What Weapon Route Should Havoc DH Follow in Midnight Season 1?
Havoc’s endgame setup uses a split weapon route. Your ideal raid setup is
Lightless Lament in main hand and
Emblazoned Sunglaive in off hand,
while Mythic+ gives you a very strong practical stopgap in
Soulblight Cleaver.
If you want the strongest early craft, Icy Veins is clear: craft
Spellbreaker’s Warglaive first.
Best raid main hand
Lightless Lament is the main raid chase weapon and one of your biggest long-term value targets.
Best Mythic+ fallback
Soulblight Cleaver is the cleanest practical weapon route if your raid drops are delayed.
Best first craft
Spellbreaker’s Warglaive is your non-negotiable first crafted weapon if you want the strongest early Havoc spike.
Overall BiS Gear for Havoc Demon Hunter in Midnight Season 1
This is your full endgame target setup. It combines raid, Mythic+, crafted, and catalyst routes into one final gear plan,
so use it as your long-term goal rather than your weekly replacement list.
Best Overall Build Logic
Havoc’s final setup is a mixed route: raid gives you your biggest weapon and passive trinket spikes,
Mythic+ fills multiple high-value accessory and armor slots, and crafted pieces stabilize awkward gaps without slowing your core chase items.
What Should I Craft First?
Craft your weapon first
Spellbreaker’s Warglaive is your first mandatory craft. Icy Veins is explicit here: weapon first, no debate.
Safe cloak craft second
Adherent’s Silken Shroud with Arcanoweave Lining is the cleanest standard second craft for stable endgame routing.
Bracers after cloak
Silvermoon Agent’s Deflectors with Arcanoweave Lining are the standard follow-up craft once your weapon and main off-piece are handled.
Early min-max craft route
If you are optimizing crests hard at the very start of the season, Icy Veins suggests a more aggressive path:
Spellbreaker’s Warglaive first, then a higher-budget craft like
Silvermoon Agent’s Leggings instead of rushing cloak.
