Vengeance Demon Hunter Tank Guide — The War Within (11.1.5)

Patch 11.1.5 did not bring any changes to Vengeance Demon Hunter, however in the weeks leading up to the patch we received a few tuning changes to some of our spells and talents. Below is a list of all these changes.

• Deflecting Spikes now increases your Parry chance by 10% instead of 15% during Demon Spikes.
• Sigil of Silence now has a baseline duration of 2 seconds, down from 4 seconds.
• Incorruptible Spirit now grants a shield for 10% of Soul Fragment healing, down from 15%.

Patch 11.1 brings a large list of changes to Vengeance Demon Hunter. A few talent changes accompanied by a significant amount of tuning of talents and spells. On top of this all tanks received a damage boost to make threat management easier.

The patch brings a few minor changes to Demon Hunter that affects Vengeance Demon Hunter , mostly tuning to class specific spells and effects of the Hero talent trees.

• Minor updates to the behaviour of Imprison and Spectral Sight which will have very little application in most content.
• Immolation Aura and Sigil of Flame damage increased by 6%.
• The Hunt and Sigil of Spite damage increased by 8%.
• Demonsurge damage increased by 48.5% for Vengeance and minor buffs to Burning Blades and Flamebound as well as a nerf to the duration and effectiveness of Student of Suffering.
• Wounded Quarry reworked, instead of auto-attacks dealing extra damage to targets marked by Reaver's Mark you now replicate a part of all physical damage dealt to any target onto the marked target.
• Thrill of the Fight no longer applies its 20% damage increase twice to most of our spells.

Beyond the changes to Demon Hunter, there are also a handful of Vengeance specific changes which have varying impact on your talent choices and overall power.

• All ability damage increased by 20%.
• Demon Spikes base duration increased from 6 seconds to 8 seconds.
• Cycle of Binding now reduces the cooldown of all sigils by 5 seconds when you cast Sigil of Flame.
• Burning Blood now increases Fire damage by 8%, down from 10%, and Fiery Demise increases damage by 15%/30%, down from 20%/40%. However, both of these talents now affect Sigil of Spite and The Hunt.
