Log sample
Overview
Devourer is Demon Hunter's ranged Intellect spec — a hybrid caster that generates Fury and Soul Fragments with Consume and Void Ray, then transforms into Void Metamorphosis for Collapsing Star payoffs. Void-Scarred is the dominant hero tree in 12.1 M+ for fast Voidsurge cycles; Annihilator remains viable for large AoE ramps.
How this spec operates
- Intellect and your spec resource gate every decision — spend on payoff, don't cap generators.
- Major window: Void Metamorphosis — Primary burst window — bank souls first, then chain Collapsing Star casts.
- Position early for mechanics — healers can't save you from avoidable floor damage.
- Stat focus: Intellect > Critical Strike > Haste per current 12.1 sims.
