Vengeance Demon Hunter Tank Amirdrassil Raid Guide — Season 4

On this page, you will find Vengeance Demon Hunter specific information to deal with each Boss in the Awakened Raids version of the Amirdrassil raid. These are not complete encounter guides but instead here to provide particular tips and tricks or alternative talents for each of the bosses as a Vengeance Demon Hunter.

This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Vengeance Demon Hunter and how you can deal with each fight as best as possible.

The build above is your generic single target talent tree. Each Boss below will note if it uses this build or a different one if anything should be tweaked. Running the same talent build for every single Boss is not optimal but this build will perform decently on all encounters.

For Gnarlroot, we recommend the default talent build at the top of the page.

• Dreadfire Barrage will be the tank swap mechanic of this fight. Swap after the channel ends.
• Try to get aggro on adds that spawn to prevent unnecessary raid damage.
• Use your movement tools to help soak Splintering Charcoal and burn the roots during the intermission.

For more information, please refer to our Gnarlroot guide.

For The Igira, we recommend the default talent build at the top of the page.

• Stand close to your co-tank as Igira hits the target closest to the current tank.
• Igira applies Drenched Blades to her main target, tank swap as this debuff drops from you.

For more information, please refer to our Igira guide.

For Volcoross, we recommend the default talent build at the top of the page.

• Volcoross applies Molten Venom with its attacks, increasing damage from the Tank hit Cataclysm Jaws, taunt swap for each cast of Cataclysm Jaws.
• Help your group by soaking area of effects to reduce their damage taken.

For the Council of Dreams, we recommend the default talent build at the top of the page.

For Larodar, we recommend the default talent build at the top of the page, with the possibility of talenting into Sigil of Silence by dropping Meteoric Strikes.

• Use Infernal Strike to get range from Furious Charge to reduce damage taken. Taunt swap after the charge.
• Use Sigil of Silence to prevent Fiery Treants from casting Fiery Flourish.
• In phase 2 taunt swap after Smoldering Backdraft and stack on your group when affected by Smoldering Suffocation to stay alive.

For Nymue, we recommend the default talent build at the top of the page.

• Use a Defensive cooldown, or stack up Frailty to mitigate damage from Threaded Blast hits.
• Use Infernal Strike to move away when targeted by Weaver's Burden, taunt swap after.
• Care not to move Cycle Wardens across threads of the Verdant Matrix.

For more information, please refer to our Nymue guide.

For Smolderon, we recommend the default talent build at the top of the page.

• Use a defensive for Brand of Damnation, and move away from the raid with Searing Aftermath to reduce raid damage using Infernal Strike.
• Taunt swap after Brand of Damnation cast.

For more information, please refer to our Smolderon guide.

For Tindral, we recommend the default talent build at the top of the page.

• The Taunt swap is done when Searing Wrath stacks drops off.
• In Heroic difficulty and lower, you and the other Tank needs to alternate soaking Blazing Mushroom so they do not explode.
• In mythic difficulty, you need to alternate soaking Blazing Mushroom and Poisonous Mushroom. Taking two of the same will kill you.

For more information, please refer to our Tindral guide.

For Fyrakk, we recommend either the talent build on the top of the page. Or alternatively changing to a talent tree including Illuminated Sigils and possibly Sigil of Chains to help your raid control the adds in Phase 2.

• The tank swap mechanic on this encounter is Fyr'alath's Bite, generally you want to taunt and switch at 2 stacks of the debuff. Do note that this ability has a frontal cone effect and needs to be aimed away from your raid.
• In Phase 2 there will be two Burning Colossus add spawns; tanks should take one each of these and position them on top of the smaller adds.
• In Phase 2 you can use Sigil of Chains and Sigil of Silence to help stack and control the casts of the small adds.
• In the last Phase the tank swap is Infernal Maw which leaves a constant ticking DoT which lasts until the fight is over. Tanks need to coordinate so no tank gets too many stacks.

For more information, please refer to our Fyrakk guide.
