Demon Hunter Devourer Rotation & Opener
Built from the current top-100 Mythic parses on WarcraftLogs — the real opener sequences, casts-per-minute and buff uptimes of the best Devourer players, not theorycraft.
AI coach — raid
How to play: Devour is your main filler (top players: 22/min), Consume harvests soul fragments, Void Ray weaves in at 7.3/min. Collapsing Star on cooldown (3.8/min); Soul Immolation is the big cooldown to align bursts with. Watch: soul fragments (97.3% top uptime = fragments are almost always available) — Consume them, don't let them rot; Collapsing Star windows cover 64% of the fight, stack your damage inside them.
Real Opener Sequences — Vorasius
First ~12 casts of actual top-ranked kills. Trinkets and racials vary by setup; the skill order is what to copy.

Casts Per Minute — Raid Benchmark
| Ability | Top-player CPM |
|---|---|
| Devour | 22.0 |
| Consume | 8.9 |
| Void Ray | 7.3 |
| Collapsing Star | 3.8 |
| Soul Immolation | 1.4 |
| Nullsight | 0.8 |
| Blur | 0.6 |
CPM = median casts per minute across the sampled top kills. If you're far below on a core ability, that's usually the first thing to fix.
Buff Uptimes to Watch
| Buff | Top-player uptime |
|---|---|
| Soul Fragments | 97.3% |
| Hasty Hunt | 73.4% |
| Voidfall | 69.0% |
| Alnscorned Essence | 66.7% |
| Frenzied Focus | 65.1% |
| Void Metamorphosis | 64.9% |
| Collapsing Star | 64.4% |
| Emptiness | 64.2% |
| Arcanoweave Insight | 63.0% |
| Voidfall | 57.6% |
Mythic+ Differences
AI coach — Mythic+
How to play: Same hands as raid — Devour as the main button, Consume and Void Ray woven in, Collapsing Star aimed at pack centers (it's worth more here). Use Blur rhythmically, not just in emergencies. Watch: Feast of Souls sits at 95.5% — never break the soul fragment pickup loop; fragments left on the ground are wasted production.
