Demon Hunter · Vengeance

How Vengeance Demon Hunter wins

Vengeance is an aggressive tank that mitigates by dealing damage. You generate Soul Fragments and consume them for healing, keeping Fiery Brand active and Sigil of Spite on schedule.

Not re-verified for Season 2. This ordering was checked for patch 12.0.7. Patch 12.1 raised max-level player health and creature damage by 25% and deliberately moved power out of cooldowns into steady-state damage, either of which can move secondary weights. Open question: no Season 2 sim source has been checked, so the order below is last season's and is shown unchanged rather than guessed at.

Stat priority and consumables

Item level and effect strength still matter. Use this ordering to break close choices, then re-check it after major gear swaps.

1. 1.Agility›
2. 2.Versatility›
3. 3.Haste›
4. 4.Critical Strike›
5. 5.Mastery

Agility and item level are the first check. Versatility leads the secondaries because it flattens spike damage while adding flat output; Haste speeds Soul Fragment and Fracture generation, which is both offense and self-healing. Critical Strike is mostly offensive, and Mastery trails. Weight Versatility harder on progression and let Haste climb once the damage patterns feel comfortable.

Priority order is from patch 12.0.7 and has not been re-derived for 12.1. Individual lines naming an ability that 12.1 removed or redesigned are annotated above; lines that 12.1 only retuned are unchanged, because a damage number moving does not by itself reorder a priority list.

Opener and priority

Use these as decision priorities, not a rigid cast sequence. Re-evaluate whenever targets, resources, procs, or mechanics change.

Import strings were built for patch 12.0.7 and have NOT been re-verified for 12.1. Nobody authoritative publishes import strings, so none was rewritten here rather than invented. Patch 12.1 moved or removed talents in several trees, so a string may import a build that no longer exists. Check the listed key talents against the 12.1 changes above before importing.

Talents and hero trees

Use Fel-Scarred for the single-target profile below and Aldrachi Reaver when cleave or adds make its toolkit more valuable.

Recommended starting profiles

Single-target: Fel-Scarred

Annihilator builds Voidfall procs through Fracture casts and spends them for strong steady single-target damage and mitigation.

• Fel-Scarred hero tree
• Stat priority: Agility > Versatility
• Interrupt: Disrupt

Multi-target: Aldrachi Reaver

Aldrachi Reaver maximizes Soul generation and Reaver's Glaive for the best big-pull sustain and threat.

• Aldrachi Reaver hero tree
• Prioritize AoE and add-swap talents
• Interrupt: Disrupt

Raid Progression - Fel-Scarred

Default raid tank build. Fel-Scarred leans on Demonsurge and Metamorphosis uptime for stronger single-target damage while the defensive loop stays unchanged: Fracture feeds Soul Fragments, Spirit Bomb applies Frailty, Soul Cleave heals, and Fiery Brand covers scheduled busters. Untethered Rage and Soul Carver round out the damage profile; take Soul Barrier on its row when magic spikes are the thing that kills you.

Mythic+ - Aldrachi Reaver

Default key build. Aldrachi Reaver maximizes Soul generation and Reaver's Glaive value, which is exactly what big pulls want: Sigil of Spite and Soul Sigils feed extra Soul Fragments, Spirit Bomb keeps Frailty rolling on the whole pack, and Sigil of Silence handles the caster packs Disrupt cannot cover alone. Keen Engagement and Preemptive Strike are the standard hero-choice picks.

Flex - Control and Magic Defense

Swap-in package rather than a full archetype. Take Soul Barrier and Soul Cleanse when magic damage dominates, Sigil of Chains when the route needs adds dragged into cleave range, and Sigil of Silence plus Chaos Nova for interrupt-heavy weeks. Champion of the Glaive and Master of the Glaive are the class-tree flex points you trade to afford it.

Arena - Tormentor Pressure (3v3)

Vengeance in arena is a pressure-and-peel tank. Tormentor stacks damage taken on the kill target, Demonic Trample and Infernal Strike keep you glued to it, Jagged Spikes punishes melee cleaves, and Detainment Imprison sets up kill windows. Reverse Magic and Illidan's Grasp flex by enemy comp.

Season 1 acquisition targets, not re-verified for Season 2. The rows below name Season 1 items at their Season 1 item levels and are accurate as that; they are not Season 2 recommendations. Season 2's raid is The Venomous Abyss (8 bosses, Nek'zali the Soulcoiler through Ula'tek). Confirmed Season 2 raid item levels run 279 (Raid Finder, first boss) to 344 (Mythic, last two bosses and Very Rare drops), with Normal 292-302, Heroic 305-315 and the Great Vault paying 292/305/318/334 by difficulty. Open question: per-slot best-in-slot for Season 2 needs a sim source, and none was reachable.

Season 1 acquisition targets, not re-verified for Season 2. The dungeons named below are the Season 1 pool and are not in Season 2 rotation. Season 2 runs Altar of Fangs (new in 12.1), Murder Row, Den of Nalorakk, The Blinding Vale, Voidscar Arena, Temple of Sethraliss, Kings' Rest and Ruby Life Pools. Confirmed Season 2 keystone item levels: +2 through +3 pay 295 end-of-run and 305 in the vault, rising to 311 end-of-run and 318 in the vault at +10 and above. Open question: per-slot best-in-slot for Season 2 needs a sim source, and none was reachable.

Written for patch 12.0.7. Patch 12.1 increased max-level player health and creature damage by 25% and made crowd-control diminishing returns reset after 20 seconds instead of 16, so defensive timing and crowd-control advice on this page is the most likely to have moved. Source: Curse of Ula'tek content update notes, https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24293281.

What improves results

• Keep Demon Spikes rolling against physical damage
• Bank Souls before a buster, then Spirit Bomb and Soul Cleave through it
• Use Fiery Brand on schedule - it is one of your biggest defensives
• Sigil of Flame is strong AoE threat, use it on every pull

Common mistakes

• Spending Souls at full health
• Letting Demon Spikes sit unused
• Saving Fiery Brand so long it is wasted
• Overcapping Fury instead of Soul Cleaving
