Vengeance Demon Hunter Tank Easy Mode — Midnight Season 1

Annihilator offers a relatively simple Raid build with good passive defensive coverage. The core concept of this build centers around building and spending Voidfall stacks with your core abilities. This version drops some damage talents to get Last Resort for a safety net, which can be useful, especially when learning new Raid Encounters.

The best build for Mythic+ and Delves is very similar to the Raid Build, opting to take some utility and defensive options more applicable to the content type at the cost of some of the weaker damage talents. The core concept of this Annihilator build centers around building and spending Voidfall stacks with your core abilities. This version drops some damage talents to get Last Resort for a safety net, which can be especially useful when learning in Mythic+ content.

Below are simplified versions of the rotations with one or multiple targets. For more detailed and in-depth rotation advice visit the Rotation page with the button below.

The Vengeance Apex Talents Untethered Rage does a few things, some passive that do not impact your gameplay a lot, and some that you will have to interact with. When the main ability from the first point activates you gain a charge of Metamorphosis which lasts 10 seconds and have to be used within 12 seconds. There are some things that you can do to benefit even more from this effect, but simply using Metamorphosis when it activates is still very good value and can be done if you do not want to complicate things.

The second point you place in your Apex Talent also lets Spirit Bomb and Soul Cleave consume one additional Soul Fragment, which means you can consume more per button press than before you have it. This might take some getting used to but does not affect gameplay past that point.

Midnight Season 1 brings a new Tier Set, which for Vengeance Demon Hunter centers around our core builder spell Fracture. The 2-piece bonus simply increases the damage Fracture deals, and the 4-piece bonus gives it a small chance to explode for medium Fire damage to all nearby enemies.

The tier set does not affect our rotation and has no real effect on how we play, however it is a decent power increase that you will want to try and pick up during the Season.

Patch 11.1.7 added the Combat Assistant tool, which can help simplify your rotation either by highlighting abilities or by condensing it into a single button, which rotates through abilities for you. These tools rotate through a priority list set up ahead of time by Blizzard and are of varying quality, depending on your Hero Talents of choice. Below is information for both Hero Trees. Do note that the Single-Button Assistant comes with a built-in penalty to the global cooldown, making it 25% longer. Because of this, it will always perform worse than if you use the spells yourself.

The Single-Button Assistant is currently broken and does not use Fracture right now, effectively breaking it completely for both Hero Talents, until this is fixed it is highly recommended to not use it in any situation.

You have one active mitigation ability that you need to use to keep yourself alive, which is Demon Spikes. This should be used frequently, even simply against auto-attacks. Always keep at least one of its charges rolling.

Aside from this, you also have a couple of other abilities you can use to help keep you alive.

Fiery Brand should be used when you think you will take high damage soon or simply to give damage reduction for a period of time.

In addition to that, you have access to a major survivability cooldown in Metamorphosis. This works best when used proactively to increase your health in preparation for incoming damage. Additionally, an additional Soul Fragment and an extra 15 Fury is generated when Fracture is used.
