World of Warcraft Dragonflightplayers have a lot ofgreat class/spec options when it comes to tankingtheir way through the latest expansion’s content. There are plenty of viable options, as long as tanks are willing to take the time to master their rotations, get the right talents in place, and wrap their heads around the ideal stat priorities for their spec.
Demon Hunters have the option of going for either the DPS or Tank role inWorld of Warcraft, but the Vengeance Demon Hunters are usually focused on fulfilling the tank role. Tanking well is an incredibly valuable skill set and can help guarantee invites and spots inMythic and Raid groupswhen players reach the endgame. Once players have the right Vengeance talents in place, they’ll want to start studying stat priorities to understand what is most valuable for them.

As always, exact stat priority does shift around a bit depending on each situation and strategy while playing this top tier tanking spec. There’s a general stat priority order that should be pretty safe though, so players will want to follow these guidelines as they reach the endgame and startstacking stats on their Demon Hunter…
Vengeance Demon Hunter Stats Explained
Agility
Agility is the primary stat for Vengeance Demon Hunters. Agility will increase attack power and damage done with abilities. It also helps increase Armor (while Demon Spikes is active) and dodge.
Stamina
Stamina helps increase Demon Hunter Health and is valuable, but likely will just be an added bonus on any top tier gear.
Armor
As a tank, Armor is going to be very important. The Armor primary stat increases physical mitigation. At this point, there is no cap to worry about for Armor.
Haste
Haste reduces some cooldowns that are crucial to the Vengeance Demon Hunter rotation and also increases proc rates on a ton of crucial abilities.
Versatility
As usual, Versatility boosts all damage and healing done and decreases all incoming damage.
Critical Strike
Critical Strike has been an important stat for WoW Hunters for years and thatisn’t changing inDragonflight. Crits deal double damage and healing when they pop off and, for Vengeance Demon Hunters, also covery to Parry Rating.
Mastery
Mastery will increase Attack Power for Demon Hunters, in addition to having some nice synergies with Demon Spikes.
Ideal Stat Caps
At this point, it’s impossible to hit the caps for any of the Vengeance Demon Hunter stats. At some point in the futureDragonflightmeta game it’s possible that might change.
That should be everything that Vengeance Demon Hunters need to know as they figure out their stat priorities and begin dominating theWoW Dragonflightendgame content. Be sure to check back for moreWoW Dragonflightnews, updates, and strategy guides in the near future. Until then, For the Horde!
