Welcome to our Gear and BiS Page for Beast Mastery Hunter forSeason 4. Check this page to learn everythingyou need to know about gearing a Beast Mastery Hunter, including theBiS Gear from allsources, Raiding, and Mythic+, information on the best Trinkets, Tier Sets, andmuch more.

For discussion and information on Stats specifically, check out our Stats page below.

Season 4 offers a way to target specific, powerful items with the new Antique Bronze Bullion. Here are the best items to spend your Bullionson in Dragonflight Season 4 as a Beast Mastery Hunter

1. Neltharax, Enemy of the Sky — This weapon has a +7 iLvl advantageover all other weapons. Its passive effect does not hurt either.
2. A few options. I recommend sorting your Trinkets out (although Bullions will not necessarily be enough here) before moving further down the list.
   • Whispering Incarnate Icon (Icon)/ Ominous Chromatic Essence (OCE) —Optimal for all scenarios. Both of these Trinkets are close to equal, and theirrelative balance will change depending on your current secondary statconfiguration, and, most importantly, how many of your Allies also have theTrinket. There really is no best individual option of these.
   • Controlled Current Technique — Optimal for any sort of AoE.Buy this first for Mythic+.
   • Manic Grieftorch — This Trinket requires some of your partymembers to die to be optimal. A death or two will be enough to pushthis Trinket ahead of all other Trinkets except forIcon/OCE for single-target. With enough deaths, ofcourse, this Trinket can become completely unbeatable. It can also be great forhigh Mythic+ when used for priority damage.
3. Seal of Diurna's Chosen — This Ring is not that special,but it is stronger than all other Rings, and very hotly contested. You mightnot want to spend a Bullion on this until you have a socket to put in it. Hunters can proc it via our Tindral's Fowl Fantasia Head Enchant, and our Completely Safe Rockets Weapon Enchant.
4. Voice of the Silent Star — Around ~0.7% better than all otherCloaks, but it has no Stamina. If you are doing high Mythic+ wheresurvivability is paramount, you may want to skip this item entirely.
5. At this point, consider Seal of Filial Duty for the extra +7 iLvl (if you have a socket prepared) and the Absorb shield.
6. Ashes of the Embersoul is the best burst trinket in the game, and canbe good for niche scenarios where short-term burst is the primary concern, evenabove overall DPS.

You will be able to upgrade your items via Crests such as Aspect's Awakened Crest. Once you have upgraded a slot to a certain itemlevel, upgrading other items of that slot to that item level is free.

When you upgrade with Crests, you should think of it as upgrading slots and not items.

Additionally, since Crests are a limited resource, you will want to obtainthe highest item-level possible before upgrading a given slot,as this means you will spend fewer Crests on that slot in total. If you are atall capable of doing a +9 Dungeon, for example, it would be a VERY bad idea toupgrade an item from a +8 Dungeon.

Below is the slot priority you should upgrade your items in.

1. Weapons
2. Trinkets
3. Helm/Chest/Legs
4. Shoulders/Gloves/Belt/Boots
5. Rings and Necks
6. Cloaks and Bracers

Note that exceptions are possible, such as special items that have more iLvlscaling than their slot would imply. Think of things like Voice of the Silent Star and Seal of Diurna's Chosen.

Throughout this page, we will regularly refer to the importance of simmingyourself on Raidbots, as it is an indispensable aspect of optimizing your character.

While we do offer generic sim charts for Trinkets, this should not be areplacement for simming yourself, at least not if you want to minmax sub-1%!

If you are new to simming and Raidbots, check out our detailed guide below.

The Tier Set is comprised of 5 items, all carrying the Stormwing Harrier's moniker.Unique DPS bonuses are unlocked when wearing 2, and 4 pieces from the set:

• 2 pieces: Hunter Beast Mastery 10.2 Class Set 2pc causes Bestial Wrath to summon a Dire Beast, with all associatedeffects therefore, including Dire Command. Can only be triggered onceevery 15 seconds.
• 4 pieces: Hunter Beast Mastery 10.2 Class Set 4pc causes your mostrecent Dire Beast summon to also obey your Kill Command, and benefit from your Beast Cleave, at 30% reduced damage.

The Tier Set Bonus is absolutely mandatory for competitive play, and youshould prioritize obtaining it. You can use theRevival Catalyst to convert regular items (from Mythic+, forexample) into Tier Items.

You only need 4 pieces out of 5 to get both set bonuses. We recommend youget all items except for the Shoulders, due to their Versatility. Check out the BiS List for more information.

There are a number of strong options available for Beast Mastery Hunter in Season 4coming from a variety of different sources. Some relevant ones to look for inorderof strength are:

Trinket	Note
Whispering Incarnate Icon (Icon)/ Ominous Chromatic Essence (OCE)	Extremely powerful statstick Trinkets. Best for all situations. TheseTrinkets require Allies to also be using them for maximal effect, but this isnotrequired for them to be BiS. Both are excellent, with Icon providing a bit moreof its stat but without the ability to change it, and OCE providing fewerstats, but allows you to pick the one you want. Depending on your current stat configuration, either one can be best.
Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows	The best on-use Trinket for single-target. It is a little annoying toobtain, as you only have one chance from the last boss of HardmodeDawn of the Infinite each week. You will need to do this withoutDeaths to get it at the max 528 iLvl, otherwise it maxes out at 522.
Controlled Current Technique	This Trinket's attack speed bonus affects our pets, which means it feeds Beast Cleave damage directly. It is our best Trinket for all things AoEand Mythic+, alongside OCE/Icon.
Witherbark's Branch	This (now unobtainable) Season 4 Trinket can be BiS alongside Icon/OCE withperfect play and at 489 Item Level. If you have it, great. If you do not, Iwould not worry too much about it, as it is just barely ahead of something likeMirror.
Manic Grieftorch	If you are in a death-prone group, this Trinket can quickly become BiS. Even without this, it offers fantastic priority target damage in Mythic+.

These are generic simulations from Bloodmallet, giving you a rough overview of strong Beast Mastery Hunter Trinkets.It is not a replacement for simming yourself, but can still offer a quick reference point.
