanic provides high damage and mobility.

  • Level 99: Blind Fury
  • Level 100: Demonic Appetite
  • Level 102: Chaos Cleave
  • Level 104: Choice
  • Level 106: Nemesis
  • Level 108: Demonic Rebirth
  • Level 110: Demonism

Tier 1 talents (level 99)

Tier 1 talents increase AoE damage.

  • Fel Mastery increases Fel Rush damage by 30% and restores 25 damage. frenzy if Fel Rush hits at least one target.
  • The Fel Blade allows you to dash towards a target and inflict heavy damage from fire magic. Also restores 30 units. anger. Demon's Bite and Demonic Blades have a 20% chance to reset the cooldown of Fel Blade. Range - 15m, cooldown 15 sec.
  • Blind Fury increases the cast time and number of procs of Piercing Gaze by 50%. While Gaze is active, Demon Hunter restores 35 HP. anger per second

New talents from patch 7.2

In patch 7.2, new talents were added, which are unlocked after the player invests 35 points in the development of the artifact. All previous talents received an additional (fourth) rank. After acquiring all the talents, the player can invest points into the infinite talent, Symphony of Legion's Fall.

Representatives of the Havoc specialization should take the Chaotic Attack talent as quickly as possible to increase Chaos Strike and the rate of Wrath replenishment. Other talents can't compete with it in terms of pure damage output.

  1. Fourth Rank Eyes Wide Open
  2. Rank Four Critical Chaos
  3. Rank 4 Demonic Fury
  4. Fourth rank Vision of Chaos
  5. Rank 4 Sharpened Glaives
  6. Rank 4: Contained Anger
  7. Rank Four Unleashed Demons
  8. Rank Four Illidari Lore, Overwhelming Energy, or Fury of the Deceiver (in any order)

Artifact Ability

The Dual Blades talent tree starts with the active ability Fury of the Illidari, which deals chaos damage to three targets in the affected area. Cooldown - 1 minute, does not require resource expenditure. This is a great AoE damage spell. It's worth the cooldown in single-target combat, especially when combined with Impulse. Fury of the Illidari is subsequently upgraded by the gold talent Wrath of the Illidari.

Relic Selection

Like many other classes, when choosing relics, demon hunters are usually guided by the level of the item, which directly affects the level of the weapon. The exception is for relics that improve Critical Chaos. Such relics are comparable in value to 5 units. weapon level, and we recommend using them. In addition, you will need relics that improve:

Netherlight Crucible

Optimizing relics with Netherlight Crucible is directly dependent on the talents improved by those relics. Try to collect three relics for Critical Chaos (this talent must be present on the relic itself or among the tier 3 talents). If Critical Chaos is one of the Tier 3 talents, choose any path that leads to it.

  • If the relic improvesCritical chaos initially, choose Tier 2 and Tier 3 talents based on the list of priorities below.
  • If the relic initially improves another ability, But Critical Chaos is present among Tier 3 talents, choose the development path that leads to Critical Chaos.
  • If the relic does not improve at allCritical Chaos, you should optimize it temporarily and then look for another one.

Tier 2 talents

If the third tier of relic talents does not have Critical Chaos, choose the development path based on the priority of the tier 2 talents. All talents are divided into categories indicating their relative value in item level units.

  1. Use Fel Dash if you have Fel Impulse Mastery (if you have it).
  2. Use Devious Retreat Ready or to trigger Impulse (if you have one).
  3. Use Fel Barrage Pulse (if you have it).
  4. Use Fury of the Illidari, combining it with Impulse (if you have it).
  5. Use Piercing Gaze in combination with Impulse.
  6. Use Blade Dance/Deadly Sweep (against 3 or more targets).
  7. Use Warblade Throw if you have the Bloodletting talent, combining it with Impulse (if you have it).
  8. Use Blade Dance/Deadly Sweep First Blood.
  9. Use Chaos Strike Chaos Cleave).
  10. Use Glaive Throw when there are 2 or more targets.
  11. Use Chaos Strike Demonic Blades.
  12. Use Demon Bite (Demon Blades).

Chaos Cleave increases the priority of Chaos Strike over Blade Dance in combat and 3 or fewer targets. Fel Dash Fel Mastery

Fel Impulse Barrage

Rotation for a build with Demonism and T21

For the Havoc specialization, the rotation for multiple targets depends on the number of targets and the selected talents. It introduces Chaos Cleave, which enhances abilities that require rage costs with Chaos Strike, but if there are a large enough number of targets in the rotation, Piercing Gaze and Blade Dance are used.

