Throughout Battle for Azeroth, Protection Warriors were the dominant Tank in Mythic+ for the entire expansion. However, with all the changes in Shadowlands to systems and classes, we've seen a new dominant Tank -- the Vengeance Demon Hunter!
Vengeance Demon Hunter Mythic+ Guide
If you've looked at the
Mythic+ leaderboard on Raider.io for Shadowlands Season 1
, you'll have noticed the rise of the Vengeance Demon Hunter with the majority of groups running the Tank at the top of the leaderboard. This is a change from the highest keys in
Season 4 of BFA
, where Protection Warrior dominated the meta.
Here are some of the reasons that Vengeance Demon Hunter is so strong at the moment!
General Tankiness
Vengeance Demon Hunters are probably one of the Tanks with the best survivability in Mythic+ due to their overwhelming number of cooldowns and generally large HP pool. They have the highest base health pool from
Dicke Haut
and get a passive 15% damage reduction from
Dämonischer Schutz
, as well as many different ways to proc their mitigation abilities. This allows Vengeance Demon Hunters to face-tank mobs more than the other tanks, especially with some of the changes in Shadowlands, as well as survive very high magic burst damage.
Base Mitigation
Vengeance has the following mitigation buttons:
Dämonenstachel
for Increased Armor and 15% Parry Chance - 2 charges, 20 sec (reduced by Haste) recharge.
Metamorphose
for 50% Health, 200% Armor and increased resource generation - 3 minute cooldown.
Flammendes Brandmal
for 40% damage reduction from the target.
Vengeance also has some big passives:
Dämonischer Schutz
- a flat 15% damage reduction to all forms of damage.
Dicke Haut
- 65% Stamina and 100% Armor.
Additional Bonuses in Shadowlands
However, there are many talents and Legendaries in Shadowlands that have helped Vengeance stand out by increasing the uptime of their defensive toolkit, significantly reducing their damage taken.
Dämonisch
- which allows for more
Metamorphose
uptime, once a minute.
The combination of
Lebendig verbrannt
,
Peinigende Flammen
and
Verkohltes Fleisch
gives a 40% damage reduction with a rather high uptime to all creatures in the pack.
Verkohltes Fleisch
makes
Feuerbrandaura
increase the duration of
Flammendes Brandmal
.
Peinigende Flammen
increases the uptime on
Feuerbrandaura
.
Lebendig verbrannt
makes
Flammendes Brandmal
spread to all nearby targets!
The
Feurige Seele
Legendary Power greatly reduces the cooldown of
Flammendes Brandmal
, especially with the
Teufelsverteidiger
Conduit
All these things combined allow for Vengeance Demon Hunters to have a high uptime on some mitigation and for the moments when they don't, they easily have the mobility to kite the pack.
Damage Output - Kyrian Covenant
While Vengeance Demon Hunters don't have the best single target damage, according to
Warcraft Logs
on Shriekwing and Hungering Destroyer, their AoE damage stands out, especially with the most popular Covenant choice, Kyrian. The
Elysischer Erlass
deals a massive amount of damage to every target in a pull, and combined with the double Potency conduits,
Wiederholter Erlass
and
Wachsendes Inferno
leads to high AoE damage.
Vengeance DH ConduitsVengance DH Kyrian Guide
Some other tanks like Guardian Druid and Brewmaster Monk have looked to be on par with Vengeance DH defensively, but Vengeance's offensive capabilities stand out especially when needing to kite. Protection Paladin's tend to have a very high damage profile, but are rather frail.
Conclusion
In Conclusion, Vengeance DH's are one of the tanks that have to kite the least in Mythic+ at the moment due to the large amounts of Damage Reduction abilities that they can use, While in
Metamorphose
, geared Vengeance DHs already have over 100k health and a massive amount of armor when it's needed the most and in between these moments, they can
Dämonenstachel
and spread
Flammendes Brandmal
across all the mobs. If that wasn't all, they have a Cheat Death effect on their talent row from
Verzweiflungstat
which is probably the strongest Cheat Death in the game, as it doesn't have a "massive overkill" exception and provides another 15 seconds of
Metamorphose
. Also, while it's nothing new, the utility from a Vengeance Demon Hunter is very good, as the only Tank that brings a blanket silence, and one of two tanks that has an AoE grip,
Chaosbrandmal
for 5% magic damage and
Einkerkern
-- one of the few Crowd Controls that don't cause the player to be in combat with the mob.
In Shadowlands, some players have felt like Tanks are more "kiters" than Tanks and while you still have to kite as a Vengeance Demon Hunter, Veng DH is definitely a stand out tank for being able to sit in the pack, while other tanks feel forced to pop everything on pull and just kite afterwards.
