Gear, Enchants & Consumables

Gear Guidelines

  • Use trinkets that align with Eye Beam or Meta windows.

Rotation & Playstyle

Single‑Target Priority

  1. Keep Immolation Aura active.
  2. Use Eye Beam on cooldown.
  3. Chaos Strike as Fury spender.
  4. Blade Dance for cleave/ST weaving.
  5. Use Metamorphosis on cooldown or for priority targets.

AoE / Mythic+ Priority

  1. Immolation Aura on cooldown.
  2. Eye Beam on every pack.
  3. Unbound Chaos → Fel Rush for empowered AoE.
  4. Blade Dance for cleave.
  5. Chaos Strike for Fury dumping.

Havoc excels at mobility‑driven burst windows. Keep Immolation Aura rolling, use Eye Beam aggressively, and weave Fel Rush damage with Unbound Chaos for maximum AoE.
