Vengeance Demon Hunter Tank Vault of the Incarnates Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.0.5
On this page, you will find tips, tricks, and strategies tailored to your Vengeance Demon Hunter for each boss of the following raid: Vault of the Incarnates. All our content is updated for World of Warcraft — Dragonflight 10.0.5.
Introduction
Below, you can find class and spec-specific advice for every fight in Vault of the Incarnates. If you are looking for a general overview of the Raid that is not spec-specific, check out our dedicated Vault of the Incarnates guides.
On this page, you will find Vengeance Demon Hunter specific information to deal with each Boss in the Vault of the Incarnates raid. These are not complete encounter guides but instead here to provide particular tips and tricks, or alternative talents for each of the bosses as a Vengeance Demon Hunter.
This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Vengeance Demon Hunter and how you can deal with each fight as best as possible.
The build above is your generic single target talent tree. Each Boss below
will note if it uses this build or if you should adjust anything. Running the
same talent build for every single Boss will not be optimal. Getting
Vengeance Demon Hunter 2pc or
Vengeance Demon Hunter 4pc
will not alter your talent choices in any meaningful way.

Eranog
Talents
For Eranog, you can use the default talent build at the top of the page for more boss damage, or you can use the build below if your raid requires extra AoE damage to speed up killing the adds.
- BUkAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQJClkERSARCQSJBJRLkIRSIRJJIxBSapEEAAAAA
Tips
- Make sure to taunt swap when the
Burning Wound debuff expires.
- Having
Fiery Brand up on the Boss while not actively tanking can help you mitigate the
Burning Wound damage.
- Make sure to damage any Flamescale Tarasek and
Army of Flame adds that spawn to apply
Chaos Brand to it, helping your raid kill them faster.
- The Boss casts a frontal
Molten Cleave that deal damage to any players hit, so make sure to aim the Boss away from the raid.
For more information, please refer to our Eranog guide.
Terros
Talents
For Terros, I suggest you use the default single-target build at the top of this page since the fight is a pure single-target fight.
- BUkAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQJClkERSARCQUSCJRLkIRSIRJJIxBSapEEAAAAA
Tips
- This Boss requires someone to be within melee range of the Boss at all times. Make sure that you stay in the melee range as much as possible.
- Help your group soak the
Rock Blast damage.
- Make sure to taunt swap after the boss cast
Concussive Slam. This ability needs to be aimed at the rock pillars to break them.
- Use
Infernal Strike to move out of
Resonating Annihilation.
For more information, please refer to our Terros guide.
The Primal Council
Talents
For The Primal Council, I suggest you swap to the AoE talent build below,
especially talenting into Burning Alive since it lets your
Fiery Brand spread to multiple targets, reducing damage taken from
enemies, you are not actively tanking.
- BUkAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQJClkERSARCQSJBJRLkIRSIRJJIxBSapEEAAAAA
Tips
- The taunt swaps on this fight are
Crush and
Slashing Blaze.
Slashing Blaze is a frontal cleave, so ensure it is aimed away from the raid. It is cast when Embar Firepath reaches 100 energy.
- Make sure not to leap across friendly players when you or they are affected
by
Conductive Mark as this may cause the mark to spread.
- Use
Disrupt to interrupt
Lightning Bolt and
Frost Spike casts when available.
- If you have
Burning Alive talented, you can try and spread it to as many targets as possible for damage reduction from all their abilities.
For more information, please refer to our The Primal Council guide.
Sennarth, the Cold Breath
Talents
On this Boss, you can either run the default single target build or the AoE build below to assist your raid with add damage.
- BUkAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQJClkERSARCQSJBJRLkIRSIRJJIxBSapEEAAAAA
Tips
Managing the large spider add is a big priority. Make sure you taunt it and aim its frontal cast away from other players.
- Movement is very important on this fight, and slows are frequent. Make sure
to use
Infernal Strike to move around efficiently or to cancel knockback and dragging effects.
- If any member of your raid were to be trapped in
Wrapped in Webs, you can free them by moving a Caustic Spiderlings over them and killing it. This will free them and also remove any webbing on the ground.
- The Boss casts
Web Blast on the current tank, which acts as the taunt swap mechanic.
- Attempt to damage all the spider adds that spawn to apply
Chaos Brand to them.
Dathea, Ascended
Talents
For Dathea you can either opt to play the default single target build for
boss damage, or swap to the AoE build below for higher platform add damage.
You can also switch Roaring Fire to
Sigil of Silence to help
interrupt the platform adds.
- BUkAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQJClkERSARCQSJBJRLkIRSIRLJIxBSapEEAAAAA
Tips
- The tank swap on this encounter is
Zephyr Slam. This ability will also knock you back, which you can use
Infernal Strike to cancel.
- Make sure to position the Volatile Infuser add close to the
platform with the Thunder Caller adds, since it will cast
Blowback, which is what you need to use to reach the platform.
- Use
Disrupt and
Sigil of Silence to help interrupt important casts like
Storm Bolt and
Diverted Essence.
For more information, please refer to our Dathea, Ascended guide.
Kurog Grimtotem
Talents
You can opt for the default single target build for boss damage or the AoE build linked below for more add damage.
- BUkAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQJClkERSARCQSJBJRLkIRSIRJJIxBSapEEAAAAA
Tips
- The taunt swap mechanic on this encounter is
Sundering Strike, a large frontal cone attack that applies a stacking DoT effect. Since any target in front of the Boss will be hit it is important that you aim the Boss away from the raid at all times.
- Make sure to damage all add spawns to apply
Chaos Brand to them
For more information, please refer to our Kurog Grimtotem guide.
Broodkeeper Diurna
Talents
On Broodkeeper, you may opt for the default single target build to increase your boss damage; however, many adds need to die, so it may be to your raid's benefit for you to use an AoE build like the one below. It may depend on your raid's strategy and whether you spend most of your time tanking the Boss or adds.
- BUkAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQJClkERSARCQSJBJRLkIRSIRLJIxBSapEEAAAAA
Tips
The Boss needs to be kept at least 50 yards away from the adds at all times
due to the aura effect Broodkeeper's Bond, which empowers and heals
any add in range.
- Broodkeeper has the tank swap ability
Mortal Stoneclaws, however you do not need to swap during phase one since the effect only lasts for a short time. This debuff has an increased duration during phase 2, which will require a swap.
- Use
Disrupt and
Sigil of Silence to interrupt spells like
Ice Barrage and
Static Jolt.
For more information, please refer to our Broodkeeper Diurna guide.
Raszageth the Storm-Eater
Talents
For this Boss, I suggest you use the default build at the top of this page.
Tips
This Boss was not available for testing in Beta. More information on this encounter will become available when it releases on live servers.
