Demon Hunters command chaotic energies to inflict havoc on their enemies or focus it on themselves for attacks. These lethal warriors use the souls of slain enemies to sustain themselves. Demon Hunters can be played in two ways, either as a Melee DPS Havoc spec or a Vengeance Tank spec.
Vengeance Demon Hunters are formidable tanks that have great self-sustain and consistent damage. Check below for a guide to Vengeance Demon Hunters in World of Warcraft!
Ultimate Vengeance Demon Hunter Guide – WOW
Vengeance Demon Hunters are an amalgamation of the other tank classes. They have self-healing that scales on damage taken, they have damage mitigation and a DPS and crowd control toolkit that is uniquely their own. They also have a unique “Frailty” debuff that they inflict on enemies that is essential to their kit.
There are a lot of good things about Vengeance Demon Hunters. They have high mobility for a tank and excellent sustain. This allows them to have excellent solo capabilities and consistent damage output.
Despite these advantages, no class is perfect. The Vengeance Demon Hunter has very little utility to offer their party as they are very focused on sustaining themselves or damaging enemies.
Their damage mitigation and sustain also heavily relies on having a target, so they do poorly against being left alone with environmental damage.

Skill Rotation
