Tank Buster and taunt swap around it. The initial damage is Physical and can be reduced with all your main defensive abilities.

Tips for Sprocketmonger Lockenstock for Vengeance Demon Hunter
Defensive Tips

from the boss with

Defensive Tips

Molten Gold Knuckles, a heavy physical hit with a small amount of fire damage. Use cooldowns to mitigate the initial damage. The hit leaves you covered in

General Cooldown Usage
Vengeance Demon Hunter has to always consider how to use their offensive cooldowns since they are all also your defensive cooldowns. Here are the main ones to consider how to use optimally in Liberation of Undermine:
Metamorphosis - Our main, 2-minute cooldown, which serves as our strongest defensive cooldown, while also being by far the strongest offensive cooldown when playing as
Fel-Scarred.
Fel Devastation - Our 28-40 second cooldown depending on talents. Serves as our most available defensive cooldown while also being a core part of our offensive kit as
Fel-Scarred.
Fiery Brand - Our 1-minute cooldown, reduces damage taken by 40% while increasing Fire damage dealt through
Fiery Demise.
To maximize damage as Vengeance Demon Hunter you are going to want to
use all your cooldowns very close to on cooldown, and as Fel-Scarred you
also want to overlap
Metamorphosis with
Fiery Brand.
During progression this might not always be doable, and you might have to
delay some casts to cover vital Tank mechanics. If this is the case you want
to prioritize using
Fel Devastation and
Metamorphosis
as often as possible while delaying
Fiery Brand if you are playing
Fel-Scarred,
and prioritize using
Fiery Brand over
Fel Devastation and
Metamorphosis if you are playing
Aldrachi Reaver.
Once you are used to the mechanics and have higher itemlevel gear it is often possible to cover many Tank mechanics using only passive tools such as
Void Reaver,
Fel Flame Fortification and
Calcified Spikes, freeing up your cooldowns for offensive usage.
