Overview
Havoc is the most mobile melee spec in the game. Fury flows quickly, the priority is short, and double-jump plus Fel Rush means mechanics cost you almost nothing. Damage is front-loaded into Metamorphosis and Eye Beam windows, with a comfortable sustained rotation in between.
How this spec operates
- Fury is your only resource — spend before you cap, especially during
Metamorphosis. 
Eye Beam drives damage and haste — treat it as core rotation, not a saved cooldown.- Metamorphosis is your primary burst window — enter with fury and cooldowns ready.
- Exceptional mobility via
Fel Rush and double-jump — mechanics cost almost no uptime. 
Chaos Brand and 
Darkness are raid utility — coordinate Darkness with healers.
