Vengeance Demon Hunter Tank Mythic+ Tips — The War Within (Season 1)

This build is my recommendation for High Mythic+ Pushing. High Mythic+ is defined as any level of Mythic+ that you consider a challenge. Talent choices in this build will focus more towards defensive coverage to reduce the risk of dying while still taking relevant offensive talents to help your group complete the dungeon within the timer and to help with generating and maintaining Aggro on enemies.

The reason for going Fel-Scarred is partially due to the simplicity when compared to Aldrachi Reaver and partially because of overall performance. Pushing higher key levels than you are used to can be a stressful time, and playing talents that have a simpler road to the goal will reduce the risk of making fatal mistakes. Fel-Scarred talents also focus on empowering you outside of Metamorphosis windows, helping you stay alive in your weakest moments defensively. Fel-Scarred also performs better offensively with less effort, which is relevant in dungeons where the timer is a concern.

This talent tree is a general blueprint for Dungeons, and while most dungeons can be completed with this tree as is, there are going to be cases where you want to switch a few talents for utility options in the Class Tree especially. Below are just a few talents to consider depending on the situation.

• If the dungeon has plenty of dangerous spellcasters, talents like Improved Sigil of Misery and Sigil of Chains can be options to consider. If the dungeon contains mainly humanoid enemies, you can also use Imprison as an interrupt of sorts.
• If there are dangerous magic buffs that need to be Purged in the dungeon Consume Magic can be a consideration if your group is lacking options to deal with these mechanics.
• If there are dangerous group mechanics with multiple damage instances, you can talent into Darkness to help your healer out.

This build focuses slightly more on damage while retaining defensive nodes that do not cost too much damage to take, while they might not hold up defensively for the highest levels of dungeons, it will perform more than fine defensively while doing very good damage.

Disrupt is your "kick" and your most important bit of utility in Mythic+, used to stop enemy casts for the benefit of yourself and the rest of the group. It is highly recommended to use a Focus Kick macro for this.

• /cast [@focus,exists,nodead][@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Counter Shot

This macro will kick your focus target if you have one, mouseover if you have no Focus target, and your target if you have neither of those.

To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend a Focus Mouseover macro.

• /focus [@mouseover]

Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly so that you are always able to kick it on cooldown or in coordination with the rest of your group.

Sigil of Silence is your best talent for stopping enemy spellcasters, silencing all enemies hit for 4-6 seconds, depending on talent choices. Able to stop all nearby casters to allow for regular "kicks" and other tools to come off cooldown.

Chaos Nova is your second-most important utility and is an AoE Stun, stunning all nearby targets for 2 seconds on a short 45-second cooldown.

Sigil of Misery is a more situational tool that can fear enemies for up to 17 seconds, depending on your talents. The fear easily breaks from damage and is, therefore, usually mostly a momentary "stop". It can also be used to skip enemy trash packs by fearing them and using Shadowmeld after you and your entire party has moved past them. Does generally not work on undead targets.

Sigil of Chains can also be used to momentarily disrupt enemy casters or reposition enemies. Due to the short range, the usefulness of stacking enemies is not very high since if enemies are close enough to be gripped, they are likely already grouped well enough. It is also worth noting that the risk of syncing up the auto-attacks of enemies is high by grouping them, which can lead to a very high spike in damage at once. Therefore, it is advised never to grip enemies on top of your location and always moving slightly so the enemies spread out a bit.

Imprison can be used to trap a enemy Humanoid, Beast, or Demon for a minute; it can also be used as a weaker version of Disrupt to stop casts for a moment. It will break as soon as anyone deals damage to the enemy, so the duration will be almost zero.

Consume Magic can be used to remove a beneficial magic buff on an enemy every 10 seconds. There are often other specs with better tools for this, and the amount of times it is useful to have are usually less than the dungeons in the season pool. However, if there are situations where it is useful, it can be a worthwhile talent choice.

Vengeful Retreat is a movement tool with a nice side-effect. Using it removes most debuffs that reduce your movement speed, which sounds limited in use until you learn how many strong debuffs are also attached to a small slow. If you have any such dangerous debuffs, you want to clear Vengeful Retreat is a cheap and convenient tool.

Sigil of Silence, Chaos Nova and Sigil of Misery are all amazing for this affix.

Infernal Strike is a great tool for catching Shattered Essence crystals.

Your natural healing will be able to heal through Void Rift fairly well but in higher keys, you might want to make sure your healer prioritize dispelling you.

Make sure to position enemies with the Void Emmisary so that your party members can cleave other targets efficiently.
