A Guide to Vengeance Demon Hunter: A Complete Monster
Welcome!

Purpose of This Guide

By using this guide, you should be able to confidently run +15 Mythic Dungeon keys and complete them on time. After you feel comfortable with how the build works, players can start to test their own modifications and rotations to see what works best for them. The WoW Generalist believes that each class and spec has built-in flexibility that allows you to customize the build based off your play-style. Having said that, you may not be aware or familiar with some of the suggestions we make in this guide and we encourage you to test them all.

This build provides you with a highly survivable tank and it is our opinion that you will not need additional defensive mitigation here. We believe that whichever primary essence you select should be purely offensive and promote the core characteristics of the build. For our build we have selected Worldvein Resonance because of the large boost of Agility for 18 seconds. The amount scales with your Cuore di Azeroth. The trait will enhance your overall DPS for an extended period on a one minute cooldown and give you additional passive dodge while it is active.

Secondary Essences

Visione della Perfezione – Reduced cooldown on Metamorphosis with a slight healing benefit.

Lotta e Conflitto – We pull big so having some extra Versatility will be beneficial in every instance.

Forza del Custode – This build is a high dodge and parry build so the healing here is consistent and reliable.

Other helpful Essences

Sfera della Soppressione – If you have agro issues this will reduce enemy attacker’s movement speed by 30% and give you what equates to a 5% haste buff. As long as you are in melee combat this buff will remain active.

Dinamo della Nullificazione – Every 15 seconds you gain a magic absorption shield that lasts for 10 seconds, then exploding when expired for an amount equal to the absorbed damage taken. Consider this essence for Vena Madre and Santuario della Tempesta.

I am really curious if this guide went thru anything resembling a curation process. This is some grade A false information

Commento di TheWoWGeneralist

The Demon Hunter tanking guide is written for average players and built so you can easily accumulate the gear and stats. This build was evaluated and tested by multiple players in the current patch who regularly time Mythic+ 20 to 22 dungeons. The mathematics are accurate and the stat priority is based off what we believe is appropriate for a tank. The goal of the build is to reduce damage taken and provide excellent healing without sacrificing a huge amount of DPS or threat.

For more visible proof of how easy it is to play this build please review our included video evidence. Specifically, healing done on the first boss, damage taken on the second and third boss, and overall DPS. Keep in mind that a healer ran the build for us. It is our belief that if as a tank you play to all the strengths of your toon, you will time more dungeons and your healer and DPS will thank you.

Contributors to our guides include: people who have played these toons since their inception, players with 3k and up ratings in the current expansion, video game beta testers with more than 50 years combined experience, players who have ranked #1 on their realm or region for Mythic+ dungeons or #1 in the world for multiple bosses in Mythic raiding parse when they were actively tanking.
