Vengeance Demon Hunter Tank Gear and Best in Slot — Season 4

Welcome to our Gear and BiS Page for Vengeance Demon Hunter for Dragonflight Season 4 Dragonflight. On this page, we will present everything that you need to know about gearing a Vengeance Demon Hunter, including the Strongest gear from all sources, as well as discussions about all strong trinkets available.

While there are some possible goals you can aim for as a Vengeance Demon Hunter, there will always be conditions. Defensively, an item with a higher Item Level will almost always be stronger than a "better" item with a lower Item Level.

Offensively, however, you might find situations where an item with a lower item level or stats that you would not think is your best item. And unless you have every item on the lists below, you might find that several of these items are not the strongest item for you.

BiS List for Vengeance Demon Hunter

This list contains the highest dps options from most sources for Vengeance Demon Hunter. This combination will likely be your best defensive setup, or at least extremely close to it, with trinkets changed depending on the situation.

In most non-Tier slots, a 486 Item Level Craft can be a strong option since you can customize the secondary stats to select stats that fulfill your goals.

A few specific 489 Item Level Great Vault items from Mythic+ are listed below, however, do note that if you have not managed to get one from the Vault you may have to simulate yourself to see if they are worth replacing with a crafted item at Item Level 486.

Season 4 offers a way to target specific, powerful items with the new Antique Bronze Bullion. Below are the best items to spend your Bullions on in Dragonflight Season 4 as a Vengeance Demon Hunter. These items are either Strong trinkets or offer significant bonus value for free and are highly contested items, which makes targeting them extra valuable.

1. Thorncaller Claw
2. Seal of Diurna's Chosen
3. Elementium Pocket Anvil
4. Cataclysmic Signet Brand
5. Storm-Eater's Boon

In Season 4 of Dragonflight, you will be able to use Spark of Awakening to craft gear up to Item Level 525. Some high-priority items are special Embellished gear, which have special effects. Below is a general list of things recommended to craft.

1. The first item you should be looking to craft week one is a pair of Life-Bound Boots infused with a Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch.
2. Your second Spark should be sent on Life-Bound Bindings infused with a Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch.
3. Once you have your two embellishments, you will want to craft slots where you can get a large item-level upgrade. Consider putting a Alchemical Flavor Pocket on a low-budget item like Waist or Cloak.
4. Later in the Season, when you have gotten gear with sockets in most slots where sockets are available; you can consider crafting an Elemental Lariat to use together with Life-Bound Bindings if it gives close to the same damage for a small amount of extra defensive value.

Gear in Dragonflight Season 4 is upgraded with two currencies: Flightstones and Awakened Crests, both obtainable from practically all forms of content in the game. They can be used to upgrade gear up to Item Level 528. Awakened Crests can also be used to upgrade Crafted Gear crafted with a Spark of Awakening up to iLvl 525.

For more information on the Gear Upgrades system, check out our dedicated page for it below.

As with Valor, the cost to upgrade scales differs per slot but now also increases quickly as item levels go up.

There are a few items which will serve as noticeable upgrades for Vengeance, the main ones being Stormslash, Thorncaller Claw, Seal of Diurna's Chosen and any of the Trinkets outlined in the section below. These are your best bet for an early upgrade. Beyond these, you will want to focus upgrades on tier set items, as they are something you will be wearing the entire patch.

Stormslash is a Warglaive weapon that drops in the Nokhud Offensive dungeon. The weapon has a passive effect that contributes slightly more damage than other options. It is rarely worth dropping item level to equip this weapon in either weapon slot.

Thorncaller Claw is a Fist Weapon from The Council of Dreams in Amirdrassil. It offers a passive damage effect that far outscales the slight loss of stats on the weapon itself.

Seal of Diurna's Chosen is a Ring from Eranog in Vault of the Incarnates which offers a free damaging proc that has a chance to activate from any Fire damage you do. This is a lot of damage completely for free, making this ring by far the most powerful option available.

Since Vengeance is a tank specialization, you will have to consider your trinket choice based on the content you are doing. If you want a trinket that increases your damage or something to help you defensively, it will change what you are looking for. Below are some recommendations from The Amirdrassil Raid and Mythic+, as well as what the use cases for the different trinkets are.

1. Cataclysmic Signet Brand, is a trinket that drops from Smolderon in Amirdrassil. It deals damage to you and your target, increasing with each activation up until you reach 15 activations in a row when the damage radiates to nearby enemies. Leaving combat makes the stacks decay over 15 seconds until they completely disappear. An incredibly strong trinket if you can maintain the stacks for a long time, otherwise, it will still be a good option.
2. Pip's Emerald Friendship Badge is a trinket from Council of Dreams. A passive trinket that cycles between Mastery, Critical Strike, and Versatility, starting at a large amount after each switch and diminishing over 12 seconds. A decent passive option for damage in situations with multiple targets.
3. Fyrakk's Tainted Rageheart is a trinket that drops from Fyrakk. This Trinket at first appears like a defensive trinket, but the shield is mostly depleted by the self-damage. The passive damage effect and the damage from the effect might possibly make it an offensive option for Mythic+ dungeons with large pulls.
4. Elementium Pocket Anvil drops from Amalgamation Chamber in Aberrus. It offers significant single-target damage in Raid situations where you use a significant amount of Soul Cleave. It underperforms in situations where you are not using Soul Cleave as much, making it a weaker option in Mythic+.
5. Storm-Eater's Boon drops from Dathea in Vault of the Incarnates. It is by far the strongest Trinket in situations with more than one target, so much stronger than with enough targets, it will be stronger than any other trinkets combined. However, the 10-second root means that you are in incredible risk of being hit by mechanics you have to move from, killing you. Only use this Trinket if you know that you can do so safely.

1. Prophetic Stonescales is a trinket from Dawn of the Infinite, and can drop on Mythic 0 difficulty. A passive Cheat Death trinket, which allows you to survive dying once every 8 minutes, healing you for a large amount, and giving a burst of Haste and reducing damage taken from the enemies that killed you by 20%. Even with the lower item level, it is still a very solid option for dangerous content.
2. Treemouth's Festering Splinter is a trinket from Brackenhide Hollow. A 90-second on-use Trinket that absorbs half of all damage you take for 15 seconds or until a massive shield is depleted. In many situations you can use this Trinket as a substitute for a defensive cooldown, making this a very powerful trinket.

With Amirdrassil, a new tier set arrives. For Vengeance, these are Demon Hunter Vengeance 10.2 Class Set 2pc and Demon Hunter Vengeance 10.2 Class Set 4pc. Both set bonuses are decently strong, especially Demon Hunter Vengeance 10.2 Class Set 4pc in situations with many targets, where it will give you a massive amount of extra Soul Fragment.
