Vengeance Demon Hunter Tank Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Dragonflight 10.2
On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Vengeance Demon Hunter, based on your stat priority. We also give budget alternatives. This page is updated for World of Warcraft — Dragonflight 10.2.
Quality of Enchants, Gems, and Consumables in Dragonflight
With the new revamp to professions in Dragonflight, consumables, gems,
and enchants all come in different qualities based on the skill of the
crafter making it. There are three ranks for most consumables, gems, and enchants
, where the power scales with the rank. For example
Elemental Potion of Power will give more stats than lower ranks of the
same potion like
Elemental Potion of Power. This means that you will
have to balance the level of your consumables against the
gold you are willing to invest, but also that there are cheaper alternatives to
every consumable.
Best Gems for Vengeance Demon Hunters
Inscribed Illimited Diamond, you can only have one Primalist gem equipped at once.
Crafty Ysemerald , for any remaining socket slot, you will want to use Critical Strike gems with some extra Haste, or whatever sims the highest if your goal is maximum damage.
Best Enchants for Vengeance Demon Hunters
The following enchants increase damage or survivability. The general consensus is to lean more towards damage when survivability is not an issue. Offensive enchants are recommended for most content available. Decide which enchant is needed for the content you are playing and choose the rank depending on how long you are planning to use a certain item and how much gold you are willing to spend on it.

Consumables for Vengeance Demon Hunters
Starting in the Dragonflight you can change talents
anywhere
as long as you are not in combat or in an active Mythic+ dungeon.
Therefore, you no longer need to use a Tome of the Still Mind or
Codex of the Still Mind to change your talents. You also do not have to
be in a rested area to be able to change them.
Augment Runes
In Dragonflight, you can get Draconic Augment Rune from completing dungeon
or raid finder when tanks are in demand. This will generally yield you a handful of
runes. These are likely going to be more expensive than the counterpart in previous
expansions and are mostly recommended when you are in need of that extra amount of
power in very challenging content.
Phials and Potions for Vengeance Demon Hunters
Phials
Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage for general usage.
Potions
Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power offensively.
Refreshing Healing Potion for healing in general.
Potion of Withering Dreams for healing through larger damage events or healing absorbs.
Weapon Runes and Sharpening Stones
Dragonflight introduces Runes crafted by people with the Inscription profession, which will augment your weapons for a brief period of time to gain additional secondary stats. They share their buff slot with Sharpening Stones, which increases your Attack Power by a fixed amount.
Runes comes in three variations, Howling Rune,
Hissing Rune
and
Buzzing Rune.
For general usage, Buzzing Rune is recommended due to the strength of Critical Strike
for Vengeance. For damage, you should sim the Runes against
Primal Whetstone
to determine which grants you the largest damage gain.
Best Food
Food giving you Haste and Critical Strike is recommended as the food choice
in solo content or when you are decently well-geared. Feasts and Fortune cookies
provide Agility, which you want unless Feisty Fish Sticks sim for more
damage for you.
Feisty Fish Sticks (Haste and Critical Strike) or
Deviously Deviled Eggs (Agility)
Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak (Agility)