  1. Use Fel Rush if you have Fel Mastery when you are 30 or more rage away from maximum, as well as to reset charges and trigger Impulse (if you have one).
  2. Use Treacherous Retreat for 85 or less units. anger if you have the Ready talent or to launch Impulse (if you have it).
  3. Use Fel Barrage (if you have it), combining it with Pulse if possible (if you have it).
  4. Use Fury of the Illidari, combining it with Impulse (if you have it).
  5. Use Piercing Gaze in combination with Impulse.
  6. Use Blade Dance/Deadly Sweep (against 3 or more targets).
  7. Use Warblade Throw if you have the Bloodletting talent, combining it with Impulse (if you have it).
  8. Use Blade Dance/Deadly Swipe on cooldown if you have the First Blood talent.
  9. Use Chaos Strike (for 3 or more targets, if you have the Chaos Cleave talent).
  10. Use Glaive Throw when there are 2 or more targets.
  11. Use Chaos Strike for 70 or more units. anger (by 60 units if you have Demonic Blades.
  12. Use Demon's Bite to generate rage (if you don't have the Demon Blades talent).

It should be noted that the Chaos Cleave talent increases the priority of Chaos Strike compared to Blade Dance in combat and 3 or fewer targets. Fel Rush is used in rotation regardless of the presence of Fel Mastery, but in the presence of this talent its importance increases.

Try to use Fel Barrage as much as possible when there are suitable targets to avoid wasting the reduced cooldown effect. Remember that the recommendations for using Momentum are optional, and if you can't follow them, just stick to the standard rotation.

10. Important notes

10.1. Notes on the Demonism build

In Advanced Mythic dungeons, fragments generated by Overwhelming Energy also buff Beaming Gaze. Additionally, you can use Unleashed Power to control without any loss. This build can be complemented by Raddon's Eye Cascade, which reduces cooldowns and eliminates the need to collect souls.

10.2. Tier 2 talents

10.5. Piercing gaze

11.2. Blades of Chaos

If you took Blades of Chaos as your last tier talent, use them as often as possible and, if possible, combine them with Metamorphosis or Nemesis (if you have this talent). This is not difficult, especially if you have the artifact talent Unleashed Demons.

12. Key concepts when playing as DH Extermination in the Legion

12.1. Abilities and Talents for Fast Travel

Unique to the Havoc specialization are the Fel Rush and Devious Retreat abilities. They increase damage dealt and speed up the process of generating anger (if you have certain talents). These abilities must be used taking into account the specifics of the battle.

Versatility directly affects damage dealt and reduces incoming damage.

Changes in priorities in patch 7.3.5

With the introduction of bonuses from the 7.3.5 sets, most of the damage coming from the Demon Hunter is associated with Chaos magic, so Mastery again becomes a priority stat. The speed bonus is acquired automatically after each Piercing Gaze, which is not very convenient for those who are still wearing the old equipment from the T20 era with critical strike and speed.

18.2.5. Common addons for demon hunters

18.2.5.1. ElvUI

We often use ElvUI for characters of all classes. It changes the interface, adding everything you need for a comfortable game: additional panels, cooldown timers, icons for triggered effects, etc.

18.2.5.2. Addons for boss fights Deadly Boss Mods or Bigwigs

They warn you about bosses' abilities and give useful advice on mechanics. We strongly recommend downloading and installing them. Remember that it is currently more popular than .

18.2.5.3. GTFO

GTFO is a lightweight addon that warns you when you are standing in the wrong place or making some other mistake. Very useful even if you already have a raid addon like DBM.

18.2.5.4. Parrot or Mik's Scrolling Battle Text

Parrot and Mik's Scrolling Battle Text are addons with flexible settings that display floating combat text (incoming healing and damage, abilities used, etc.) Work great with default settings.

18.2.5. Recount / Skada

18.2.5.6. Grid and GridClickSets (optional)

ElvUI includes some good raid frames. Grid and GridClickSets are only used if you want to remove debuffs from raid or group members by right-clicking on a player's portrait in raid frames. If you install Grid, don't forget about GridStatusRaidDebuff.

18.2.5.7. Weak Auras

WeakAuras is a very useful addon that allows you to visualize buff/debuff effects and cooldowns. The addon has flexible settings and allows you to more effectively use the features of a particular class. You can also use it for other purposes.

A useful configuration can be downloaded. She creates a frenzy bar that dynamically changes when affected by Metamorphoses

19.1. Accessories

The list compares items of equal level (945), however due to scaling, priorities may change. The simulation for the listed accessories is as follows:

Remember that one of the slots is reserved for the Pantheon accessory. The second one must be chosen from what you have. Options marked (10) are also Pantheon accessories, and their value depends on whether there are other players in your raid with such accessories. The overall value is determined relative to the Cradle of Suffering.

The two-piece bonus synergizes well with the legendary Rage of Behemoths ring. It provides a net increase of 10% and allows you to use Chaos Strike more often. The four-piece bonus gives Chaos Strike an additional boost, allowing you to regenerate spent Wrath more often and make better use of talents like Chaos Cleave.
