Vengeance Demon Hunter Tank Spell List and Glossary — Dragonflight 10.0.7

Vengeance Demon Hunters use the resources called Fury and Shattered Soul Fragments. Fury is very similar in functionality to Warriors' and Guardian Druids' Rage. Soul Fragments are akin to Combo Points used by Rogues and Feral Druids, however they are stored on the ground and can be absorbed by walking within 4 yards of them.

The Fury bar has a baseline maximum capacity of 100, can be increased to a max of 120 by talenting into Unrestrained Fury, and is empty by default. Fury decays at a rate of 1 per second when out of combat. In combat, Fury does not decay. Fury comes using a number of abilities.

Soul Fragments are a unique Vengeance Demon Hunter mechanic. The baseline ability comes from the Shattered Souls passive.

When you kill a target, there is a chance that a Soul Fragment will be created. This is an orb that is placed on the ground at a nearby location, which persists for up to 20 seconds. If you walk over it, you will consume the Soul Fragment, and be healed for a certain amount (348.075% of your attack power in health). Only you can see and interact with your Soul Fragments.

Moreover, if a Soul Fragment comes from a Demon target, consuming it will also increase your damage done by 20% for 15 seconds.

The four ways you can consume souls are:

• Spirit Bomb.
• Soul Cleave.
• Auto Consuming them via overcapping (going above 5 souls)
• Walking within 4 yards of a soul.

Note that in general you do not want to walk near a soul unintentionally. It will be auto consumed, meaning loss of damage when taking Spirit Bomb. You also do not want to overcap souls if you are running Spirit Bomb, for the same DPS loss reason.

In addition to these Soul Fragments, there are also Lesser Soul Fragments. These have a chance to be created when you damage targets with Shear. They work in exactly the same way, but they heal for 8% of all damage taken in the last 5 sec, with a minimum heal of 1% of your maximum health.

Your Soul Cleave and Spirit Bomb abilities will instantly consume Soul Fragments (including Lesser ones) within a 100-yard radius. This is significant because, given the frequency with which you use these abilities, walking around to manually collect Soul Fragments is simply not necessary.

Vengeance will unlock a couple of abilities in their starter zone; however, most of the abilities and ranks are gained from talenting into them after reaching level 10.
