For Heroic, Mythic, and Mythic+ dungeons at lower levels, Fel-Scarred provides a very strong Hero Talent set-up. The damage is frontloaded, useful for trash packs that may not live very long, and offers good passive damage mitigation, making you stronger at reducing damage passively.

Patch 11.1.7 adds the new 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 0.2 seconds longer. Because of this, it will always perform worse than if you use the spells yourself.

The Combat Assistant performance for Aldrachi Reaver is decent, but not good. It has some glaring issues, such as not using Immolation Aura against single target enemies, and using the combo after Reaver's Glaive the wrong way on single target. It also generally presses some buttons in the wrong priority. It is not as bad as it could be, but it could be better, with you losing as much as 30% of your damage.

The Combat Assistant performance for Fel-Scarred leaves a lot to wish for. It has some very major issues, including not using Fel Devastation against a single target, which is the core concept of Fel-Scarred. It also does not cast Spirit Bomb until at least 6 targets are present, even if it would activate Demonsurge. These things, combined with general rotation issues, mean you lose as much as 80% damage in single target, and closer to 40% against 5 targets using the Combat Assistant. The one saving grace is that it is at least somewhat acceptable against 6 or more targets.

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 placed on the target when you think that they will deal high damage to you or when you simply want to reduce the damage you take.

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 Lesser Soul Fragment and an extra 20 Fury is generated when Fracture or Shear is used.

While playing with Demonic, Fel Devastation will trigger Metamorphosis for 7 seconds. In almost all situations, Metamorphosis is enough to survive, and this opportunity allows for Demon Spikes to recharge.
