Havoc Demon Hunter PvP Talents and Builds — The War Within (11.1.0)

This build is built around Eye Beam, Demonic, and Soul Rending to increase your damage output and survivability.

While the above table provides a generally accurate overview of the viability of talents, some finer points are discussed in the sections that follow, and we recommend you read those for a deeper understanding.

Some important spells to note in the Demon Hunter talent tree:

• Demonic is a crucial passive for Havoc Demon Hunters. After using Eye Beam you enter Demon Form after it finishes dealing damage. This is important for increasing your overall damage output.
• The Hunt. The Hunt is important as it is the only way we can activate Reaver's Glaive outside of collecting six souls.
• Sigil of Misery allows you to place on the ground and will fear all enemies inside of it after 1 second. This is a great follow-up after a stun or Imprison is on the enemy healer.

Some important spells to note in the Havoc Demon Hunter Talent tree:

• Essence Break increases the damage of your next Chaos Strike and Blade Dance.
• Furious Gaze is great because Eye Beam can no longer be kicked. Unless you get crowd-controlled during the channel, you will get full value out of this talent.
• Cycle of Hatred will continually reduce the cooldown of Eye Beam by 5 seconds every time you use it up to 20 seconds.

Glimpse makes you immune to crowd control and reduces the damage you take until you land when casting Vengeful Retreat. This is a great way to avoid incoming damage when you are the primary focus for the enemy team.

Blood Moon causes Consume Magic to affect all enemies within 8 yards of your target and will generate a Lesser Soul Fragment. This is extremely important as it will help us proc more Reaver's Glaive.

Reverse Magic removes all harmful magical effects from yourself and all nearby allies within 10 yards, and sends them back to their original caster if possible. If you are playing against a team with multiple magical crowd control abilities ( Polymorph, Hammer of Justice), you should be using this talent.

Detainment increases the duration of your Imprison, and that target is immune to damage and healing while it is active. This is great for crowd control on the enemy healer but also be used to peel. You can use Imprison on the enemy's cooldowns to stop the go.
