Defensive Tips

  • The first taunt swap mechanic is Molten Gold Knuckles Icon 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 Golden Drip Icon Golden Drip which you need to move to remove all stacks of before the time runs out.

  • The second tank mechanic to worry about is Double Whammy Shot Icon Double Whammy Shot, the boss targets a random player and someone needs to soak the bullet.

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 Icon 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 Icon 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 Icon Fiery Brand - Our 1-minute cooldown, reduces damage taken by 40% while increasing Fire damage dealt through Fiery Demise Icon 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 Icon Metamorphosis with Fiery Brand Icon 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 Icon Fel Devastation and Metamorphosis Icon Metamorphosis as often as possible while delaying Fiery Brand Icon Fiery Brand if you are playing Fel-Scarred, and prioritize using Fiery Brand Icon Fiery Brand over Fel Devastation Icon Fel Devastation and Metamorphosis Icon 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 Icon Void Reaver, Fel Flame Fortification Icon Fel Flame Fortification and Calcified Spikes Icon Calcified Spikes, freeing up your cooldowns for offensive usage.
