Devourer Demon Hunter

Mirrors the current rank-1 Sinister Single parse — every slot is what the best Devourer Demon Hunter actually wears.

Midnight Season 2 · Fel-Scarred · updated 2026-08-05

How it plays

• Cull is both what you press most and where the damage comes from: 30% of it, at roughly 9 casts a minute.

Measured on the reference parse below, not a description of the spec — so it changes when the tuning does.

Stat priority

Critical Strike > Mastery > Haste > Versatility

These are not weights pulled from a spreadsheet — they are the live ratings on the reference character this build is taken from, so the order reflects what the best-performing Devourer Demon Hunter is actually stacking right now.

Source: Xivuarath — the log. Rank 1 Devourer Demon Hunter on Sinister Single (Dummy Dome), avg ilvl 335. The parse's mainhand could not be equipped by this spec, so the list uses the correct weapon type.

Talent build

Laid out exactly as the in-game talent UI draws it, hero tree Fel-Scarred. Lit nodes and gold lines are the path this build takes; everything dimmed was passed over. Hover any node for what it does.

Rotation

Souls in, damage out. Reap harvests, Consume and Devour spend, and Void Metamorphosis is the window it is all pointed at.

Openers

Single target

1. Soul Immolation on the target.
2. Reap to bank souls.
3. Metamorphosis, then The Hunt.
4. Voidblade and Pierce the Veil through the window.

How much damage, and where

The same best-in-slot profile below, simulated across four fights on our own SimulationCraft build. A spec's number moves with the fight — and each card opens its full report: DPS timeline, buffs, and a Copy-SimC button to reproduce it in Raidbots. Compare every spec →

Where the damage comes from

Measured on the reference log — a 300-second single-target parse. Worth comparing against the rotation above: the button you press most is rarely the one doing the most.

Where to spend bonus rolls as Devourer Demon Hunter

A Voidcore pays out an item every time — the question is only whether it is one you wanted. For this build, in order:

Roll Vashnik the Malignant — 2 of its 4 drops are on your list

50% of every roll here lands something on the list. In The Venomous Abyss, it owes you chest and ring 2.

Then Entombed Sentinels — 2 of its 4 drops are on your list

50% of every roll here lands something on the list. In The Venomous Abyss, it owes you neck and hands.

The general principles behind this — knockout protection, why finishing one boss beats spreading rolls, and the crests a roll quietly costs you — are in the bonus roll guide.

Week-by-week route

1. Pre-season: the campaign, a world tour of Mythic 0s for a 292 loadout, and the weekly Spark quest. No Myth crests exist yet — bank the Spark.
2. Week 1: farm +10 keys to a full Hero 3/6 (311) loadout and fill the vault. You open the week holding two full Sparks, so craft Adherent's Silken Shroud and Silvermoon Agent's Utility Belt back to back if your Myth crests cover both infusions. Every Hero crest goes into lifting pieces toward 6/6 (321).
3. Week 2: first Voidcore — roll Vashnik the Malignant, where 2 of 4 drops are on this list. Catalyse the set slots for the 4-set. No new Spark this week — the next whole one banks in Week 3.
4. Weeks 3–6: one Voidcore a week down the order above — finish a boss before starting the next. Keep spending Hero crests; every slot should sit at 321 by about Week 6.
5. Week 7 onward: two Voidcores a week (the vault and Orin Straylight). Roll Myth-track bases in the set slots, re-catalyse them, and take each to 6/6 for 80 Myth and 20 Hero crests.
6. Late season: Gaze of the Coiled Watcher, Jan'thrazet, the Soul Fang and Baleful Hexblade come from the last two bosses at Myth 9 (344). Secure the base items early — that is the only place the extra three ranks exist.

The fast variant

Same stat priority, 4 slots moved. Pathfinder builds the list above for raw power and does not care how many bosses that takes; Slate prices the route as well, and takes an equal-strength item from a boss you are already farming over one that sends you somewhere new. It visits 3 places against the strongest list's 4, at 337 average item level against 335.

• Wrist — Aetherlume Bands instead of Restless Spirit Shackles
• Waist — Sash of the Forlorn Vessel instead of Silvermoon Agent's Utility Belt
