Vengeance Demon Hunter Tank Macros and Addons — The War Within (11.2)

• #showtooltip Disrupt
• /cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Disrupt

This macro will use Disrupt on your current focus target.

• #showtooltip Consume Magic
• /cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Consume Magic

This macro will use Consume Magic on your current focus target.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [mod:ctrl, @player] Sigil of Flame; [nomod, @cursor] Sigil of Flame

You should use this macro for your Sigils. You can then use it either with @cursor or @player, depending on what you prefer. Only use the macro if you are comfortable with the range of your sigils. You can replace Sigil of Flame with any other Sigil spell name to get the same effect.

• #showtooltip
• /cast [mod:ctrl, @player] Infernal Strike; [nomod, @cursor] Infernal Strike

• /cancelaura Blessing of Protection

This macro is very useful to have. It allows you to cancel a Blessing of Protection that may have been cast on you, allowing you to resume your attacks. It is also important because, while you are under the effect of Blessing of Protection, mobs will not attack you and instead will just attack the next person the aggro list (usually a DPS player).

• #showtooltip Torment
• /cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][]Torment

This macro will use Torment on the target you are currently mousing over.

ElvUI is a complete replacement of the default User Interface. It comes with almost everything you need to perform properly: action bars, unit frames, cooldown timers, proc displays, etc.

Other worthwhile addons include but are not limited to the following.

Boss mods are addons that warn you about boss abilities and give you live advice on how to handle some mechanics. We strongly recommend you to get one such addon. At Icy Veins, we mostly use Deadly Boss Mods, the most popular boss mod. A good alternative is Big Wigs.

WeakAuras is an extremely useful addon that allows you to have visual effects on your screen, helping you track your buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. It is highly customisable and it can make it much, much easier to keep track of your procs and play your spec more proficiently. It can also be used for a variety of other functions.

"Details!" Damage Meter is a real-time DPS/HPS meter with a lot of additional functionality such as being able to see cooldowns, buffs, debuffs, damage done to specific targets, and statistical analysis. In our opinion, it is superior to Skada in terms of functionality, although it is slightly more complicated to configure. We recommend Details! as your default damage meter, but if you prefer something easier, then Skada is still a good option.

GTFO is a lightweight addon that notifies you when you are standing in harmful effects or when you are making other such mistakes. It is very useful, even if your boss mod is already alerting you of such things.

Hekili is a visual rotation aid that gives a visual cue to help players better grasp the moment-to-moment gameplay that can sometimes be overwhelming. It is regularly updated to align with new simulation profiles as and when they are created, and we highly recommend it as a tool both to learn with and as a helping hand to steer you along the right path, even for experienced players.
