Vengeance Demon Hunter

PvE guide, updated for Patch 12.1.5

Stat Priority

The following stat priority was generated using SimC on this guide’s gear profile. This process calculates the priority of stats based on their simulated value. For tanks, simulations focus on maximizing DPS. Updated for the latest patch in World of Warcraft: Midnight (Patch 12.1.5).

Stat priority

  1. Agility
  2. Crit
  3. Versatility
  4. Mastery
  5. Haste

This run cannot separate Versatility and Mastery: the gap is inside its own margin, so treat them as interchangeable and spend on whichever is cheaper to acquire.

Where these stat weights come from

SimulationCraft runs this guide’s Vengeance Demon Hunter profile against Single Target for a baseline, then runs it again with a little more of each stat. The damage one extra point adds is that stat’s weight, and the priority is the weights in order.

Your character isn’t that profile. Gear, tier set, trinkets and talents all move what a stat is worth, and the further your gear is from the profile’s, the further your weights move. A Stat weights sim runs the same process on your own character.

Only need the stat priority?

Sim your highest-DPS stat priority on your own gear, for the mode and rotation style you play.
