Races & Racials
Night Elf is the most popular race for Havoc Demon Hunter at 90%, followed by Void Elf (8%) and Blood Elf (2%).
Night Elf at 90% usage is a clear favorite, largely thanks to Shadowmeld, which enters stealth to drop combat.
Void Elf players bring Spatial Rift, which tears a rift you can teleport through for creative repositioning.

The preferred secondary stats are Mastery and Versatility, with Haste as a third option. Since the item level of PvP gear scales in PvP, the real gearing decision comes down to picking the right items for these stats.

Top players are doubling up on Arcanoweave Lining for both embellishment slots.
The most popular bloodstone is Enduring Heliotrope (96%), and the most common secondary gem is Flawless Versatile Amethyst (69%).
