Havoc Demon Hunter rotation guide & helper

Play Havoc Demon Hunter like a skilled player: the current priority, cooldowns that line up, AoE when it pays and kicks on the casts that matter.

Updated for patch 12.1.5 · World of Warcraft: Midnight · Windows
Guide

How Havoc plays.

Eye Beam, Essence Break and The Hunt go out on cooldown. Chaos Strike spends your Fury and Blade Dance goes out between them. In Metamorphosis, Death Sweep and Annihilation go out, and with Fel-Scarred each one goes out first for Demonsurge.

One target

  1. Metamorphosis and The Hunt.
  2. Essence Break when Demonsurge is ready, then Death Sweep and Annihilation inside it.
  3. Abyssal Gaze and Eye Beam on cooldown.
  4. Essence Break when Eye Beam is more than 4 s away.
  5. Death Sweep or Blade Dance.
  6. Annihilation or Chaos Strike.
  7. Felblade, Immolation Aura and Throw Glaive as fillers.

Packs

  • Pack lines start at 2 targets (changeable).
  • Immolation Aura goes out in packs with A Fire Inside or Burning Wound, and isn't left sitting at 2 charges.
  • With Aldrachi Reaver, Annihilation goes out on Rending Strike in packs.

Good to know

  • Both hero trees work: Fel-Scarred (Demonsurge) and Aldrachi Reaver (Reaver's Glaive).
  • Metamorphosis lands where you stand - no mouse needed.
  • Vengeful Retreat is yours: it vaults you out of melee.
What it does for you

Built for Havoc.

01

Cooldowns that line up

Your Havoc cooldowns go when the priority says so, not when a timer runs out.

02

AoE when it pays

Area spells only once enough enemies are around you. You pick the number.

03

Kicks and stuns

Interrupts on the casts that matter, at the last safe moment, and no stuns on mobs that can't be stunned.

04

Immunity learning

It learns which mobs shrug off your spells and stops casting them there.

05

You stay in control

Every spell, threshold and line of the priority is yours to change. One switch turns it off.

In the rotation

Havoc spells it uses.

Lines for spells you don't have are skipped, so it follows your talents.
