Stat Priority

Agility

Primary stat — always prioritize item level. Higher ilvl means more Agility.

Critical Strike

Best secondary stat. Chaos Strike refunds Fury on crit, and Know Your Enemy talent provides additional scaling.

Mastery

Increases Chaos damage dealt via Mastery: Demonic Presence. Strong for both single-target and AoE content.

Haste

Increases attack speed, reduces GCD, and reduces cooldown of most rotational abilities. Solid value overall.

Versatility

Flat damage increase and damage reduction. Lowest priority DPS stat but provides survivability.

Rotation Priority

Metamorphosis

Use on pull and on cooldown. Provides Haste and unlocks empowered abilities. Line up with raid burst windows.

The Hunt

Use on cooldown for massive burst damage. Charges to the target and deals heavy damage to all enemies in the path.

Essence Break

Use before Chaos Strike and Blade Dance for the damage amplification debuff. Key burst setup ability.

Eye Beam

Use on cooldown. Strong for both ST and AoE. Procs Furious Gaze for Haste buff.

Blade Dance

Use on cooldown in AoE. Use during Essence Break window for maximum damage in ST.

Glaive Tempest

Use on cooldown for sustained AoE/ST damage. Excellent Fury-to-damage ratio.

Chaos Strike

Primary Fury spender. Refunds Fury on critical strikes. Use as your main filler between cooldowns.

Demon's Bite

Fury generator. Use when you need Fury to cast Chaos Strike or other spenders.

Immolation Aura

Use on cooldown for passive Fury generation and AoE damage.
