Vengeance Demon Hunter Tank Best Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Midnight (12.0.1)

In Midnight, consumables, gems, and enchants all come in different qualities based on the skill of the crafter making it. There are two ranks for most consumables, gems, and enchants, and their power scales with their rank. For example Potion of Recklessness will give more or fewer stats when used, depending on the rank of the Potion. 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.

Most enchants, gems, and consumables will simply give you more stats to empower your character, and you will therefore tend to choose those that give you stats that are better for your specific Specialization. For a more in-depth overview of stat priority, you can visit the stats page linked below.

Thalassian Diamonds are the most powerful gems available in Midnight, and because of this you are limited to a single Diamond equipped at any one time. There are several different Thalassian Diamonds but the one that stands out the most is the raw stat version Indecipherable Eversong Diamond. As long as the price is manageable for you. There are other Thalassian Diamonds that trade some Agility for a secondary effect, and if you do go for one of those you gain more value depending on the amount of different colors you have on your other gems, which means there might be a slight gain to use as many different colors as possible.

Since you can only have one Thalassian Diamond any other gems will have to be other kinds. If you are running a Thalassian Diamond that benefits from having multiple colors of gems equipped it can be worth running three or even four different types of gems. If you are running Indecipherable Eversong Diamond this does not matter and you can simply use some combination of Haste, Critical Strike, and Versatility gems such as Flawless Deadly Peridot or Flawless Versatile Garnet.

The following enchants increase damage or survivability. The consensus is to lean towards enchant that balance both unless some enchant is significantly overtuned. 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.

FAQWhat Weapon Enchant Should I use?

Generally you want to use Enchant Weapon - Berserker's Rage since Haste is the strongest stats defensively for Vengeance. However, if you happen to be very heavily invested into Haste on your gear, and close to the diminishing returns breakpoints of 1320 Haste, you probably want to consider running one or even two Enchant Weapon - Jan'alai's Precision or Enchant Weapon - Worldsoul Tenacity to spread out your stats a bit and gain slightly more offensive and defensive value.

Midnight flasks come in four variants, one for each secondary stat. Generally Vengeance prefers Flask of the Blood Knights for Haste, but if you are very heavy on Haste gear you can choose to use Flask of the Shattered Sun for Critical Strike or Flask of Thalassian Resistance for Versatility

When it comes to Combat potions the strongest option is currently Potion of Recklessness for a massive burst of your highest Secondary Stat, which is usually going to be Haste, at a small loss of your lowest Secondary Stat. This makes it a really strong potion for both burst damage and survivability while it is active.

Midnight also has a Healing potion in Silvermoon Health Potion which can be used for a burst of healing if needed. As a tank it will not restore a massive amount of your health, but it can still be useful in a pinch.

In current tuning Thalassian Phoenix Oil wins compared to other oils and Refulgent Whetstone both offensively and defensively.

There are plenty of food choices available in Midnight, but the food that currently looks to perform the best is one of the Main Stat Feasts such as Silvermoon Parade, and if that is not available you can use Royal Roast for yourself.
