Aldrachi Reaver Havoc Demon Hunter Review
Aldrachi Reaver Demon Hunter is the first tree revealed of the two that Havoc and Vengeance will share access to. At its core, Aldrachi Reaver is built around, using Soul Fragments as a resource to generate uses of as a damage window cooldown. Much of the tree beyond the addition of is generic and makes little change to Havoc Demon Hunter's current playstyle. That is, except for adding another damage amp cooldown window which will have to be managed and overlapped with the currently crowded windows involving Inertia, Initiative, Eye Beam, and Essence Break. Continuing to line these up in a cycle may prove to be difficult and frustrating with an RNG cooldown due to how Havoc generates souls.
Art of the Glaive
Consuming 3 Soul Fragments allows you to cast Reaver's Glaive.
Reaver's Glaive (Replaces Throw Glaive) Throw a glaive enhanced with the essence of consumed souls at your target, dealing physical damage and ricocheting to 2 additional targets for additional damage.
Beings a well-practiced pattern of glaivework, enhancing your next Chaos Strike and Blade Dance.
