Vengeance Demon Hunter Tank Easy Mode — Dragonflight 10.0.7

This page is intended for players who are new to the game or class, have no intentions of raiding Mythic difficulty, or simply want a more straightforward way to play their specialization without being overwhelmed by the numerous subtleties and active abilities that need to be taken into consideration for optimal play.

Vengeance Demon Hunters have strong mobility, which can help during tanking, especially in dungeons. Your main goal throughout fights will be to survive through clever usage of your defensive abilities.

Dragonflight introduces new and expanded talent trees giving you access to a Demon Hunter talent tree, and a Vengeance talent tree. Below you will find a general talent build for Vengeance Demon Hunter. For more information on the talents and what they do visit the Talent Page. If you are interested in a talent tree more specialized for Mythic+ or Raid you can visit their respective pages.

You can easily import the talent tree below into the game with the following string:

The basic rotation as a Vengeance Demon Hunter is based on this priority while talented into Spirit Bomb.

1. Use The Hunt on cooldown.
2. Use Soul Carver on cooldown.
3. Use Fel Devastation on cooldown.
4. Use Immolation Aura on cooldown if you will not cap on Fury, and if talented into Fallout that the risk of capping Soul Fragments is low.
5. Keep Fracture recharging if you will not cap on Fury and Souls. During Metamorphosis you may overlook wasting small amounts of Fury.
6. Use Sigil of Flame on cooldown as long as you will not cap Fury, or Soul Fragments if Soul Sigils is talented.
7. Use Spirit Bomb, when you have 4 or more Soul Fragments ready.
8. Use Soul Cleave to spend Fury when you have no Soul Fragments available.
9. Use Throw Glaive as a filler when nothing else is available.

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 anticipate 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 both pro-actively (to increase your health in preparation for damage) and re-actively, as an emergency cooldown to heal you up when you drop low on health. 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 8 seconds. In almost all situations Metamorphosis is enough to survive and this opportunity allows for Demon Spikes to recharge.
