BiS List for Vengeance Demon Hunter

This list contains the Best in Slot Gear for Vengeance Demon Hunter from all gear sources. This list goes for a balance of maximum damage output while leaning into stats that are stronger for us, and that plenty of other combinations will perform extremely close to this one.

For pure damage output make sure to simulate your available gear to figure out what combination will perform best from what you have available. And do keep in mind that if you have an item that is not on this list but that has higher Item Level, then that item is almost certainly better defensively.

There are a great number of fairly good Trinkets available for Vengeance, and there are a few different kinds of set-ups that can work for us as a Tank specialization. For general value stat stick trinkets that offer permanent or high uptime buffs of stats are generally good offensively while offering consistent defensive value. For Annihilator pairing an on-use trinket with Metamorphosis can lead to strong burst damage. And if you want an additional defensive layer you can choose to use a defensive shield trinket.

Below are a list of trinkets filling these niches ranked based on how strong they are. Click on our ranking chart here to see if they are worth equipping. Trinkets absent from the list are generally C-tier or lower in power.

Throughout this page, we regularly refer to the importance of simming yourself on Raidbots, as it is an indispensable aspect of optimizing your character.

If you are new to simming and Raidbots, check out our detailed guide below.

Crafting is a very useful way of getting access to high Item Level gear, with the ability to craft a high Item Level gear piece unlocking every other week during Season 1.

Since you will be limited during Season 1 in how many items you can craft it is worth planning ahead what items can be useful to grab. Generally it is best to avoid crating in one of the five slots that are occupied by tier items. Below is a recommended order of crafting items:

Vengeance Crafted Gear Priority

• Spellbreaker's Warglaive with Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt
• Silvermoon Agent's Deflectors with Arcanoweave Lining
• Any item you do not have on Myth track yet.

For more information about crafting gear you can visit our Profession page through the button below:

You can use up to two items that are Embellished, items with additional bonus effects that empower your character. These are added to crafted gear by people who have mastered professions, adding the bonuses to items making them stronger.

Generally as a tank your best Embellishments are options that grant you extra stats, since we benefit both offensively and defensively. And as of current tuning the two best options are:

• Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt on a weapon, any weapon works, but Spellbreaker's Warglaive is the only weapon that can be used by Vengeance and Devourer Demon Hunter, so if you ever want to play Devourer it is the recommended option.
• Arcanoweave Lining, ideally on a low budget slot like Wrists.

You will be able to upgrade your items via Crests, such as Veteran Dawncrest. Once you have upgraded a slot to a certain item level, upgrading other items of that slot to that item level is free.

When you upgrade with Crests, you should think of it as upgrading slots and not items.

Additionally, to speed up gearing, you will generally want to obtain the highest item-level possible before upgrading a given slot, as this means you will spend fewer Crests on that slot in total.

Below is the slot priority you should upgrade your items in. It is essentially based on "which slot gives the most DPS and survivability if you increase its Item Level".

Vengeance Demon Hunter Crest Upgrade Priority

Weapon (Main hand) ➜ Trinkets ➜ Helmet/Chest/Legs ➜ Shoulders/Gloves/Belt/Boots ➜ Rings/Neck

Note that exceptions are possible, such as special items that have strong additional effects on top of their normal stat budget.
